This paper explores the flight of small fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in a non-steady environment. The vulnerability of light airplanes to wind is analyzed and the effect of such perturbations on airplane performance is incorporated in the equations of motion. A straightforward wind computation approach, which relies on the difference between the predicted motion of the aircraft and the real motion measured by sensors, is presented in order to be used for a path following application. The analysis takes into account the effect of the noise in sensors measurements and in estimates of orientation and airspeed components. One approach to reducing noise in wind estimates is proposed based on on-line adaptation techniques. Parameter estimation with minimum-order design is obtained using tuning functions. Simulations are carried out representing real flight scenarios in which the wind field is not constant and the sensor measurements are imperfect.

In our previous study, we introduced a combination methodology of Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), which is powerful to investigate the effect of intracellular environment to biochemical reaction processes. Now, we developed a reconstruction method of realistic simulation spaces based on our TEM images. Interactive raytracing visualization of this space allows the perception of the overall 3D structure, which is not directly accessible from 2D TEM images. Simulation results show that the diffusion in such generated structures strongly depends on image post-processing. Frayed structures corresponding to noisy images hinder the diffusion much stronger than smooth surfaces from denoised images. This means that the correct identification of noise or structure is significant to reconstruct appropriate reaction environment in silico in order to estimate realistic behaviors of reactants in vivo. Static structures lead to anomalous diffusion due to the partial confinement. In contrast, mobile crowding agents do not lead to anomalous diffusion at moderate crowding levels. By varying the mobility of these non-reactive obstacles (NRO), we estimated the relationship between NRO diffusion coefficient (D-nro) and the anomaly in the tracer diffusion (alpha). For D-nro = 21.96 to 44.49 mu m(2)/s, the simulation results match the anomaly obtained from FCS measurements. This range of the diffusion coefficient from simulations is compatible with the range of the diffusion coefficient of structural proteins in the cytoplasm. In addition, we investigated the relationship between the radius of NRO and anomalous diffusion coefficient of tracers by the comparison between different simulations. The radius of NRO has to be 58nm when the polymer moves with the same diffusion speed as a reactant, which is close to the radius of functional protein complexes in a cell.

Main idea of this study was to increase efficiency of the EASI ECG method introduced by Dover in 1988 using various regression techniques. EASI was proven to have high correlation with standard 12 lead ECG. Apart from that it is less susceptible to artefacts, increase mobility of patients and is easier to use because of smaller number of electrodes. Multilayer Perceptron (Artificial Neural Network), Support Vector Machines, Linear Regression, Pace Regression and Least Median of Squares Regression methods were used to improve the quality of the 12-lead electrocardiogram derived from four (EASI) electrodes.
