Autonomous systems are able to make decisions and potentially take actions without direct human intervention, which requires some knowledge about the system and its environment as well as goal-oriented reasoning. In computer systems, one can derive such behavior from the concept of a rational agent with autonomy (“control over its own actions”), reactivity (“react to events from the environment”), proactivity (“act on its own initiative”), and sociality (“interact with other agents”) as fundamental properties \n[1]\n. Autonomous systems will undoubtedly pervade into our everyday lives, and we will find them in a variety of domains and applications including robotics, transportation, health care, communications, and entertainment to name a few. \nThe articles in this month’s special issue cover concepts and fundamentals, architectures and techniques, and applications and case studies in the exciting area of self-awareness in autonomous systems.

Knowledge of Earth's microbiomes capacity to degrade aromatic compounds is limited by the lack of precise tools for accurately targeting degrading genes and their associated taxa. Additionally, these estimates are hardly compared to in situ background concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly in oceanic waters. This knowledge is important for assessing the persistence of the widespread and abundant PAHs in the environment, and their interactions with microbes. Here, we present a new tool to identify aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase α-subunit (arhdA) gene sequences by combining profile-based search with phylogenetic placement in a reference phylogeny. We identified arhdA-harboring taxa in both the Genome Taxonomy Database and the Malaspina Vertical Profiles Gene Database, a gene catalog derived from metagenomes collected during the Malaspina expedition. We found that multiple ubiquitous taxa in tropical and temperate oceans harbor arhdA. The comparison of arhdA gene abundances in seawater metagenomes with the field PAH concentrations showed that higher abundances of arhdA gene copies per cell were negatively correlated with 2-4 ring PAHs, consistent with the known degradation of lighter PAHs. Gene abundances were significantly higher in the particle-associated fraction than in the free-living fraction, suggesting particulate matter as a relevant reservoir of PAH degraders. Finally, we show that PAHs modulate, with other environmental variables, the structure of oceanic microbial communities.

The research consists of the design and automation of a pneumatic injector, applying LabVIEW software through an integrated Arduino hardware module, programming through an interface, the pressure that guarantees the geometric quality in the models obtained. The final result shows a piece designed in mass fraction with 40% polypropylene resin (PP), 40% recycled polyethylene terephthalate in the form of scales (R-PET) and 20% from cocoa pod husks ash (CPHA). Likewise, the platform allows to define and control the conditions of generation of the product, defining a pattern according to the type and the mass proportion between the resin of PP, R-PET and CPHA. In addition, the design of the mechanical and thermal elements, consisting of the piston and the system of clamp-type resistors, the pneumatic injection means and the raw material feed gate, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the equipment.

In the present document, the Cepstrum transform and the analysis of principal components were used to differentiate amplitudes in the mechanical vibrations produced by unbalance and misalignment with respect to a reference group. This document requires three stages. It begins with levelling in order to establish the control group. The unbalancing was carried out with a known mass located in the two radial distances of the first and second flywheels. The misalignment was made by running the sliding supports back 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 degrees. In the second stage, Matlab algorithms were created for both cepsctrum and main component analysis. In the last stage the obtained data were analyzed identifying the differences that may exist in the analyzed records. The project focused on the use of Matlab to find differences at a frequency of 30 Hz. The results obtained made it possible to determine that it is possible to find differences with the proposed methodology.

A computing tool based on an intelligent algorithm generates new alternatives for an early crack detection on flat concrete slab in a surface testing. First, a system able to autonomously detect a surface crack, by means of a digital image processing system has been developed. This system carries on an effective selection of data by an algorism bound to a specialized MATLAB software that can assess in full detail the surface conditions of a concrete slab, and finding out any affected spot.

This research used a salt spray booth to generate accelerated corrosion in a copper conductor, AWG 12-gauge purity of 95.95%, this caliber used in residential electrical installations according RETIE Chapter 3 Article 20 and NTC 2050 338. Additionally, to provide an enabling stage of corrosion, type mouse tail splices were made. The amount of corrosion is measured by weight loss, and incidence of corrosion in transport was evaluated from two perspectives: difference active at the beginning and end of the test power, and the change in resistance of the specimen measured at different times of the experiment. The test piece was subjected to a flow of alternating current into a low voltage system, while corrosion occurred. Using two single-phase two-wire electronic meters, the rate of power supply circuit test was recorded, to check for changes in the energy carried from exposure to the corrosive environment wire. The data collected showed that exposure times of the samples in the salt spray chamber involvement was not very noticeable in the copper wire, highlighting small corrosion spots. Similarly, the energy no changes were observed to induce corrosion, however, the resistance of the wire showed a total change of up to 2.4 [milliohms].

In this research, the transient characteristics of a new type fuel metering system for aircraft turbofan engines using two types of pumps, a gear pump and a centrifugal pump, were studied by modelling and simulation. This new fuel metering system is capable of hydraulically unloading the operating state of each pump by the pump mode switching mechanism within the permissible range of the pump rotation speed and the fuel flow rate and it is possible to reduce the fuel temperature rise due to the pressure loss in the circuit in the operation region of the entire fuel system. In addition to this, by using a small centrifugal pump that can realize high discharge flow rate, it is possible to reduce weight compared to the conventional fuel system. However, when the pump mode is switched, unexpected fluctuation in the fuel flow rate can occur when a large change in the inlet pressure of the system occurs, the pressure control unit cannot follow the change, and the transient phenomenon cannot be suppressed. At this time, the pressure waveform generated at the time of changing the pump mode includes a high frequency component such that the pressure control unit, which plays a role of keeping the metering valve differential pressure constant, cannot follow up. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on the frequency of the pressure change waveform when the pump mode was changed and studied the model of the fuel system inlet pressure in the gear pump mode. Based on that model, we propose a method to reduce the frequency characteristics of the pressure change occurring at the time of pump mode change.

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely used measure of a core facet of the positive body image construct. However, extant research concerning measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across a large number of nations remains limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset - with data collected between 2020 and 2022 - to assess measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that full scalar invariance was upheld across all nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups, suggesting that the unidimensional BAS-2 model has widespread applicability. There were large differences across nations and languages in latent body appreciation, while differences across gender identities and age groups were negligible-to-small. Additionally, greater body appreciation was significantly associated with higher life satisfaction, being single (versus being married or in a committed relationship), and greater rurality (versus urbanicity). Across a subset of nations where nation-level data were available, greater body appreciation was also significantly associated with greater cultural distance from the United States and greater relative income inequality. These findings suggest that the BAS-2 likely captures a near-universal conceptualisation of the body appreciation construct, which should facilitate further cross-cultural research.
