A Two Degree of Freedom Approach for Discrete‐Time Sliding Mode Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new two degree of freedom (2‐DOF) framework for discrete‐time sliding mode control (DSMC) that decouples the disturbed evolution from its nominal counterpart. The novel nominal/disturbed subsystem separation for DSMC can be used to define multiple closed‐loop specifications. The nominal regulation (or tracking) controller

Biomimetic Multifinger Tactile Sensing and Contact‐Regulated Palpation for Autonomous Breast Tumor Localization

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early detection of breast abnormalities remains challenging: manual palpation is subjective and operator‐dependent, while imaging modalities may miss small or subtle stiffness anomalies. This paper presents a biomimetic multifinger robotic palpation approach intended to support early breast‐cancer screening and follow‐up assessment as a proof ...

Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract ‘Dent was probably an amateur and nothing is known of his life’, state Bryant and Heneage. Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

Ovarian hormones and high-fat diet duration distinctively modulate hypothalamic chemokine profile. [PDF]

J Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Excessive intake of saturated fats triggers inflammation in the hypothalamus, a key regulator of energy balance. In the chronic phase of this inflammatory response, bone marrow‐derived and lymphoid cells are chemoattracted to this region, partially mitigating high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced metabolic impairments.

The Dagger of Omahundro
