A method of attitude estimation with a low-cost, strap-on MEMS sensor was proposed in the article.The method relies on dynamic gyroscope bias change estimation and updates during detected stops of the robot.The algorithm has been tested in laboratory with iRobot Roomba robot and should be improved to be useful in an industrial environment.The measu
IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THE ECUADOR SAVINGS AND CREDIT COOPERATIVES
In the Savings and Credit Cooperatives management is different from the traditional approach, its administration is complicated by the democratic participation of the partners in the government of it and in the decision making.This aspect generates a special agency relationship because the partners who are owners can be both professional managers a
Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium species causing mycobacteriosis in farmed aquatic animals of South Africa
Abstract Background Mycobacteriosis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is among the most chronic diseases of aquatic animals.In addition, fish mycobacteriosis has substantial economic consequences especially in the aquaculture and fisheries industry as infections may significantly decrease production and trade.Some fish NTM pathogens are
Mevalonate biosynthesis pathway regulates the development and survival of brown adipocytes
Summary: The high thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has received considerable attention.Here, we demonstrated the role of the mevalonate (MVA) biosynthesis pathway in the regulation of brown adipocyte development and survival.The inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in the MVA pat
