Dynamic characteristics and stability criterion of rotary galloping gait with an articulated passive spine joint

Based on the simplified planar quadruped model with a passive spine joint, this paper focuses on studying the effect of the spine joint on the dynamic performance and the stability of the rotary galloping gait. The stable, periodic, and symmetric rotary galloping gait is achieved by the particle swarm optimization method without any parameter symmetry for leg motion and without any limitation for spine motion. By analyzing the symmetric pattern of the rotary galloping gait, the stability criterion is derived: the closer to zero is the pitching angle at peak time of the center of mass, the better is the stability of the galloping gait. Then, we study the effect of rear leg touchdown angle and spine stiffness on the stability. Moreover, the unstable rotary galloping gait can be stabilized by adjusting one or more of the touchdown angle, spine stiffness, and leg stiffness. Furthermore, the effect of the spine stiffness on the key kinematic and kinetic properties is also studied for different initial values and mechanical parameters. The presented stability criterion and the achieved dynamic performance analysis results will be instructive for the design and control of the quadruped robot.     

A hierarchical test methodology for systems on chip

We present a hierarchical test methodology for testing a SOC with heterogeneous cores, including the 1149.1-wrapped, P1500-wrapped, and BIST memory cores. We propose an 1149.1-based hierarchical test manager that also provides P1500 test control signals. This scheme includes a memory BIST interface, providing both serial and parallel access ports for BIST circuits. Our approach offers low area and pin overhead, and high flexibility     

The Use of Distinctive Monoclonal Antibodies in FMD VLP- and P1-Based Blocking ELISA for the Seromonitoring of Vaccinated Swine

The serum neutralization (SN) test has been regarded as the “gold standard” for seroconversion following foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccination, although a high-level biosafety laboratory is necessary. ELISA is one alternative, and its format is constantly being improved. For instance, standard polyclonal antisera have been replaced by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for catching and detecting antibodies, and inactive viruses have been replaced by virus-like particles (VLPs). To the best of current knowledge, however, no researchers have evaluated the performances of different MAbs as tracers. In previous studies, we successfully identified site 1 and site 2 MAbs Q10E and P11A. In this study, following the established screening platform, the VLPs of putative escape mutants from sites 1 to 5 were expressed and used to demonstrate that S11B is a site 3 MAb. Additionally, the vulnerability of VLPs prompted us to assess another diagnostic antigen: unprocessed polyprotein P1. Therefore, we established and evaluated the performance of blocking ELISA (bELISA) systems based on VLPs and P1, pairing them with Q10E, P11A, S11B, and the non-neutralizing TSG MAb as tracers. The results indicated that the VLP paired with S11B demonstrated the highest correlation with the SN titers (R² = 0.8071, n = 63). Excluding weakly positive serum samples (SN = 16–32, n = 14), the sensitivity and specificity were 95.65% and 96.15% (kappa = 0.92), respectively. Additionally, the P1 pairing with Q10E also demonstrated a high correlation (R² = 0.768). We also discovered that these four antibodies had steric effects on one another to varying degrees, despite recognizing distinct antigenic sites. This finding indicated that MAbs as tracers could not accurately detect specific antibodies, possibly because MAbs are bulky compared to a protomeric unit. However, our results still provide convincing support for the application of two pairs of bELISA systems: VLP:S11B-HRP and P1:Q10E-HRP.

Fine Mapping and Functional Analysis of Major Regulatory Genes of Soluble Solids Content in Wax Gourd (Benincasa hispida)

Soluble solids content (SSC) is an important quality trait of wax gourd, but reports about its regulatory genes are scarce. In this study, the SSC regulatory gene BhSSC2.1 in wax gourd was mined via quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping based on high-density genetic mapping containing 12 linkage groups (LG) and bulked segregant analysis (BSA)-seq. QTL mapping and BSA-seq revealed for the first time that the SSC QTL (107.658–108.176 cM) of wax gourd was on Chr2 (LG2). The interpretable phenotypic variation rate and maximum LOD were 16.033% and 6.454, respectively. The QTL interval contained 13 genes. Real-time fluorescence quantitative expression analysis, functional annotation, and sequence analysis suggested that Bch02G016960, named BhSSC2.1, was a candidate regulatory gene of the SSC in wax gourd. Functional annotation of this gene showed that it codes for a NADP-dependent malic enzyme. According to BhSSC2.1 sequence variation, an InDel marker was developed for molecular marker-assisted breeding of wax gourd. This study will lay the foundation for future studies regarding breeding and understanding genetic mechanisms of wax gourd.
