A Novel Model-Free Intelligent Proportional-Integral Supertwisting Nonlinear Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Control of PMSM Speed Regulation System by Peng Gao, Xiaodong Lv, Huimin Ouyang, Lei Mei, Guangming Zhang

“…Moreover, the stability of the proposed hybrid MF-iPI-ST-NLFOSMC strategy is proved by the Lyapunov stability theorem and fractional-order theory. Finally, the simulations and comparison results verify that the hybrid MF-iPI-ST-NLFOSMC strategy proposed in this paper has better performance than the other model-free controllers in terms of the static characteristic, dynamic characteristic, and robustness.…”

Older adults do not consistently overestimate their action opportunities across different settings by Isabel Bauer, Milena S. Gölz, Lisa Finkel, Maddalena Blasizzo, Sarah E. M. Stoll, Jennifer Randerath

“…We examined older adults’ (n = 40) judgment tendencies in four different tasks by use of a detection theory approach. The tasks’ setting differed in their boundaries’ proximity to the actor with either proximal (e.g., judging one’s hand fit into an opening) or distal boundaries (e.g., judging the reachability of a distant object). …”

Exploring links between socio-ecological systems and psychological distress: a case study in rural Uganda by Thomas Pienkowski, Aidan Keane, Eugene Kinyanda, Birthe Loa Knizek, Caroline Asiimwe, Geoffrey Muhanguzi, E.J. Milner-Gulland

“…Poor mental health is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease but there is poor understanding of how it is influenced by people's interactions with ecological systems. In a theory-generating case study we asked how interactions with ecosystems were perceived to influence stressors associated with psychological distress in a rural setting in Uganda. …”

Deformation performance of aramid honeycomb core layer on partial layup structure outside plane by LU Zhengbin, SUN Wei, WEI Ning, LIU Lu, LI Qiong, LYU Xiulei

“…This article analyzes the out-of-plane local deformation performance of honeycombs using numerical methods by establishing a finite element quantitative analysis model，combining typical structural experimental verification methods，using full-body modeling and elastic mechanics plate bending theory. It explores the influence of key factors such as honeycomb thickness and external pressure on honeycomb deformation，and verifies the local surface fitting method of super-honeycomb deformation limits. …”
