This paper describes the practical application of the receptance method for active vibration control of real structures. The method uses in general the measured transfer function between the input/output data including the dynamics of the actuators and sensors. Therefore, it does not require knowledge or evaluation of the system matrices M, C, K, which usually contain modeling errors. This woul...

Chemotaxis proteins organize into large, highly ordered, chemotactic signaling arrays, which in Vibrio species are found at the cell pole. Proper localization of signaling arrays is mediated by ParP, which tethers arrays to a cell pole anchor, ParC. Here we show that ParP's C-terminus integrates into the core-unit of signaling arrays through interactions with MCP-proteins and CheA. Its intercal...

Differentiation generates oscillations. For the nth derivative f(n, t) of a function f(t) that is analytic in a strip, including the real t-axis, the oscillations occupy a t interval that gets larger as n increases. The oscillations are studied in detail using integral representations and large-n asymptotics. For functions with singularities (poles or branch-points) in the complex t-plane, the ...

During mitosis a monooriented chromosome oscillates toward and away from its associated spindle pole and may be positioned many micrometers from the pole at the time of anaphase. We tested the hypothesis of Pickett-Heaps et al. (Pickett-Heaps, J. D., D. H. Tippit, and K. R. Porter, 1982, Cell, 29:729-744) that this behavior is generated by the sister kinetochores of a chromosome interacting wit...

In the present work, an integrated method of pole shape design optimization for reduction of torque pulsation components in permanent magnet synchronous motors is developed. A progressive design process is presented to find feasible optimal shapes. This method is applied on the pole shape optimization of two prototype permanent magnet synchronous motors, i.e., 4-poles/6-slots and 4-poles-12slots.

A single-end based fault location method is proposed for VSC (Voltage Sourced Converter) HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission systems. With the method, there no need communication system to collect data from different locations and checking synchronization avoided. The derived relationship between aerial ground voltage components along DC system. Bergeron model equations are used cal...

In Drosophila, polar plasm contains polar granules, which deposit the factors required for the formation of pole cells, germ line progenitors. Polar granules are tightly associated with mitochondria in early embryos, suggesting that mitochondria could contribute to pole cell formation. We have previously reported that mitochondrial large and small rRNAs (mtrRNAs) are transported from mitochondr...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the frontopolar hemodynamic response and depressive mood in children with mild or moderate major depressive disorder during six weeks treatment without medication. METHODS The subjects were 10 patients with mild or moderate depression. They were depressive drug-naive children and adolescents. The scores of Depression Self Rating Scale (DSRS), the resu...
