TL;DR: The authors present a robust speed control of an induction motor using a load torque observer and feedforward control, which shows the robustness of the control system against the disturbance torque and the variation of motor and mechanical parameters.
Abstract: The authors present a robust speed control of an induction motor (IM) using a load torque observer and feedforward control. The speed response characteristics using a conventional PI (proportional plus integral) controller are affected by variations of system parameters. With the proposed system, the load torque disturbance and the effects of motor and mechanical parameter variations can be removed. The entire control processing was performed by the software of a digital signal processor within a reasonable period, and experimental results showed the robustness of the control system against the disturbance torque and the variation of motor and mechanical parameters. >

TL;DR: A zebrafish model is used to show that the microRNA, miR-21, is crucial for regulation of heart valve formation and is a central component of a flow-controlled mechanotransduction system in a physicogenetic regulatory loop.
Abstract: Heartbeat is required for normal development of the heart, and perturbation of intracardiac flow leads to morphological defects resembling congenital heart diseases. These observations implicate intracardiac haemodynamics in cardiogenesis, but the signalling cascades connecting physical forces, gene expression and morphogenesis are largely unknown. Here we use a zebrafish model to show that the microRNA, miR-21, is crucial for regulation of heart valve formation. Expression of miR-21 is rapidly switched on and off by blood flow. Vasoconstriction and increasing shear stress induce ectopic expression of miR-21 in the head vasculature and heart. Flow-dependent expression of mir-21 governs valvulogenesis by regulating the expression of the same targets as mouse/human miR-21 (sprouty, pdcd4, ptenb) and induces cell proliferation in the valve-forming endocardium at constrictions in the heart tube where shear stress is highest. We conclude that miR-21 is a central component of a flow-controlled mechanotransduction system in a physicogenetic regulatory loop.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical reactions in the hardening of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block were investigated using ground quartz of different particle sizes, and the results indicated that the utilization of finer quartz has the advantage of reducing the processing time.
