BackgroundA significant U-shaped association between sleep duration and several morbidity (obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disease) and mortality risks has been regularly reported.However, although the physiological pathways and risks associated with "too short sleep" (PurposeTo explore socio-demographic characteristics and comorbidities of "lo
Sweet sorghum (Sorghum saccharatum) silage, maize (Zea mays) silage, and sorghum and maize (1:1) silage were investigated.The silages were analysed for chemical composition, quality and aerobic stability.Dry matter was the lowest (20.88%) in sorghum silage and the highest (37.45%) in Womens Socks maize silage.In sorghum silage, the concentration of
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has the advantage of generating sound welds on materials that generally present low weldability by traditional fusion welding processes, such as 2xxx and 7xxx aluminum alloys.Force measurement in FSW provides significant information about the process, the machine requirements, the effect of selected ORG PUMPKIN parameter
The two-wheeled Womens Socks self-balancing robot (TWSBR) is based on the axletree and inverted pendulum.Its balancing problem requires a control action.To speed up the response of the robot and minimize the steady state error, in this article, a grey wolf optimizer (GWO) method is proposed for TWSBR control based on state space feedback control te
