A New Open Loop Approach for Identifying the Initial Rotor Position of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor by Qixin Zhu, Lei Xiong, Hongli Liu, Yonghong Zhu, Guoping Zhang

“…This work describes a new open loop approach for identifying the initial position of a PMSM with an incremental encoder, even when a constant load torque is being applied. By giving a testing current with high frequency to the stator winding, the initial rotor position of a PMSM can be detected with reasonable accuracy. …”

Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on postoperative sleep disturbance in older patients undergoing lower limb major arthroplasty: a prospective, double-blind, pilot,... by Chunyan Li, Jie Yang, He Liu, Wen Tan, Song Zhang, Hongxing Zhang, Yuan Han, Mingshu Tao, Rongguang Liu, Jiaxing Fang, Dexian Chen, Qi Wei, Xingyu Xiong, Wenxin Zhao, Junli Cao

“…The primary outcomes were the objective sleep measures on postoperative nights (N) 1 and N2.Results 116 inpatients were assessed for eligibility, and a total of 92 patients were enrolled; 47 received a-tDCS and 45 received s-tDCS. tDCS improved PSD by altering the following sleep measures in the a-tDCS and s-tDCS groups; the respective comparisons were as follows: the promotion of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time on N1 (64.5 (33.5–105.5) vs 19.0 (0.0, 45.0) min, F=20.10, p<0.001) and N2 (75.0 (36.0–120.8) vs 30.0 (1.3–59.3) min, F=12.55, p<0.001); the total sleep time on N1 (506.0 (408.0–561.0) vs 392.0 (243.0–483.5) min, F=14.13, p<0.001) and N2 (488.5 (455.5–548.5) vs 346.0 (286.5–517.5) min, F=7.36, p=0.007); the deep sleep time on N1 (130.0 (103.3–177.0) vs 42.5 (9.8–100.8) min, F=24.4, p<0.001) and N2 (103.5 (46.0–154.8) vs 57.5 (23.3–106.5) min, F=8.4, p=0.004); and the percentages of light sleep and REM sleep on N1 and N2 (p<0.05 for each). …”

Understanding pre-service teachers' intention to adopt and use artificial intelligence in Nigerian inclusive classrooms by Olufemi Timothy Adigun, Olufemi Timothy Adigun, Faisat Adeniran Tijani, Cynthy K. Haihambo, Simasiku Limbo Enock

“…IntroductionThis study applied the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to provide an understanding of the behavioral intentions of pre-service teachers in the adoption and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for educational engagement in the inclusive classroom.MethodsThe cross-sectional study collected data through a validated questionnaire from 411 pre-service teachers were analyzed with descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and simple percentage calculation, as well as inferential statistics which involved correlational analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).ResultsThe study established that effort expectancy had a positive and direct significant contribution to the perceived behavioral intention of pre-service teachers to adopt and use AI for inclusive education teaching. …”

Resistin Regulates Pituitary Lipid Metabolism and Inflammation In Vivo and In Vitro by F. Rodriguez-Pacheco, M. G. Novelle, M. J. Vazquez, E. Garcia-Escobar, F. Soriguer, G. Rojo-Martinez, E. García-Fuentes, M. M. Malagon, C. Dieguez

“…Here, by a combination of in vivo and in vitro experimental models, we demonstrated that central acute and chronic administration of resistin enhance mRNA levels of the lipid metabolic enzymes which participated on lipolysis and moreover inhibiting mRNA levels of the lipid metabolic enzymes involved in lipogenesis. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time that resistin has a regulatory role on lipid metabolism in the pituitary gland providing a novel insight in relation to the mechanism by which this adipokine can participate in the integrated control of lipid metabolism.…”
