Adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant control of UAV systems based on radial basis function neural networks by Dehua Zhang, Lei Meng, Yao Hao, Ruixue Xia

“…To improve system resilience and achieve swift recovery without depending on fault detection, a passive Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) approach is developed, combining Sliding Mode Control (SMC) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks. The RBF network, utilizing its robust approximation abilities, is applied to dynamically estimate system uncertainties, thereby alleviating the chattering issue typical of traditional SMC and minimizing its negative effects on system reliability and operation. …”

Child maltreatment, cognitive functions and the mediating role of mental health problems among maltreated children and adolescents in Uganda by Herbert, E. Ainamani

“…Results: In total, 232 (100%) of the participant reported to have experienced at least one type of maltreatment in their lifetime including emotional, physical, and sexual violence as well as neglect. We found a negative association between child maltreatment and executive functions (β = − 0.487, p < 0.001) and working memory (β = − 0.242, p = 0.001). …”
