Vehicle parameters are essential for dynamic analysis and control systems. One problem of the current estimation algorithm for vehicles' parameters is that: real-time estimation methods only identify parts of vehicle parameters, whereas other parameters such as suspension damping coefficients and suspension and tire stiffnesses are assumed to be known in advance by means of an inertial parameter measurement device (IPMD). In this study, a fusion algorithm is proposed for identifying comprehensive vehicle parameters without the help of an IPMD, and vehicle parameters are divided into time-independent parameters (TIPs) and time-dependent parameters (TDPs) based on whether they change over time. TIPs are identified by a hybrid-mass state-variable (HMSV). A dual unscented Kalman filter (DUKF) is applied to update both TDPs and online states. The experiment is conducted on a real two-axle vehicle and the test data are used to estimate both TIPs and TDPs to validate the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Numerical simulations are performed to further investigate the algorithm's performance in terms of sprung mass variation, model error because of linearization and various road conditions. The results from both the experiment and simulation show that the proposed algorithm can estimate TIPs as well as update TDPs and online states with high accuracy and quick convergence, and no requirement of road information.

The estimation of CO emission factors (EFs) is a key step in calculating automobile CO emissions. However, city-level research on the integrated estimation of vehicle CO EFs under real conditions is insufficient. To enrich the research methods of city-level vehicle CO EFs, this paper constructs a vehicle-road-driver three-layer regression model and estimates vehicle CO EFs empirical parameters for Tianjin.

Introduction: Brain ischemia-reperfusion can cause serious and irreversible health problems. Recent studies have suggested that certain flavonoids may help stabilize the correctly folded structure of the visual photoreceptor protein rhodopsin and offset the deleterious effect of retinitis pigmentosa mutations.

Objective: The current study aimed to determine the effect of 3',4'-Dihydroxyflavonol (DiOHF) supplementation for 1 week on lipid peroxidation in the retina tissue following focal brain ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) may improve gastrointestinal health by exerting immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and/or antiparasitic effects. Bark extracts from coniferous tree species have previously been shown to reduce the burden of a range of parasite species in the gastrointestinal tract, with condensed tannins as the potential active compounds. In the present study, the impact of an acetone extract of pine bark () on the resistance, performance and tolerance of genetically diverse mice () was assessed.

Metasurface higher-order poincaré sphere polarization detection clock.

Accurately and swiftly characterizing the state of polarization (SoP) of complex structured light is crucial in the realms of classical and quantum optics. Conventional strategies for detecting SoP, which typically involves a sequence of cascaded optical elements, are bulky, complex, and run counter to miniaturization and integration. While metasurface-enabled polarimetry has emerged to overcome these limitations, its functionality predominantly remains confined to identifying SoP within the standard Poincaré sphere framework.

An understanding of intracellular mechanisms by which fentanyl and other synthetic opioids exert adverse effects on breathing is needed. Using freely moving adult male guinea pigs, we administered the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), to determine whether nitrosyl factors, such as nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols, play a role in fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. Ventilatory parameters were recorded by whole body plethysmography to determine the effects of fentanyl (75 μg/kg, IV) in guinea pigs that had received a prior injection of vehicle (saline), L-NAME or the inactive D-isomer, D-NAME (both at 50 μmol/kg, IV), 15 min beforehand.
