Dynamic Modeling of Electric Power on Light UAV by AN Siqi, LIU Xiaofeng, HOU Kuanxin, XU Xingchen

“…Focused on UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) equipped electric power plant composed by Electric speed controllers, brushless DC motors and fixpitched propellers, a modeling method combined deduction with identification is studied Firstly, in consideration of typical flight modes, the dynamic model of electric power was deduced based on component characteristics, and the model shows a nonlinear differential formula with a linear term and a nonlinear term Secondly, an identification method is given To avoid the aerodynamical nonlinear term, the propeller was replaced by a specialized discshaped coder with equivalent inertial moment, and the linear parameters were identified directly through output response Afterwards, the nonlinear parameter was identified by static inand output signals Finally the method of dynamic modeling is proved to be effective on a ground test unit…”

Dietary feeding techniques for body weight control in horses with equine metabolic syndrome by Sharaskina O.G.

“…The presence of equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) in horses is a serious problem for weight control. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of various feeding methods for sport horses with EMS and to determine the optimal energy level in the diet for weight control, the results of using three diet options were analyzed in horses with excess (n = 4) and normal body condition score (n = 1) and confirmed EMS. …”

The state and prospects of TB control service in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic by O. B. Nechaeva

“…The negative effects of the pandemic are partially offset by a sharp reduction in contacts, an increase in lung computed tomography, regular supply of anti-tuberculosis and antiretroviral drugs purchased by the state budgets of different levels, improved patients’ adherence to treatment, and the expansion of hospital-replacing technologies in specialized medical organizations.Facilities, resources and personnel of medical TB control services make it possible to expand their functions to fulfill the goals and objectives of the RF Healthcare Development Strategy for the period up to 2025 for socially significant infectious diseases that pose a biological threat to the population (tuberculosis, HIV infections, and parenteral viral hepatitis).…”

RESEARCH ON SPEED AND PRESSURE CONTROL STRATEGY OF STABLE SWITCH ABOUT FOREPOLING EQUIPMENT by LUAN LiJun, ZHAO HuiMeng, XIE Miao, LIU ZhiXiang

“…Taking into account the operational principle of forepoling equipment,and as the target to improving support efficiency and reducing the disturbance on the roof in the process of supporting,a kind of speed and pressure composition control method was presented.The control method adopts the constant pump driven directly by servo motor to replace the traditional electro-hydraulic proportional valve,and the variable structure algorithm based on the fuzzy sliding mode was used as control strategy.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that,compared with the traditional speed and pressure control method,the control method presented in the paper can reduce concussion on the roof in the process of switching from speed control to pressure control,and can improve support efficiency.Research findings can provide a theoretical basis for the development and control strategy of forepoling equipment.…”
