With increasingly severe energy supply and environmental pollution, Hub Motor Driven Vehicle (HMDV) have become the ideal configuration for future electric vehicles. The adverse effect caused by the significant increase in HMDV unsprung mass directly affects the vehicle ride comfort and handling stability, becomes a technical bottleneck for theoretical research and industrial development to be solved urgently. The HMDV adverse effect should be suppressed by the vehicle suspension system, which can be classified as vertical motion inertia instability caused by the increase of unsprung mass, but the lack of inertial elements in the conventional suspension “damping-spring” structure restricts the overall performance of the suspension. Therefore, the inertial suspension containing the inertial element “inerter” is utilized to effectively distribute the HMDV vertical motion inertia to suppress its adverse effects. First, the adverse effects of increased unsprung mass on vehicle ride comfort and road friendliness are studied. Then, the inertial suspension models of different structures are established and their impedance expressions are derived. Thirdly, the impact of the inertance in the inertial suspension on the suppression of the HMDV adverse effect is studied. Finally, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize the parameters of the inertial suspension to improve the performance of the suspension. The results show that the inertial suspension can reduce the RMS value of body acceleration and dynamic tire load. The RMS value of body acceleration and dynamic tire load of the L4 structure is reduced by 8.1% and 16.38% respectively. It shows that the inertial suspension can effectively suppress the HMDV vertical adverse effect, improve the HMDV ride comfort and road friendliness, and lay the foundation for the subsequent suppression research.

Abstract This paper presents a novel solution for the posture control and ride comfort between the proposed wheel-legged robot (four wheel-legged robot (FWLR)) and the unstructured terrain by means of an actively passively transformable suspension system. Unlike most traditional robots, each leg of FWLR is independent of each other with a spring-damping system (passive system) is connected in series with an actuator (active system), so the posture control and ride comfort in complex terrain can be realized by the combination between active and passive systems. To verify the performance of posture control in complex terrain, a prototype and complex terrain are established first, then a posture control model, algorithm, and controller considering the suspension system are proposed and verified by the comparison between co-simulation and experiment, the results showed that the pitch angle and roll angles in complex terrain can be controlled. To show the impact of the actively passively transformable suspension system on ride comfort (vibration isolation performance), different dynamic models with different degree-of–freedom (DOF) are established, the co-simulation results showed that the passive system and active posture control system can also effectively improve the ride comfort of FWLR in complex terrain. The research results of this paper have important reference significance and practical value for enriching and developing the mechanism design and theoretical research of wheel-legged robot and promoting the engineering application of all-terrain robot.

In this paper, a semi-active suspension system has been proposed to improve the ride comfort, and a 2 DOF vehicle system is designed to simulate the actions of vehicle suspension system. The purpose of a suspension system is to support the vehicle body and increase ride comfort. The aim of the work described in the paper was to illustrate the application of fuzzy logic technique to the control of a continuously damping automotive suspension system. The ride comfort is improved by means of the reduction of the body acceleration caused by the car body when road disturbances from smooth road and real road roughness. Based on MATLAB fuzzy control toolbox, fuzzy controller is designed. Simulation analysis of suspension system is preceded by using MATLAB/Simulink7.0. The result shows that this control can improve the body acceleration, suspension distortion etc.

This chapter discusses Article 40 of the Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement, which is the outcome of a proposal originally made by developing countries, which were concerned about the impact of strengthened intellectual property rights (IPRs) on the conditions of voluntary licenses. Article 40.1 recognizes that some licensing practices pertaining to intellectual property rights which restrain competition ‘may have adverse effects on trade and impede the transfer and dissemination of technology’. Meanwhile, unlike most provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, Article 40.2 does not contain specific obligations. It expressly allows countries to adopt measures to control or prevent certain practices or conditions relating to licensing agreements. Judgement of whether they should be controlled or prevented is based on three elements. Contractual practices or conditions should: be examined in each particular case; constitute an ‘abuse’ of intellectual property rights; and have an ‘adverse effect on competition in the relevant market’.

This paper examines a model to investigate the impact of a vibration isolation system on the planar (in-plane) dynamics of a motorcycle. While it is not very common, a vibration isolation system is used in some motorcycles to mitigate vibrations resulting from the shaking forces of the engine. For such layouts, the powertrain is assembled to the frame through the vibration isolation system that typically consists of two to four isolators. It is critical to comprehend the influence of the isolation system on the overall dynamic characteristics of the motorcycle due to the coupled dynamics of the rear suspension, the isolation system, and the rear unsprung mass. The influence of a vibration isolation system on the in-plane dynamics is analysed by using a relatively simple model that has been developed in this study. This model has been used to evaluate the influence of the isolation system on natural modes, transmissibility, and ride comfort. Results indicate that the use of a vibration isolation system couples the rear unsprung hop to the pitch motion of the powertrain with a slight increase in the corresponding natural frequency. Results indicate that the use of a vibration isolation system directly affects handling of the motorcycle. Furthermore, results indicate that the pitch of the sprung mass and the hop of the rear unsprung mass are particularly influenced by the vibration isolation system. The model presented in this paper could be useful in the early stages of the design process to compare the rigidly mounted powertrain to different layouts of the vibration isolation system.

