TL;DR: The road map of a distributed modeling framework for plant-wide process monitoring is introduced, based on which the whole plant- wide process is decomposed into different blocks, and statistical data models are constructed in those blocks.
Abstract: With the growing complexity of the modern industrial process, monitoring large-scale plant-wide processes has become quite popular. Unlike traditional processes, the measured data in the plant-wide process pose great challenges to information capture, data management, and storage. More importantly, it is difficult to efficiently interpret the information hidden within those data. In this paper, the road map of a distributed modeling framework for plant-wide process monitoring is introduced. Based on this framework, the whole plant-wide process is decomposed into different blocks, and statistical data models are constructed in those blocks. For online monitoring, the results obtained from different blocks are integrated through the decision fusion algorithm. A detailed case study is carried out for performance evaluation of the plant-wide monitoring method. Research challenges and perspectives are discussed and highlighted for future work.

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy neural network (FNN) position controller is proposed to control the ultrasonic motor (USM) servo drive, which is trained online using the proposed delta adaptation law.
Abstract: A fuzzy neural network (FNN) position controller is proposed to control the ultrasonic motor (USM) servo drive. The FNN controller is trained online using the proposed delta adaptation law. Moreover, a new driving circuit for the travelling-wave type ultrasonic motor (USM), which is a push-pull DC-DC power converter and a two-phase series-resonant inverter combination, is presented. First, the network structure, the online learning algorithm and the proof of convergence of the learning algorithm of the FNN are described. Next, the operating principles of the proposed driving circuit for the USM are described in detail. Then, the FNN position controller is implemented to control the USM drive to reduce the influence of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed driving circuit and FNN controller is demonstrated by some experimental results.

TL;DR: Early social-communicative difficulties in autism involve early triadic communications involving joint attention and possibly dyadic turn-taking skills, which has implications for both early screening and early intervention.
Abstract: Objective The study was to examine nonverbal communication in young children with autism. Methods The participants were 23 young children with autism (mean CA = 32.79 months), 23 CA and MA-matched children with developmental delay and 22 18–20-month-old, and 22 13–15-month-old typically developing toddlers and infants. The abbreviated Early Social Communication Scales [Mundy et al. 1996, Early social communication scales (ESCS)] were used to test three types of nonverbal communicative skills, i.e., joint attention, requesting, and social interaction. Both frequency and proportion analyses were done in group comparisons. Results (1) Two- to three-year-old children with autism displayed deficits in joint attention ability, especially high-level skills. (2) The deficit in terms of frequency of communication was marked even compared with typically developing infants with younger mental age. (3) Young children with autism had different nonverbal communication profile compared with all three comparison groups. Conclusion Early social-communicative difficulties in autism involve early triadic communications involving joint attention and possibly dyadic turn-taking skills, which has implications for both early screening and early intervention.

TL;DR: It was found that PVDF membranes grafted with brush-like PEGylated layers presented higher hydration capability with binding water molecules than with network-likePEGylation layers to improve the hemocompatible character of plasma protein and blood platelet resistance in human blood.
Abstract: In this work, the hemocompatibility of PEGylated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) microporous membranes with varying grafting coverage and structures via plasma-induced surface PEGylation was studied. Network-like and brush-like PEGylated layers on PVDF membrane surfaces were achieved by low-pressure and atmospheric plasma treatment. The chemical composition, physical morphology, grafting structure, surface hydrophilicity, and hydration capability of prepared membranes were determined to illustrate the correlations between grafting qualities and hemocompatibility of PEGylated PVDF membranes in contact with human blood. Plasma protein adsorption onto different PEGylated PVDF membranes from single-protein solutions and the complex medium of 100% human plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with monoclonal antibodies. Hemocompatibility of the PEGylated membranes was evaluated by the antifouling property of platelet adhesion observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the anticoagulant activity of the blood coagulant determined by testing plasma-clotting time. The control of grafting structures of PEGylated layers highly regulates the PVDF membrane to resist the adsorption of plasma proteins, the adhesion of platelets, and the coagulation of human plasma. It was found that PVDF membranes grafted with brush-like PEGylated layers presented higher hydration capability with binding water molecules than with network-like PEGylated layers to improve the hemocompatible character of plasma protein and blood platelet resistance in human blood. This work suggests that the hemocompatible nature of grafted PEGylated polymers by controlling grafting structures gives them great potential in the molecular design of antithrombogenic membranes for use in human blood.
