Terminal synergetic control based cheetah optimizer for knee-exoskeleton systems [PDF]

Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering
The knee-exoskeleton is mechanical devices which are designed to help people rehabilitate impaired limb mobility and replace the use of physiotherapists. The scope of this study is rehabilitation assistance for the lower limb (i.e. knee of the leg).

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

An Advanced Helicopter Engine Control System [PDF]

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1982
The Amalgamation of Functions The requirements of the first engine controllers were primarily to satisfy the needs of the engine and, almost as an afterthought, to consider interface with the aircraft and the pilot. The latter resulted in the overwhelming plethora of “essential” ground test‐sets and cockpit instruments that we see today.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Design of Nonlinear PID and FOPID Controllers for Electronic Throttle Valve Plate’s Position

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The electronic throttle valve (ETV) system is one of the essential parts of the automobile because it controls the amount of airflow into the engine’s combustion system. In fact, there are challenges in ETV control due to several nonsmooth nonlinearities,

An Innovative Damped Cuckoo Search Algorithm With a Comparative Study Against Other Adaptive Variants

IEEE Access, 2019
This paper aims to find the best variant of Cuckoo Search Algorithm that makes the step size of Lévy flight adaptive. For this reason, we introduce a new variant of CSA called Damped Cuckoo Search (DCS) in which the step size of Lévy ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
