We consider the quasispecies spectrum reconstruction problem in amplicon reads. The main contribution of this paper is several methods to reconstruct HCV quasispecies from simulated error-free amplicon reads. Our comparison with existing methods for quasispecies spectrum reconstruction both based on shotgun and amplicon reads show significant advantages of the proposed technique. In most of the cases, even low coverage allows to reconstruct majority of quasispecies and very accurately estimate their frequencies in the simulated samples. The source code for all implemented algorithms is available at https://***/nmancuso/bioa/.

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. The cerebellar controller is a modified MOSAIC model which adaptively controls the arm. We call this model ORF-MOSAIC (Organized by Receptive Fields MOdular Selection And Identification for control). The arm features a musculoskeletal model which is controlled through muscle activations by means of optimization techniques. With as few as 16 modules, we were able to control the arm in a workspace of 30×30 cm. The system was able to adapt to an external field as well as handling new objects despite delays. The discussion section suggests that there are similarities between the microzones in the cerebellum and the modules of this new model.
A wireless relay with multiple antennas is called a multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO) switch if it forms a one-to-one mapping from the inputs (uplinks) to the outputs (downlinks). This paper studies the case with...

The hybrid minimum principle (HMP) is extended to hybrid systems with autonomous (internally forced) switching on switching manifolds, controlled (externally forced) switching, jumps of the continuous state when switching, and time-varying functions for specifying the continuous and discrete dynamics. The formulation of the hybrid optimal control problem (HOCP) includes running, switching, and terminal costs. The HMP provides necessary optimality conditions for a solution of the HOCP and can be used as basis for developing numerical optimal control algorithms.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with motor symptoms, including tremor. The DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) involves electrode implantation into subcortical structures for long-term stimulation at frequencies greater than 100Hz. The mechanism by which chronic, electrical Deep Brain Stimulation with high frequency, suppresses tremor in Parkinson's disease is unknown, but might involve a gradual change in network properties controlling the generation of tremor. First, we performed linear and nonlinear analysis of the tremor signals to determine a set of parameters and rules for recognizing the behavior of the investigated patient and to characterize the typical responses for several forms of DBS. Second, we found patterns for homogeneous group for data reduction. We used Data Mining and Knowledge discovery techniques to reduce the number of data. Then, we found "clusters" the most well-known used and commonly partitioning methods used: K-means and K-medoids. To support such predictions, we develop a model of the tremor, to perform tests determining the DBS reducing the tremor or inducing tolerance and lesion if the stimulation is chronic.

In this paper we present the design, implementation and experimental validation of a FPGA based position servo controller for a DC motor with dry friction. VHDL and block diagram modules for trajectory generation, encoder signal decoding, PI controller and PWM control signal generation are described. The control system is implemented in the DE3 board of Terasic Technologies Inc using Quartus II environment of Altera Corporation. Servo system simulation was made using Simulink. The analytical non linear model for the anti-windup saturation on the integral control action, saturation on the actuator and dry friction is validated through experiments and simulations.

Nonlinear Correlation Coefficient (NCC) is proposed to quantitatively measure the nonlinear relation between the variables. Much attention paid on NCC leads to application being far from the basic research. In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework to systematically analyze the effects of statistical distribution on NCC. It is found that the arbitrary distortion on distribution leads to the decreasing of NCC and the sharing structure of the concerned distribution minimizes the NCC. Furthermore, considering the situation of a sequence of discrete observations, we provide a collection of rigorous logistic results to justify NCC is an increasing function of sequence length. The numerical examples on Lorenz and linear auto-regression system are used to illustrate proposed results suitably and effectively.
