Dynamic Modeling and Composite Attitude Cooperative Control for Dumbbell-Shaped Spacecraft by Qingmu Ai, Yingzi Guan, Yuzhi Wang, Shunli Li

“…This study proposes a composite attitude coordination control approach to enhance attitude stability and suppress vibrations during the attitude maneuver of a dumbbell-shaped spacecraft (DSS). First, a dynamic model is formulated that accounts for actuator faults and external disturbances while enabling distributed attitude coordination control. …”

Statistical shape model-based automatic evaluation and validation of anatomical measures on healthy femur shapes from limited field of view imaging by Jasper Kwasny, Cynthia Fantini Pagani, Uwe G. Kersting, Bhushan Borotikar

“…A standard clinical CT scan of the hip joint provides only partial femoral morphometrics due to its limited field-of-view and hence is useless for extracting anatomical measures of the entire femur that may become useful in retrospective studies and applied research, such as improving musculoskeletal models. This study used a statistical shape modelling approach to automatically determine seven anatomical measures of the femur from limited field-of-view 3D imaging. …”

The Shape and Mass of the Galactic Dark Matter Halo from the Axisymmetric Jeans Model by Lan Zhang, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Ling Zhu, Ruizhi Zhang, Chengqun Yang, Shi Shao, Jiang Chang, Feilu Wang, Hao Tian, Gang Zhao, Chao Liu

“…We find consistent results for the dark matter density profiles, r _200 , and M _200 within a 1 σ confidence region for models constrained by KGs, BHBs, and both. We find the strongest consistency between KGs and BHBs in constraining dark matter profiles for models incorporating radially varying halo flattening ( q ( r _gc )), which suggests the Milky Way’s dark matter halo shape evolves with Galactocentric distance ( r _gc ). …”

Amphibian newts as experimental models for studying weight gain after castration by Mai Takehara, Mitsuki Kyakuno, Kazuko Okamoto, Ichiro Tazawa, Nobuaki Furuno, Megumi Furumitsu, Kazuyoshi Ukena, Takuya Imamura, Takashi Takeuchi, Toshinori Hayashi

“…In order to understand the mechanism of post-castration obesity in vertebrates other than mammals, experimental models are required. We examined whether the Iberian ribbed newt, which has recently become a popular experimental model for amphibian research, could serve as a model for analyzing changes in body shape after castration. …”
