This paper addresses the state estimation of the nonlinear initial alignment of the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), which mainly focuses on the initial alignment on the swaying base and under the in-motion condition with the measurement uncertainties. In order to achieve a higher alignment precision, stronger numerical stability, and lower computational cost for the initial alignment of SINS on the swaying base, a new discrete large azimuth misalignment error model of SINS is established, and an improved fifth-degree cubature Kalman filter (5th-CKF) algorithm is proposed, which combines the 5th-CKF and a simplified dimensionality reduction filtering algorithm. The 5th-CKF is introduced to solve the nonlinear filtering problem, a simplified dimensionality reduction algorithm is derived to reduce the large calculation values of 5th-CKF. Furthermore, under the Bayesian framework, a novel filtering approach named the fifth-degree variational Bayesian (VB) adaptive cubature Kalman filter is deduced for the in-motion alignment with a large azimuth misalignment angle and unknown and time-varying measurement noise statistics, which combines the iterative VB approach and 5th-CKF. The 5th-CKF is exploited to handle the nonlinear initial alignment model, and the VB approach is utilized to iteratively estimate the sufficient statistics of the measurement noise. Mathematical simulation, turntable, and vehicle experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed approaches.

Background: Although commercially developed automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have recently been approved and become available in a limited number of countries, they are not universally available, accessible, or affordable. Therefore, open-source AID systems, cocreated by an online community of people with diabetes and their families behind the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, have become increasingly popular.

Objective: This study focused on examining the lived experiences, physical and emotional health implications of people with diabetes following the initiation of open-source AID systems, their perceived challenges, and their sources of support, which have not been explored in the existing literature.

A hierarchy category of socially assistive robots' functions: Insights from older adults.

Assist Technol

Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Behavior and Cognitive Neuroscience, School of Psychology, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an, China.

Socially assistive robots (SARs) are increasingly recognized for their potential in helping older adults age in place. Effectively meeting the diverse needs of older adults requires a proper classification of SARs' functions. However, existing function categories are primarily proposed from the perspective of researchers, rarely from older adults themselves.

In this study, an advanced nanofiber breast cancer model was developed and systematically characterized including physico-chemical, cell-biological and biophysical parameters. Using electrospinning, the architecture of tumor-associated collagen signatures (TACS5 and TACS6) was mimicked. By employing a rotating cylinder or static plate collector set-up, aligned fibers (TACS5-like structures) and randomly orientated fibers (TACS6-like structures) fibers were produced, respectively.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is typically associated with winter; however, its less common variant, summertime depression, presents with depressive episodes during the summer months. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient with recurrent summertime depressive episodes characterized by low mood, fatigue, anhedonia, insomnia, and loss of appetite, each resolving with the onset of the winter season. Our patient's history of summertime depression aligned with the atypical SAD symptoms, including irritability and weight loss, commonly associated with non-seasonal depression.
