“We Cannot Talk as a Family”: Complexities of Survivorship Communication Among Hispanic/Latino Young Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer, Parents, and Clinicians

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Young adult childhood cancer survivors (YA‐CCS) have an increased risk of treatment‐related health complications throughout their lives. Lifelong survivorship care is recommended, yet many YA‐CCS experience disruptions in care during pediatric‐to‐adult transitions and do not receive recommended survivorship care.

Adaptive dynamic programming-based controller with admittance adaptation for robot–environment interaction

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2020
The problem of optimal tracking control for robot–environment interaction is studied in this article. The environment is regarded as a linear system and an admittance control with iterative linear quadratic regulator method is obtained to guarantee the ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Min-max approximate dynamic programming [PDF]

2011 IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Aided Control System Design (CACSD), 2011
In this paper we describe an approximate dynamic programming policy for a discrete-time dynamical system perturbed by noise. The approximate value function is the pointwise supremum of a family of lower bounds on the value function of the stochastic control problem; evaluating the control policy involves the solution of a min-max or saddle-point ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Model-Free Cooperative Control for Multi-Agent Systems Using the Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach

IEEE Access, 2018
In this paper, the approximate dynamic programming (ADP) technique is used to resolve the cooperative control problem for the completely model-free linear multi-agent systems in both continuoustime and discrete-time cases.

A Fast and Optimal Smart Home Energy Management System: State-Space Approximate Dynamic Programming

IEEE Access, 2020
Dynamic programming (DP) can be used to generate the optimal schedules of a smart home energy management system (SHEMS), however, it is computationally difficult because we have to loop over all the possible states, decisions and outcomes.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Data Driven State Reconstruction of Dynamical System Based on Approximate Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning

IEEE Access, 2021
A data-driven approximation formulation for the state reconstruction problem of dynamical systems is presented in this paper. Without the assumption of an explicit mathematical model, the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) based approach of a ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
