In this paper we investigate the problem of assignability of the so-called regularity coefficients and central exponents of discrete linear time-varying systems. The main result presents a possibility of assignability of Lyapunov, Perron, Grobman regularity coefficients and central exponents by a linear time-varying feedback under the assumptions of uniform complete controllability.

A multi-agent system designed to achieve distance-based shape control with flocking behavior can be seen as a mechanical system described by a Lagrangian function and subject to additional external forces. Forced variational integrators are given by the discretization of Lagrange-d’Alembert principle for systems subject to external forces, and have proved useful for numerical simulation studies of complex dynamical systems. We derive forced variational integrators that can be employed in the context of control algorithms for distance-based shape with velocity consensus. In particular, we provide an accurate numerical integrator with a lower computational cost than traditional solutions, while preserving the configuration space and symmetries. We also provide an explicit expression for the integration scheme in the case of an arbitrary number of agents with double integrator dynamics. For a numerical comparison of the performances, we use a planar formation consisting of three autonomous agents.

Over the years, industrial automation has repeatedly been impacted by the continuous and tremendous evolution in the fields of computer systems, electronics and data transmission. Industry 4.0, the current wave of the industrial revolution- dubbed the data revolution -, integrates these advances in communication and computational systems with the Internet, resulting in a paradigm shift towards the (Industrial) Internet of Things. Automation systems and remote data acquisition systems evolved over the last years from classic solutions based on wired infrastructure to modern, flexible solutions bringing together wireless communications, battery powered devices and wireless sensors networks. In this paper we first define the main problems encountered in modern wireless automation systems - small distance limitations of wireless communication solutions, weak security or complete lack of security in data transmission, and high energy consumption of battery powered remote data acquisition systems. In order to address these limitations, we propose, implement, trial-run and benchmark a novel low power LoRa-based flexible hardware architecture for use in industrial remote monitoring and control. We obtain a LoS capability above 3km and a calculated autonomy of about 10 years, exceeding the capabilities of current State of the Art solutions.
SCADA systems are the computers that control essential, complicated, and often dangerous physical processes, many of which constitute the physical infrastructure critical to modern societies. These physical processes ...

Bioprocesses with product inhibition are known to allow species coexistence. In this work, we first study the productivity of the different possible equilibria, depending on the operating conditions, and show that single species offers the best performances. Then, we propose a control strategy to stabilize the dynamics about the desired equilibria, in presence of instability. Based on output feedback linearization, we propose a family of controllers and a gain-scheduling approach to adapt the controller. Finally, we illustrate our approach on numerical simulations, showing that the attraction basin of the closed-loop system is improved by considering the gain-scheduling approach.

The paper presents a hybrid UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) - WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) based system with application in a specific field: the precision agriculture. The main goal is to collect data from WSN via aerial platform. We propose a multi-agent system architecture (multi-UAVs, multi WSNs) and a specific implementation for the ground Wireless Sensors Network. The communication inside WSN is based on LoRa transmission protocol. The solution is a cheap one and the simulation results give the perspective of a large-scale utilization in agriculture. The experimental results were done on a two UAVs-two WSNs configuration which can be controlled and programed at distance via internet.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic compound used in the production of numerous plastics, which poses a real threat to health and life. Although BPA is poorly soluble in water, its presence in marine and freshwater environments has been recorded at quite high levels. Numerous studies are being conducted on the impact of this xenobiotic on the population size, fertility, and reproduction of various animals. A freshwater shrimpNeocaridina davidi(Crustacea) originates from Asia and enjoys great interest among breeders and researchers studying the influence of various xenobiotics on the functioning of freshwater animals. Therefore, we selected this species to analyze the cytotoxicity of BPA and possible changes in cells leading to their protection. The study aimed to determine whether BPA only causes degenerative changes in the midgut epithelium of freshwater crustaceans or whether cell and tissue protection processes (e.g. stem cell proliferation) will be visible at the ultrastructural level. The most important goals were to establish whether the cytotoxicity of BPA is connected with its concentration and the period of animal exposure and whether it proceeds in the same manner in different organs. Thus, we used different concentrations of BPA, corresponding to its concentrations in different waters and different times of the animals’ breeding in a contaminated environment. Shrimps were exposed to three concentrations of BPA: 1, 5, and 10 mg/L for 24, 48, and 72 h. Two organs that form the midgut were isolated – the intestine and hepatopancreas. The results revealed that the concentration and exposure time of freshwater animals affect the functioning of stem cells. However, autophagy and lipid digestion play an important role in protecting cells against the effects of BPA, which is also related to the increased energy demand of cells. Further studies connected with cell death processes and antioxidative mechanisms are needed.
