The possibility of global noise reduction by the sound power control through selection of distribution and impedance of absorptive materials is discussed. It is necessary to investigate the relation between the global sound energy in the field and the total sound power radiated by sources. In the previous work,$^{(1.2)}$ the authors presented a useful design method to change boundary condition that can be useful to reduce noise in acoustically small enclosures. Changing boundary condition Is related to not only enclosure’s geometrical shape but also acoustical treatment on walls for example, attaching of impedance patches (ex: absorptive material). In many practical situations, we often meet situation to change acoustical treatment on walls. The possibility of total acoustic potential energy(globa1 noise) reduction by acoustic source power control is examined in an acoustically small cavity Using acoustic energy balance equation, the relation between global noise control performance and absorptive material’s arrangement/impedance is deduced. Numerical simulation is performed to interpret its physical meaning in terms of absorbent’s distribution and impedance.

This paper deals with the problem of the global stabilization for a class of tension leg platform (TLP) nonlinear control systems. It is well known that, in general, the global asymptotic stability of the TLP subsystems does not imply the global asymptotic stability of the composite closed-loop system. Finding system parameters for stabilizing the control system is also an issue need to be concerned. In this paper, we give additional sufficient conditions for the global stabilization of a TLP nonlinear system. In particular, we consider a class of NN based Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy TLP systems. Using the so-called parallel distributed compensation (PDC) controller, we prove that this class of systems can be globally asymptotically stable. The proper design of system parameters are found by a swarm intelligence algorithm called Evolved Bat Algorithm (EBA). An illustrative example is given to show the applicability of the main result.

Objectives: Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT) is effective in children with chronic tic disorders. This study aimed to assess the effect of group-based CBIT (group-CBIT) on tic severity and comorbid symptoms. We compared the efficacy of group CBIT with that of a control. Methods: Thirty children with chronic tic disorder or Tourette's disorder were enrolled in this study. Eighteen were assigned to the group-CBIT for eight sessions, and 12 were assigned to the control group. Tics and comorbid symptoms were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Rating Scale-IV, Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, and the Korean-Children Behavioral Checklist. We compared the pre- and post-intervention results of each group and determined the difference in the pre- and post-intervention results between intervention and the control group. Results: The YGTSS motor and vocal tic interference, global impairment, and global severity scores decreased in the intervention group only. Group CBIT was superior in reducing the motor tic interference, impairment score, and global severity score to the control group. Conclusion: The group-CBIT showed an improvement in tic symptoms, especially in reducing the level of interference and impairment of tics.

Most electronic chassis control systems until today have been designed with optimization on its own performance. However, According to the increase of the interest regarding a vehicle safety and development of information technique, the integration technique of current chassis systems is being emphasized. Each enterprise proposed it with name of GCC(Global Chassis Control) or UCC(Unified Chassis Control). This study realizes control algorithm of suspension and brake by using the vehicle model of low degree of freedom as the primary stage of realization of integrated chassis control system. The proposed algorithm build the simulation environment connected to the CarSim having full vehicle model of 27 degree of freedom for raising the thrust of results

동일 문화권에서의 문화성향(개인주의 vs. 집단주의)-내외 통제소재(내통제 vs. 외통제) 조합 유형에 따라 복합 자극에 대한 전역/국소 처리에서 차이가 있는지 검토하기 위해 자극 유형(복합도형과 복합문자)과 자극-자극 속성 일치 여부가 조작된 실험조건에서 실험참가자들이 보인 반응시간과 오반응률을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자극-자극 속성이 일치하는 조건에서의 전역 처리가 가장 빨랐던 반면, 자극-자극 속성 불일치 조건에서의 국소 처리가 가장 느렸다. 둘째, 복합문자에 비해 복합도형에 대한 반응시간이 더 짧았다. 셋째, 복합도형과는 달리 복합문자의 경우 두 가지 문화성향 모두에서 내적 통제소재보다는 외적 통제소재 경향의 실험참가자들에게서 전역선행성이 관찰되었다. 이런 결과는 동일한 문화권인 경우, 문화성향보다는 내외 통제소재와 같은 성격요인에서의 개인차가 전역/국소 처리에서의 차이를 더 민감하게 반영할 수 있다는 것과, 이런 개인차 변인은 지각수준보다는 좀 더 고차의 인지수준에 관여한다는 것을 시사한다.

Global efforts to identify groups at high risk for schistosomiasis have mainly concentrated on identifying their geographical distribution. Investigations on the socioeconomic characteristics of high-risk groups are relatively scarce. This study aimed to explore the associations between schistosomiasis among students and their parents' occupations. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted targeting 105,167 students in 1,772 primary schools across Sudan in 2017. From these students, 100,726 urine and 96,634 stool samples were collected to test for Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni infection. A multi-level mixed effect analysis was used with age and sex as fixed factors, and school as a random factor. The odd ratios (ORs) of practicing open defecation among farmers' children were almost 5 times higher than their counterparts whose parents were government officials (OR=4.97, 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 4.57-5.42, P<0.001). The ORs of contacting water bodies for watering livestock among farmers' children were more than 4 times higher than those of children whose parents were government officials (OR=4.59, 95% CIs: 4.02-5.24, P<0.001). This study shows that schistosomiasis represents a disease of poverty and that farmers' children constituted a high-risk group.

In this paper, the output feedback stabilizing problem is solved using any given state feedback control law. Compared to the linear systems is not so straightforward for nonlinear systems. We briefly explain the intrinsic obstructions for this problem and provide new output feedback scheme which achieves the semi-global stabilization with the high-gain state observer. THe overall uniform observability of the plant. Therefore, the result can be regarded as an extension of the separation principle for linear systems in some aspect.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have diverse and important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of adult stem cells in our tissues. Especially, BMPs are well known to be the main inducers of bone formation, by facilitating both proliferation and differentiation of bone stem cells. Interestingly, in skin stem cells, BMPs repress their proliferation but are indispensable for the proper differentiation into several lineages of skin cells. Here, we tested whether BMP antagonists have an effect on the prevention of wrinkle formation. For this study we used an in vivo wrinkle-induced mouse model. As a positive control, retinoic acid, one of the top anti-wrinkle effectors, showed a 44% improvement compared to the non-treated control. Surprisingly, bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a extracellular domain (BMPR1a-ECD) exhibited an anti-wrinkle effect which was 6-fold greater than that of retinoic acid. Our results indicate that BMP antagonists will be good targets for skin or hair diseases.

This paper proposes a new adaptive control scheme for flexible-link robots. A model-based nonlinear control scheme is designed based on a V-shape Lyapunov function, and then the nonlinear control i s extended to a model-based adaptive control to cope with parametric uncertainties in the dynamic model. The proposed control guarantees the global exponential or global asymptotic stability of the overall control system with all internal signals bounded. The effectiveness of the proposed control is shown by computer simulation.
