Estimating and controlling dynamical systems from observable time-series data are essential for understanding and manipulating nonlinear dynamics. This paper proposes a probabilistic framework for simultaneously estimating and controlling nonlinear dynamics under noisy observation conditions. Our proposed method utilizes the particle filter not only as a state estimator and a prior estimator for the dynamics but also as a controller.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study examined the effectiveness of the Canine Genotypes Panel 2.1 Kit for DNA identification in 150 unrelated dogs from three breeds: Golden Retrievers, Miniature Dachshunds, and Shiba Inus.
  • * Key findings revealed low random matching probabilities across breeds, indicating that the Kit is effective for identity testing and can serve as a population study tool for dogs in Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed the conception rates of wild Japanese monkeys in Fukushima City after radiation exposure from the 2011 nuclear disaster, using data from euthanized monkeys for population control.
  • Results indicated that while overall conception rates were similar over time, there was a significant decrease in conception rates for monkeys aged 8 years and older post-exposure, while younger monkeys showed no significant differences.
  • Although body fat, which affects fertility, didn't change significantly, the median cumulative radiation exposure was notably higher in the older age group, suggesting that higher exposure may contribute to decreased conception rates in that group.

Tandem GGGGCC repeat expansion in C9orf72 is a genetic cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Transcribed repeats are translated into dipeptide repeat proteins via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. However, the regulatory mechanism of RAN translation remains unclear.

Ischemia-induced postoperative scalp necrosis in the superficial temporal artery (STA) region is known to occur after STA-middle cerebral artery anastomoses. However, no reports have evaluated the risk of postoperative scalp necrosis in the occipital artery (OA) region. This study examined the surgical procedures that pose a risk for postoperative scalp necrosis in the OA region following posterior cranial fossa surgery.
