Expansins play a pivotal role in plant adaptation to environmental stress via cell wall loosening. To evaluate the roles of expansin in response to different environmental stress conditions, the expansin gene PttEXPA8 from Populus tomentosa was transformed into tobacco. Analysis of physiological indices demonstrated the transgenic plants with improved resistance to heat, drought, salt, cold, and cadmium stress but to different extents. In mature plants, PttEXPA8 exerted the greatest effect on heat stress, with a response index value of 137.46%, followed by drought, cadmium, cold, and salt stress with response index values of 101.04%, 70.61%, 69.95%, and 54.68%, respectively. Over-expression of PttEXPA8 resulted in differential responses in physiological indices to the stresses. Soluble sugar content showed the highest response to the stresses, with an average response index value of 29.29%, whereas the absolute response index value for malondialdehyde content, relative electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll content, and superoxide dismutase activity ranged from 11.01% to 19.21%. The present results provide insight into the roles of expansin in stress resistance in Populus. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Jiaxing Liang, Aditya Rawal, Mengying Yu, Kefeng Xiao, Huabo Liu, Yu Jiang, Alison Lennon, Da-Wei Wang

Summary: We report electrochemically tuned layered polyaniline with solidified SEI nanochannels as a new type of low potential anode for high voltage pseudocapacitive intercalation LISCs (PI-LISCs). The tuned layered polyaniline achieved high volumetric capacity of 196 mAh cm-3 at 0.01 V vs. Li/Li+ and allowed the fabrication of a high voltage PI-LISC with a high energy density of 100.5 Wh L-1, a high power density of 13.7 kW L-1, and excellent capacity retention of 90.1% after 10,000 cycles. Our findings present a significant step forward in opening up new opportunities for high energy and high power PI-LISCs.

Yuanfei Sun, Jirong Wang, Huabo Liu

Summary: This paper investigates the dissipativity analysis of large-scale networked systems with linear time-invariant dynamics. A sufficient and necessary condition for the strict dissipativity analysis of the networked system is derived, taking advantage of the block-diagonal structure of the system parameter matrix and the sparseness characteristics of the subsystem interconnections. Numerical simulations show that the conditions suggested in this paper have higher computational efficiency compared to existing results in the dissipative analysis of large-scale networked systems.

Robust State Estimation for T-S Fuzzy Markov Jump Systems

Zhenglei Zhang, Jirong Wang, Junwei Gao, Huabo Liu

Summary: The problem of robust state estimation for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with Markov jump is investigated. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to represent the difficult-to-describe uncertain nonlinear system. A robust state estimator for linear subsystems is developed through a robust state estimation method based on sensitivity penalty, and the fuzzy robust state estimator is obtained by fuzzy rules. The stability and boundedness of the fuzzy robust state estimator are proved under assumption conditions to ensure reliability.

State Estimation of Discrete-Time T-S Fuzzy Systems Based on Robustness Ideas

Zhenglei Zhang, Yao Mao, Junwei Gao, Huabo Liu

Summary: In this paper, the state estimation problem of discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems with random parametric uncertainties and deterministic external inputs is investigated. A new approach is proposed to rearrange the structure of the T-S fuzzy model and approximate the nonlinear system more accurately using a set of linear uncertain models. A robust state estimation method based on sensitivity penalty is used to estimate the state of the linear uncertain systems, and the estimated subsystem is weighted and fused by the membership function to obtain the state of the discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems. The steady-state analysis and properties of the fuzzy state estimator are discussed, and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Event-Triggered Robust State Estimation for Nonlinear Networked Systems with Measurement Delays against DoS Attacks

Min Wang, Huabo Liu

Summary: In this paper, the event-triggered robust state estimation problems for nonlinear networked systems with constant measurement delays against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks are addressed. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) computation generates errors of linearization approximations, which can lead to increased state estimation errors and subsequently amplifies the linearization errors. DoS attacks overload the communication networks, interfering with the transmission of measurements to the remote robust state estimator, while the communication rate is constrained. To defend against DoS attacks and linearization errors, an event-triggered robust state estimation algorithm based on sensitivity penalization with an explicit packet arrival parameter is proposed. Additionally, a novel state augmentation method is devised to overcome the presence of measurement delays. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed robust state estimator significantly improves the accuracy of state estimation.

Event-Triggered Robust Fusion Estimation for Multi-Sensor Time-Delay Systems with Packet Drops

Xiaolei Du, Huabo Liu, Haisheng Yu

Summary: This paper investigates the robust fusion estimation problem for multi-sensor systems with communication constraints, parameter uncertainty, d-step state delays, and deterministic control inputs. The state augmentation method is utilized to transform a time-delay system into a non-time-delay one. An event-triggered transmission strategy has been adopted to effectively alleviate the communication burden from the sensor node to the fusion center. The fusion estimator handles packet drops arising from unreliable channels, and the corresponding pseudo-cross-covariance matrix is provided. Some conditions are given to ensure that the estimation error of the robust fusion estimator is uniformly bounded. Two sets of numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived fusion estimator.

Distributed Finite-Time Boundedness Control for Large-Scale Networked Dynamic Systems

Mengran Li, Yang Yu, Huabo Liu

Summary: In this paper, the finite-time boundedness problems for large-scale continuous-time networked dynamical systems with arbitrary interactions and different dynamics of subsystems are investigated. Sufficient conditions for the design of finite-time boundedness state feedback controller are derived, utilizing the block-diagonal structure of system parameter matrices and the sparseness of system topology. Conditions depending only on parameter matrices of individual subsystems are also provided. The distributed output feedback controller with finite-time boundedness is also designed and its conditions are derived. Numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the derived conditions for a large-scale networked system.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
