TL;DR: It is demonstrated that introducing pores smaller than the grain size further reduces constraints and markedly increases MFIS to 2.0-8.7%.
Abstract: The magnetic shape-memory alloy Ni-Mn-Ga shows, in monocrystalline form, a reversible magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS) up to 10%. This strain, which is produced by twin boundaries moving solely by internal stresses generated by magnetic anisotropy energy, can be used in actuators, sensors and energy-harvesting devices. Compared with monocrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga, fine-grained Ni-Mn-Ga is much easier to process but shows near-zero MFIS because twin boundary motion is inhibited by constraints imposed by grain boundaries. Recently, we showed that partial removal of these constraints, by introducing pores with sizes similar to grains, resulted in MFIS values of 0.12% in polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga foams, close to those of the best commercial magnetostrictive materials. Here, we demonstrate that introducing pores smaller than the grain size further reduces constraints and markedly increases MFIS to 2.0-8.7%. These strains, which remain stable over >200,000 cycles, are much larger than those of any polycrystalline, active material.

TL;DR: This article is concerned with the recursive finite-horizon filtering problem for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems subject to multiplicative noises, missing measurements and quantisation effects, and the design of a recursive filter such that an upper bound for the filtering error covariance is guaranteed and such anupper bound is subsequently minimised by properly designing the filter parameters at each sampling instant.
Abstract: This article is concerned with the recursive finite-horizon filtering problem for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems subject to multiplicative noises, missing measurements and quantisation effects. The missing measurements are modelled by a series of mutually independent random variables obeying Bernoulli distributions with possibly different occurrence probabilities. The quantisation phenomenon is described by using the logarithmic function and the multiplicative noises are considered to account for the stochastic disturbances on the system states. Attention is focused on the design of a recursive filter such that, for all multiplicative noises, missing measurements as well as quantisation effects, an upper bound for the filtering error covariance is guaranteed and such an upper bound is subsequently minimised by properly designing the filter parameters at each sampling instant. The desired filter parameters are obtained by solving two Riccati-like difference equations that are of a recursive form...

TL;DR: The crystal structure of autoinhibited NLR family member NLRC4 is reported, which reveals the domains that are critical for interaction with adenosine diphosphate to keepNLRC4 in its inactive state and the domain that mediate oligomerization of the protein upon activation.
Abstract: Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) proteins oligomerize into multiprotein complexes termed inflammasomes when activated. Their autoinhibition mechanism remains poorly defined. Here, we report the crystal structure of mouse NLRC4 in a closed form. The adenosine diphosphate-mediated interaction between the central nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and the winged-helix domain (WHD) was critical for stabilizing the closed conformation of NLRC4. The helical domain HD2 repressively contacted a conserved and functionally important α-helix of the NBD. The C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain is positioned to sterically occlude one side of the NBD domain and consequently sequester NLRC4 in a monomeric state. Disruption of ADP-mediated NBD-WHD or NBD-HD2/NBD-LRR interactions resulted in constitutive activation of NLRC4. Together, our data reveal the NBD-organized cooperative autoinhibition mechanism of NLRC4 and provide insight into its activation.
