TL;DR: This paper shows that the master-slave teleoperation system is stable under specific linear-matrix-inequality (LMI) conditions by choosing Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and can be used to compute the allowable maximal transmission delay.
Abstract: This paper addresses the stability-analysis problem for teleoperation systems with time delays. Compared with previous work, communication delays are assumed to be both time-varying and asymmetric, which is the case for network-based teleoperation systems. The stability analysis is performed for two classes of controllers: delayed position-error feedback and delayed torque feedback. By choosing Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we show that the master-slave teleoperation system is stable under specific linear-matrix-inequality (LMI) conditions. With the given controller-design parameters, the proposed stability criteria can be used to compute the allowable maximal transmission delay. Finally, both simulations and experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

TL;DR: The challenges relating to chronic contamination of small grains and maize with deoxynivalenol and related compounds, fumonisin and the use of ensiled cereals in cool dairy areas are reviewed.
Abstract: This paper reviews the challenges relating to chronic contamination of small grains and maize with deoxynivalenol and related compounds, fumonisin and the use of ensiled cereals in cool dairy areas. Uncertainties in the tolerable daily intakes for deoxynivalenol and fumonisin are discussed as they have the potential to affect current regulatory limits. In addition, climate change is resulting in more extreme rainfall and drought events which favour formation of deoxynivalenol and fumonisin, respectively. The development and refinement of models for predicting mycotoxin accumulation from weather data will become an essential tool for managing these events. Such models are also important for providing timely food aid to developing countries, which experience increased occurrence of acute toxicities, especially in children. Chronic contamination of silage in some areas with some Penicillium toxins deserves more attention in terms of their economic effects and possible implications for the purity of milk.

TL;DR: Adult functioning after childhood ADHD varies by domain and is generally worse when ADHD symptoms persist, so it is important to identify factors and interventions that promote better functional outcomes.
Abstract: Objective To compare educational, occupational, legal, emotional, substance use disorder, and sexual behavior outcomes in young adults with persistent and desistent attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and a local normative comparison group (LNCG) in the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (MTA). Method Data were collected 12, 14, and 16 years postbaseline (mean age 24.7 years at 16 years postbaseline) from 476 participants with ADHD diagnosed at age 7 to 9 years, and 241 age- and sex-matched classmates. Probands were subgrouped on persistence versus desistence of DSM-5 symptom count. Orthogonal comparisons contrasted ADHD versus LNCG and symptom-persistent (50%) versus symptom-desistent (50%) subgroups. Functional outcomes were measured with standardized and demographic instruments. Results Three patterns of functional outcomes emerged. Post−secondary education, times fired/quit a job, current income, receiving public assistance, and risky sexual behavior showed the most common pattern: the LNCG group fared best, symptom-persistent ADHD group worst, and symptom-desistent ADHD group between, with the largest effect sizes between LNCG and symptom-persistent ADHD. In the second pattern, seen with emotional outcomes (emotional lability, neuroticism, anxiety disorder, mood disorder) and substance use outcomes, the LNCG and symptom-desistent ADHD group did not differ, but both fared better than the symptom-persistent ADHD group. In the third pattern, noted with jail time (rare), alcohol use disorder (common), and number of jobs held, group differences were not significant. The ADHD group had 10 deaths compared to one death in the LNCG. Conclusion Adult functioning after childhood ADHD varies by domain and is generally worse when ADHD symptoms persist. It is important to identify factors and interventions that promote better functional outcomes.

TL;DR: Results, which repeat the findings of a previous study, strongly suggest that quality design principles such as the ones provided by P. Coad and E. Yourdon (1991) have a beneficial effect on the maintainability of object oriented designs.
Abstract: The paper presents a controlled experiment, focusing on the impact of applying quality design principles such as the ones provided by P. Coad and E. Yourdon (1991) on the maintainability of object oriented designs. Results, which repeat the findings of a previous study, strongly suggest that such design principles have a beneficial effect on the maintainability of object oriented designs. It is argued that object oriented designs are sensitive to poor design practices because the cognitive complexity introduced becomes increasingly unmanageable. However, as our ability to generalize these results is limited, they should be considered as preliminary, i.e., it is very likely that they can only be generalized to programmers with little object oriented training and programming experience. Such programmers can, however, be commonly found on maintenance projects. As well as additional research, external replications of this study are required to confirm the results and achieve confidence in these findings.

TL;DR: A very simple modification to PEG construction for irregular codes is proposed, which considerably improves the performance at high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios with no sacrifice in low-SNR performance.
Abstract: Progressive-edge-growth (PEG) algorithm is known to construct low-density parity-check codes at finite block lengths with very good performance. In this letter, we propose a very simple modification to PEG construction for irregular codes, which considerably improves the performance at high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios with no sacrifice in low-SNR performance.
