Bioinspired Tracking Control of High Speed Nonholonomic Ground Vehicles

Journal of Robotics, 2015
The behavior of nature’s predators is considered for designing a high speed tracking controller for nonholonomic vehicles, whose dynamics are represented using a unicycle model.

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.

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 ...

Adaptive Control for Nonlinear Mechanical Systems

Transactions of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 1986
In this paper, we show a design method of model reference adaptive control system for nonlinear mechanical systems using the special features of the mechanical system, without using any linearizations or approximations. The proposed MRACS assures the global asymptotic stability and the boundedness of internal signals of the whole system.
