Design and Analysis of a Launcher Flight Control System Based on Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion by Pedro Simplício, Paul Acquatella, Samir Bennani

“…This paper investigates the application of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) for launch vehicle flight control, addressing the limited exploration of nonlinear control architectures and their potential benefits in the context of the current “New Space” era. In this context, this study aims to bridge the gap between the launcher’s traditional linear control practice and nonlinear methods, focusing on INDI, which offers the potential to enhance limits of performance while reducing mission preparation (“missionisation”) efforts. …”

Coordinated regulation of timing and strength of synaptic outputs by adrenergic receptors through control of action potentials in Purkinje cells by Kei Furukawa, Kei Furukawa, Shin-ya Kawaguchi

“…We demonstrate that Purkinje cell axons exhibit negative control of action potentials in amplitude and conduction velocity by β-adrenergic receptors in a manner dependent on the axonal length through specific reduction of axonal Na+ currents. On the other hand, β-adrenergic receptors increased presynaptic release probability without changing the amount of readily releasable vesicles in axon terminals of Purkinje cells. …”