Simulation study of the quarter car model was carried out in this paper. The influence of the stiffness of the suspension spring and the damping on the performance of vehicle suspension system was analyzed by the evaluation indexes: transfer function of body acceleration, transfer function of suspension dynamic stroke, transfer function of tire dynamic deflection. The simulation results shown that increasing the stiffness of the suspension spring would reduce the vehicle's ride comfort and increase the value of the first natural frequency of the sprung mass. And increasing the damping would reduce the peak response of the body acceleration which increasing the vehicle's ride comfort, but at the cost of increasing the high frequency vibration.

Drought stress is considered a severe threat to crop production. It adversely affects the morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular functions of the plants, especially in short duration crops like mungbean. In the past few decades, significant progress has been made towards enhancing climate resilience in legumes through classical and next-generation breeding coupled with omics approaches. Various defence mechanisms have been reported as key players in crop adaptation to drought stress. Many researchers have identified potential donors, QTLs/genes and candidate genes associated to drought tolerance-related traits. However, cloning and exploitation of these loci/gene(s) in breeding programmes are still limited. To bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical breeding, we need to reveal the omics-assisted genetic variations associated with drought tolerance in mungbean to tackle this stress. Furthermore, the use of wild relatives in breeding programmes for drought tolerance is also limited and needs to be focused. Even after six years of decoding the whole genome sequence of mungbean, the genome-wide characterization and expression of various gene families and transcriptional factors are still lacking. Due to the complex nature of drought tolerance, it also requires integrating high throughput multi-omics approaches to increase breeding efficiency and genomic selection for rapid genetic gains to develop drought-tolerant mungbean cultivars. This review highlights the impact of drought stress on mungbean and mitigation strategies for breeding high-yielding drought-tolerant mungbean varieties through classical and modern omics technologies.

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune disease. Older patients treated with biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) are at a significantly greater risk of adverse effects (AEs) [1]. However, the rate of drug discontinuation because of adverse effects caused by bDMARDs has not differed in elderly compared to younger patients in different registries.Objectives:Determine if drug discontinuation of bDMARDs differs by age in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the Mexican Adverse Events Registry (BIOBADAMEX).Methods:BIOBADAMEX is a Mexican ongoing cohort of patients using bDMARDs since 2016. In this analysis we included all patients with diagnosis of RA with at least two assessments. Survival on bDMARDs was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Predictors of discontinuation, including age older than median age in the sample were investigated by Cox regression analyses.Results:Among 743 patients in the registry, 497 had RA diagnosis, from which, 214 had at least two assessments. At baseline, patients had a median (IQR) age of 53.4 (45-61) years old, median disease duration of 10.7 (6-17) months and median DAS28 of 4.7 (3-6). Conventional DMARDS were used by 185 (87%) patients and 94 (44%) patients used corticosteroids. Comorbidities were present in 194 (91%). The most common bDMARDs received at baseline were abatacept 59 (27%), tocilizumab 45(21%), adalimumab 31 (15%) and certolizumab 30 (14%). At the time of analysis, the median bDMARDs treatment duration was 21.0(13-34) months, 128 (59%) had discontinued treatment, 66 for inefficacy, 32 for adverse events and 30 for others. Fig 1 shows discontinuation rate curves in patients younger and older than median age. Cox proportional-hazards demonstrated no significant differences regarding age older than median age (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.8-1.4, p=0.7), female sex (HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.7-1.9, p=0.44), use of corticosteroids (HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.9-1.6, p=0.20), comorbidities (HR 0.9, 95% 0.6-1.5, p=0.78), DAS28 (HR 0.9, 95% 0.9-1.1, p=0.93) or other factors.Figure 1.Discontinuation rate curves in patients younger and older than median age (< 53.4 and >=53.4 years old)Conclusion:This analysis did not show a role of age on discontinuation of bDMARDs in Mexican RA patients. Further longitudinal analyses will be performed including more patients to assess retention rate of bDMARDs and identify predictive variables of discontinuation in Mexican population.References:[1]Akter R, et al.
