We consider the influence of active speed fluctuations on the dynamics of a d-dimensional active Brownian particle performing a persistent stochastic motion. The speed fluctuation brings about a dynamical anisotropy even in the absence of shape anisotropy. We use the Laplace transform of the Fokker-Planck equation to obtain exact expressions for time-dependent dynamical moments. Our results agree with direct numerical simulations and show several dynamical crossovers determined by the activity, persistence, and speed fluctuation. The dynamical anisotropy leads to a subdiffusive scaling in the parallel component of displacement fluctuation at intermediate times. The kurtosis remains positive at short times determined by the speed fluctuation, crossing over to a negative minimum at intermediate times governed by the persistence before vanishing asymptotically. The probability distribution of particle displacement obtained from numerical simulations in two dimensions shows two crossovers between compact and extended trajectories via two bimodal distributions at intervening times. While the speed fluctuation dominates the first crossover, the second crossover is controlled by persistence like in the wormlike chain model of semiflexible polymers.

Due to its simplicity, low cost, safety, and high precision, the fiber displacement interferometer has emerged as a highly promising and feasible method for measuring shock-induced vibrations. However, the harsh environments associated with such shocks pose significant challenges, including the need for resistance to fluctuations in light intensity, immunity to disturbances in the transmission fiber, and the capacity to conduct large-range, high-speed bidirectional measurements. To our knowledge, no existing methods adequately address all these requirements.

In the subauroral zone at the boundary of the auroral oval in the evening and night hours during geomagnetic disturbances, a narrow (about 1°-2°) and extended structure (several hours in longitude) is formed. It is known as a polarization jet (PJ) or the subauroral ion drift (SAID). The PJ/SAID is a fast westward ion drift and is one of the main signatures of a geomagnetic disturbance in the subauroral ionosphere at the altitudes of the F-layer, when the geomagnetic AE index reaches more than 500 nT.

The increase in computational power demand led by the development of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming unsustainable. New paradigms of computation, which potentially differ from digital computation, together with novel hardware architecture and devices, are anticipated to reduce the exorbitant energy demand for data-processing tasks. Memristive systems with resistive switching behavior are under intense research, given their prominent role in the fabrication of memory devices that promise the desired hardware revolution in our intensive data-driven era.

This study first proposes an innovative method for optimizing the maximum power extraction from photovoltaic (PV) systems during dynamic and static environmental conditions (DSEC) by applying the horse herd optimization algorithm (HHOA). The HHOA is a bio-inspired technique that mimics the motion cycles of an entire herd of horses. Next, the linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) was applied to monitor the HHOA's reference voltage output.

An Improved Speed Sensing Method for Drive Control.

Variable-speed electrical drive control typically relies upon a two-loop scheme, one for torque/speed and another for stator current control. In modern drive control methods, the actual mechanical speed is needed for both loops. In practical applications, the speed is often acquired by incremental rotary encoders.
