Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Air-Breathing Hypersonic Vehicles Based on Prescribed Performance Function by Chenyang Xu, Humin Lei, Na Lu

“…Unlike the traditional prescribed performance control (PPC), which requires accurate initial tracking errors, by designing a new performance function that does not depend on the initial tracking error and can ensure the small overshoot convergence of the tracking error, the error convergence process can meet the desired dynamic and steady-state performance. …”

Small open reading frame-encoded microproteins in cancer: identification, biological functions and clinical significance by Tingting Zhang, Zhang Li, Jiao Li, Yong Peng

“…Abstract The human genome harbors approximately twenty thousand protein-coding genes, and a significant portion of life science research focuses on elucidating their functions and the underlying mechanisms. Recent studies have revealed that small open reading frame (sORF), originating from non-coding RNAs or the 5’ leader sequences of messenger RNAs, can be translated into small peptides called microproteins through cap-dependent or cap-independent mechanisms. …”
