In this paper, a novel second order sliding mode control approach is extended to
a class of complex interconnected systems with mismatched interconnections and unknown perturbations. The key contribution of this paper is to cancel two common restrictions clogging the application of the variable structure control to complex interconnected systems: 1) all of state variables must be accessible; 2) the control input is affected by chattering problems. First, a novel reduced-order sliding mode estimator (ROSME) is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable variables. Second, based on Moore-Penrose inverse technique and ROSME tool, a new decentralized chattering-free second order robustness sliding mode controller (CSORSMC) is developed to force the system states to stay in a sliding surface from the initial period instance and attenuate the chattering phenomenon in the control signal. Besides, a novel appropriate linear matrix inequality (LMI) requirement is proved such that the plant in sliding mode is asymptotically stable. Lastly, a mathematical model including two subsystems is simulated which confirms the usefulness and advantages of proposed technique.
Immune checkpoint proteins, including CTLA-4 and PD-1, have emerged as promising targets for cancer immunotherapy due to their vital role in immune regulation. In this comprehensive study, we conducted a thorough analysis of antibody-protein interactions by employing structural analysis, mutational studies, and antibody-antigen docking simulations. Our findings revealed that antibodies 1 and 2 exhibited strong binding affinities towards CTLA-4 and PD-1 proteins, respectively. Further analysis through alanine scanning identified specific residues, namely Tyr91 on antibody 1, along with Asn31 and Asp96 on antibody 2, as potential mutation sites. Introducing these mutations resulted in the generation of two novel antibodies, 1a, 2a and 2b, which displayed enhanced binding affinity towards their respective target proteins. With their improved binding capabilities, these novel antibodies hold tremendous promise for enhancing the effectiveness of antibody-based therapies designed to target immune checkpoints in cancer treatment. The ultimate objective is to significantly improve the health outcomes of patients by leveraging the potential of these novel antibodies.
This paper explores a free vibration analysis of functionally graded triply periodic minimal surface plates using a first order shear deformation theory in conjunction with moving Kriging meshfree method. The FG-TPMS plates are modeled the same as porous structures with three different patterns (Primitive, Gyroid, and wrapped package-graph) and six different volume distributions for each pattern. Employing a fitting method based on a two-phase piece-wise function, the mechanical properties of the FGTPMS plates are determined. The governing equations for the FG-TPMS plates are established using the virtual work principle and subsequently solved using the moving Kriging meshfree method. The study encompasses FG-TPMS square and circular plate, examining the natural frequency of the FG-TPMS plates with various length-to-thickness ratios, TPMS types, volume distributions, and boundary conditions.
This paper follows our previous research in which we made a basic experiment to find out if it is possible to detect malware by multiple PE header detection. The previous results show us that there is a considerable amount of malwares that connect themselves to another file. This paper summarizes our previous results, updates the results and also expands them by adding an optimization method and also by including the scan of another (specific) types of data.

Modal kinetic energy (MKE) feature has been mostly employed for optimal sensor layout strategies; nevertheless, little attention is paid to use the feature to the field of structural damage detection. The article presents the extensive applicability of MKE change ratio (MKECR), a good damage sensitive parameter, to damage localization and quantification of laminated composite beams. The formulation of the parameter is based on the closed-form of element MKE sensitivity. The performance of the offered damage detection method is numerically verified by a clamped-clamped composite beam and a two-span continuous composite beam with different hypothetical damage scenarios. The influence of incomplete mode shapes, various noise levels as well as damage magnitudes on damage prediction results are also investigated. The obtained results from these numerical examples indicate that the offered method reliably localize the actually damaged elements and approximately estimate their severities, even under incomplete measurements at a high noise level.

Tax consulting service is one of various professional consulting services and is interested to study by many researchers. Nevertheless, this issue has not been interested to research in Vietnam. This paper performs confirmatory factors analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify the factors influencing the intentions of using tax consulting services of firms in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Specifically, this paper finds that the intentions depend on the “attitude toward the behavior” and “replacement”. In addition, through Chi-square test, it can be proven that the intentions also depend on type of firms and whether they have ever used tax consulting service or not. Based on the obtained results, the discussion and recommendation are also proposed.

Comparing graph databases with traditional,e.g., relational databases, some important database features are often missing there. Particularly, a graph database schema including integrity constraints is mostly not explicitly defined, also a conceptual modelling is not used. It is hard to check a consistency of the graph database, because almost no integrity constraints are defined or only their very simple representatives can be specified. In the paper, we discuss these issues and present current possibilities and challenges in graph database modelling. We focus also on integrity constraints modelling and propose functional dependencies between entity types, which reminds modelling functional dependencies known from relational databases. We show a number of examples of often cited GDBMSs and their approach to database schemas and ICs specification. Also a conceptual level of a graph database design is considered. We propose a sufficient conceptual model based on a binary variant of the ER model and show its relationship to a graph database model, i.e. a mapping conceptual schemas to database schemas. An alternative based on the conceptual functions called attributes is presented.

III-nitride nanowire-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been intensively studied as promising candidates for future lighting technologies. Compared to conventional GaN-based planar LEDs, III-nitride nanowire LEDs exhibit numerous advantages including greatly reduced dislocation densities, polarization fields, and quantum-conned Stark effect due to the effective lateral stress relaxation, promising high-efficiency full-color LEDs. Beside these advantages, however, several issues have been identified as the limiting factors for further enhancing the nanowire LED quantum efficiency and light output power. Some of the most probable causes have been identified as due to the lack of carrier confinement in the active region, non-uniform carrier distribution, electron overflow, and the nonradiative recombination along the nanowire lateral surfaces. Moreover, the presence of large surface states and defects contribute significantly to the carrier loss in nanowire LEDs. Consequently, reported nanowire LEDs show relatively low output power. Recently, III-nitride core-shell nanowire LED structures have been reported as the most efficient nanowire white LEDs with a record-high output power which is more than 500 times stronger than that of nanowire white LEDs without using core-shell structure. In this context, we will review the current status, challenges, and approaches for the high-performance IIInitride nanowire LEDs. More specifically, we will describe the current methods for the fabrication of nanowire structures including top-down and bottom-up approaches, followed by characteristics of III-nitride nanowire LEDs. We will then discuss the carrier dynamics and loss mechanism in nanowire LEDs. The typical designs for the enhanced performance of III-nitride nanowire LEDs will be presented next. The color-tunable nanowire LEDs with emission wavelengths in the visible spectrum and phosphor-free nanowire white LEDs will be finally discussed.

In this paper, hidden bifurcation routes to multiscroll chaotic attractors generated by saturated function series are explored. The method to nd such hidden bifurcation routes (HBR) depending upon two parameters is similar to the method introduced by Menacer, et al. (2016) for Chua multiscroll attractors. These HBR are characterized by the maximal range extension (MARE) of their attractors and coding the appearance order of the scrolls under the control of the two parameters. Moreover, these HDR have interesting symmetries with respect to the two parameters. The novelty that this article introduces, is firstly the paradigm of MARE and the formula giving their approximate value depending upon parameters p and q, which is linked to the size of the scrolls; secondly the coding of the HBR which is dened for the first time including the basic cell; and thirdly unearthing the symmetries of these routes, allowing to obtain their coding without any numerical computation.
