In this paper, a sliding mode control with adaptive gain combined with a high-order sliding mode observer to solve the tracking problem for a quadrotor UAV is addressed, in presence of bounded external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. The high order sliding mode observer is designed for estimating the linear and angular speed in order to implement the proposed scheme. Furthermore, a Lyapunov function is introduced to design the controller with the adaptation law, whereas an analysis of finite time convergence towards to zero is provided, where sufficient conditions are obtained. Regarding previous works from literature, one important advantage of proposed strategy is that the gains of control are parameterized in terms of only one adaptive parameter, which reduces the control effort by avoiding gain overestimation. Numerical simulations for tracking control of the quadrotor are given to show the performance of proposed adaptive control–observer scheme.

Homeostasis of monoaminergic pathways is compromised in aging and neurodegenerative/neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and depression. On the other hand, their modulation has also been linked to the mechanism of action of several drugs. Therefore, monitoring the levels of noradrenaline(NA), adrenaline(AD), dopamine(DA), and serotonin(5-HT), as well as those of tryptophan(TRYP), the precursor of 5-HT, and DA metabolites, namely 3,4-dihydroxyphenylaceticacid(DOPAC) and homovanillicacid(HVA), is fundamental for assessing disease severity and progression. This work aimed to develop and validate the first High-Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) coupled with fluorescence detector(FLD) method that simultaneously and accurately quantifies NA, AD, DA, DOPAC, HVA, 5-HT and TRYP in mouse brain and prefrontal cortex(PFC) matrices. Previous sample preparation by protein precipitation was required to extract the compounds. Calibration curves were plotted using the background subtraction approach to reduce the interference of the endogenous analytes. Intra and inter-day accuracy and precision were within the ranges defined by ICH(The International Council for Harmonisation) guideline for bioanalytical method validation. Following validation, the impact of cannabidiol(CBD), cannabigerol(CBG), and cannabidivarin(CBDV) was explored in mice brains post-administration,revealing significant alterations in specific neurotransmitter levels upon cannabinoid exposure and shedding light on the complex modulation of neurochemical dynamics by cannabinoids. This research highlights the fit-for-purpose of the HPLC-FLD method and provides insights into potential mechanisms underlying phytocannabinoid actions in the central nervous system(CNS).

Biodegradable nanoparticles such as chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) are used in sustainable agriculture since theyavoid damage to the environment;CSNPs have positive effects such as the accumulation of bioactive compoundsand increased productivity in plants. This study aimed to investigate the impact of applying CSNPs on lettuce,specifically focusing on enzymatic activity, bioactive compounds, and yield. The trial was conducted using a completelyrandomized design, incorporating CSNPs: 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg mL−1. The doses of 0.4 mg mL−1improve yields up to 24.6% increases and 0.1 mg mL−1 of CSNPs increases total phenols by 31.2% and antioxidantcapacity by 34.6%. In addition, when low concentrations of CSNPs (0.05 and 0.1 mg L−1) were applied, anincrease in catalase was determined. The CSNPs represent a good alternative to be used as a biostimulant in sustainableagriculture because they improve the yield and quality of lettuce by increasing the bioactive compounds.

In the case of reverse drag of normal faulting, the displacement and horizontal extension are determined based on the established equations for the three mechanisms: rigid body, vertical shear and inclined shear. There are three sub-cases of basal detachment for the rigid body model: horizontal detachment, antithetic detachment and synthetic detachment. For the rigid body model, the established equations indicate that the total displacement on the synthetic base (Dt2) is the largest, that on the horizontal base (Dt1) is moderate, and that on the antithetic base (Dt3) is the smallest. On the other hand, the value of (Dt1) is larger than the displacement for the vertical shear (Dt4). The value of (Dt1) is larger than or less than the displacement for the inclined shear (Dt5) depending on the original fault dip δ0, bedding angle θ, and the angle of shear direction β. For all original parameters, the value of Dt5 is less than the value of Dt4. Also, by comparing three rotation mechanisms, we find that the inclined shear produces largest extension, the rigid body model with horizontal detachment produces the smallest extension, and the vertical shear model produces moderate extension.
