A GAIN-SCHEDULING CONTROL STRATEGY AND SHORT-TERM PATH OPTIMIZATION WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION OF A SAILBOAT ROBOT

A gain-scheduling control strategy and short-term path optimization with genetic algorithm for autonomous navigation of a sailboat robot

The development of a navigation system for autonomous robotic sailing is a particularly challenging task since the sailboat robot uses unpredictable wind forces for License plate its propulsion besides working in a highly nonlinear and harsh environment, the water.Toward solving the problems that appear in this kind of environment, we propose a nav

Rewiring of Gene Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa During Diauxic Growth Reveals an Indirect Regulation of the MexGHI-OpmD Efflux Pump by Hfq

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the RNA chaperone Hfq and the catabolite repression protein Crc act in concert to regulate numerous genes during carbon catabolite repression (CCR).After alleviation of CCR, the RNA CrcZ sequesters Hfq/Crc, which leads to a rewiring of gene expression to ensure the consumption of less preferred carbon and nitrogen sources
