Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Non-Proportionality Indices and Error Constraint in Modal Analysis of Viscously Damped Linear Structures

Applied Sciences, 2021
Use of modal procedures in systems with non-proportional damping (such as structures with added viscous damping systems) results in response errors, shown in this study to depend on dissimilar and often conflicting conditions for different variables and ...

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Observer‐Based Adaptive Event‐Triggered Tracking Control for Fuzzy TS Systems With Premise Mismatch

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper presents an adaptive logistic event‐triggered observer‐based tracking controller for Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy systems under constrained inputs and network delays. Leveraging a hybrid LMI and Secretary Bird Optimization approach, this strategy significantly minimizes communication overhead and computational burden while ensuring optimal reference ...

dynoGP: Deep Gaussian Processes for Dynamic System Identification

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel class of deep models for system identification, dynamical deep Gaussian processes, which combine the strengths of data‐driven methods, such as those based on neural network architectures, with the ability to output a probability distribution for uncertainty representation.

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

A Coupled SVM-NODE Model for Efficient Prediction of Ship Roll Motion

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Traditional analyses of ship roll damping and added moment of inertia rely on free roll decay and forced roll tests, but acquiring linear (small angles) and nonlinear (large angles) relationships demands extensive computational cases and parameter ...

Correction method for dynamic measurement with an optical lever AFM (Effects of ambient fluid and surface force)

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2023
Cantilever vibration in an optical lever AFM is theoretically analyzed considering the effect of surface force and ambient fluid. The surface force between the tip and the sample is modeled using a cantilever with a spring and damping added to the tip ...
