The effects of mechanical vibrations on control system stability could be significant in control systems designed on the assumption of rigid-body dynamics, such as launch vehicles. Vibrational loads can also cause damage to launch vehicles due to fatigue or excitation of structural resonances. This paper investigates a method to control structural vibrations in real time using a finite number of strain measurements from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor array.

- Protein/protein interactions (PPI) are important for brain functions, but their use as drug targets for brain disorders is not fully explored.
- A small molecule called compound 1028 has been identified that targets the FGF14/Na1.6 PPI and affects the channel's activity, resulting in increased excitability of neurons.
- Administering compound 1028 can enhance motivation under challenging conditions, and its effects are linked to changes in dopamine levels in the brain, suggesting a new way to impact behaviors related to neuropsychiatric disorders.
We have investigated the Raman spectrum and excitonic effects of the novel 2D TaNiTe structure. The monolayer is an indirect band gap semiconductor with an electronic band gap value of 0.09 and 0.

: We compared thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) with slow vital capacity (SVC) to determine if EIT could monitor pulmonary function in ALS patients longitudinally. : Of 32 ALS patients and 32 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) initially enrolled in the Pulmonary Function via Impedance Tomography (PuFIT) study, 22 ALS and 20 HCs returned for a follow-up visit ∼3.9 months later.
