Faults and failures are familiar case studies in centralized and decentralized tracking systems. The processing of sensor data becomes more severe in the presence of faults/failures and/or noise. Effective schemes have been presented for decentralized systems, in the presence of faults only. In some practical scenarios of systems, there are certain interruptions in addition to these faults. These interruptions may occur in the form of noise. However it is expected that the decision about the sensor data is difficult in the presence of noise. This is because the noise adversely affects the communication amongst sensors and the processing unit. More complexity is expected when there are faults and noise simultaneously. To deal with this problem, in addition to existing fault detection and isolation schemes, the Kalman filter is employed. Here, a generic discussion is provided, which is equally applicable to other situations. This work addresses various faults in the presence of noise for decentralized tracking systems. Local single faults and multiple faults in the presence of noise are the core issues addressed in this paper. The proposed work is comprised of a general scenario for a decentralized tracking system followed by a case study of a target tracking scenario with and without noise. The presented schemes are also tested for different types of faults. The proposed work presents effective tracking in the presence of noise and faults. The results obtained demonstrate the acceptable performance of the scheme of this work.

Multi-stable behavior at the microscopic length-scale is fundamental for phase transformation phenomena observed in many materials. These phenomena can be driven not only by external mechanical forces but are also crucially influenced by disorder and thermal fluctuations. Disorder, arising from structural defects or fluctuations in external stimuli, disrupts the homogeneity of the material and can significantly alter the system's response, often leading to the suppression of cooperativity in the phase transition.

We present an experimental and numerical study of a piezoelectric energy harvester driven by broadband vibrations. This device can extract power from random fluctuations and can be described by a stochastic model, based on an underdamped Langevin equation with white noise, which mimics the dynamics of the piezoelectric material. A crucial point in the modelisation is represented by the appropriate description of the coupled load circuit that is necessary to harvest electrical energy.

Purpose: Drug repositioning, a strategy that repurposes already-approved drugs for novel therapeutic applications, provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional drug discovery. Network-based models have been adopted by many computational methodologies, especially those that use graph neural networks to predict drug-disease associations. However, these techniques frequently overlook the quality of the input network, which is a critical factor for achieving accurate predictions.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research shows that microbial interactions, rather than just individual isolates, significantly influence how well antibiotics work, especially in terms of persistence and tolerance.
  • The ability of microbes to bounce back after antibiotic exposure and get cleared is closely tied to the size of the surviving population and fluctuations in cell counts.
  • Our study emphasizes that the interactions among microbes in a community affect their recovery post-treatment, which we modeled through simulations of a three-member microbial community to illustrate these dynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) approaches struggle with issues like crossing fibers and lesions, which limit the accuracy of tractography results.
  • A new tractometry pipeline introduces multi-tensor fixel-based metrics, utilizing a robust method called Multi-Resolution Discrete Search (MRDS) to improve sensitivity and noise resistance.
  • Evaluation results show that this method excels in detecting white matter anomalies in patients with conditions like multiple sclerosis, outperforming traditional single-tensor methods.
