    Abstract Controlling continuous-time dynamical systems is generally a two step process: first, identify or model the system dynamics with differential equations, then, minimize the control objectives to achieve optimal control function and optimal state trajectories. However, any inaccuracy in dynamics modeling will lead to sub-optimality in the resulting control function. To address this, we propose a neural ODE based method for controlling unknown dynamical systems, denoted as Neural Optimal Control (NOC), which combines dynamics identification and optimal control learning using a coupled neural ODE. Through an intriguing interplay between the two neural networks in coupled neural ODE structure, our model concurrently learns system dynamics as well as optimal controls that guides towards target states. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our model for learning optimal control of unknown dynamical systems.

    Abstract In order to improve the accuracy of predicting the remaining electrical life of AC circuit breakers, ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment, and reduce economic losses caused by equipment failures, this paper studies a method based on the Savitzky-Golay convolution smoothing long short-term memory neural network for predicting the electrical life of AC circuit breakers. First, a full lifespan test is conducted to obtain degradation data throughout the entire life cycle of the AC circuit breaker, from which feature parameters that effectively reflect its operational state are extracted. Next, principal component analysis and the maximum information coefficient are used to remove redundancy in the feature parameters and choose the best subset of features. Subsequently, the Savitzky-Golay convolutional smoothing algorithm is employed to smooth the feature sequence, reducing the impact of noise and outliers on the feature sequence while preserving its main trends. Then, a secondary feature extraction is performed on the smoothed feature subset to obtain the optimal secondary feature subset. Finally, the remaining electrical lifespan of the AC circuit breaker is treated as a long-term sequence problem and the long short-term memory neural network method is used for precise time-series forecasting. The proposed model outperforms backpropagation neural networks and the gate recurrent unit in terms of prediction precision, achieving an impressive 97.4% accuracy. This demonstrates the feasibility of using time-series forecasting for predicting the residual electrical lifespan of electrical equipment and provides a reference for optimizing the method of predicting remaining electrical life.

    Abstract Myocardial infarction causes the loss of cardiomyocytes and the formation of cardiac fibrosis due to the activation of cardiac fibroblasts, leading to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. Unfortunately, current therapeutic interventions can only slow the disease progression. Furthermore, they cannot fully restore cardiac function, likely because the adult human heart lacks sufficient capacity to regenerate cardiomyocytes. Therefore, intensive efforts have focused on developing therapeutics to regenerate the damaged heart. Several strategies have been intensively investigated, including stimulation of cardiomyocyte proliferation, transplantation of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, and conversion of fibroblasts into cardiac cells. Resident cardiac fibroblasts are critical in the maintenance of the structure and contractility of the heart. Fibroblast plasticity makes this type of cells be reprogrammed into many cell types, including but not limited to induced pluripotent stem cells, induced cardiac progenitor cells, and induced cardiomyocytes. Fibroblasts have become a therapeutic target due to their critical roles in cardiac pathogenesis. This review summarizes the reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, induced cardiac progenitor cells, and induced cardiomyocytes to repair a damaged heart, outlines recent findings in utilizing fibroblast-derived cells for heart regeneration, and discusses the limitations and challenges.

    Abstract Heart disease is a pressing public health problem and the leading cause of death worldwide. The heart is the first organ to gain function during embryogenesis in mammals. Heart development involves cell determination, expansion, migration, and crosstalk, which are orchestrated by numerous signaling pathways, such as the Wnt, TGF-β, IGF, and Retinoic acid signaling pathways. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-based platforms are emerging as promising approaches for modeling heart disease in vitro. Understanding the signaling pathways that are essential for cardiac development has shed light on the molecular mechanisms of congenital heart defects and postnatal heart diseases, significantly advancing stem cell-based platforms to model heart diseases. This review summarizes signaling pathways that are crucial for heart development and discusses how these findings improve the strategies for modeling human heart disease in vitro.

    Abstract Garment pattern-making is one of the most important parts of the apparel industry. However, traditional pattern-making is an experience-based work, very time-consuming and ignores the body shape difference. This paper proposes a parametric design method for garment pattern based on body dimensions acquired from a body scanner and body features (body feature points and three segmented body part shape classification) identified by designers according to their professional knowledge. By using this method, we construct a men's shirt pattern recommendation system oriented to personalised fit. The system consists of two databases and three models. The two databases include a relational database (Database I) and a personalised basic pattern (PBP) database (Database II). The Database I is based on manual and three-dimensional (3D) measurements of human bodies by using designer's knowledge. And Database I is a relational database, which is organised in terms of the relational model of the body part shape and its key body feature dimensions. After a deep analysis of measured data, the irrelevant measured dimensions to human body shape have been excluded by designers and extract representative human body feature dimensions. In addition, the relations between body shapes and previously identified body feature dimensions have been modelled. From the above relational model, we label key feature point positions on the corresponding 3D body model obtained from 3D body scanning and correct the whole 3D human upper body model into the semantically interpretable one. The 3D personalised basic pattern is drawn on the corrected model based on these key feature points. By using three-dimensional to two-dimensional (3D-to-2D) flattening technology, a 2D flatten graph of the 3D personalised basic pattern of the interpretable model is obtained and slightly adjusted to the form suitable for industrial production, i.e., PBP and the PBP database (Database II) is built. In addition, the three models include a basic pattern parametric model (Model I) (characterizing the relations between the basic pattern and its key influencing human dimensions (chest girth and back length)), a regression model (Model II) which enables to infer from basic pattern to PBP for three body parts based on the one-to-one correspondence of key points between the PBPs and the basic patterns and a personalised shirt pattern parametric model (Model III) (characterizing the structural relations between the personalised shirt pattern (PBPshirt) and PBP). The initial input items of the recommendation system are the body dimension constraint parameters, including chest girth, back length and the body feature dimensions used to determine each body part shape as well as three shirt style constraint parameters (slim, regular and loose). By using Model I, the corresponding basic pattern can be generated through the user's chest girth and back length. Body feature dimensions determine the three body parts' shapes. Then, Model II is used to generate the PBP for the corresponding body parts shape. Based on the shirt style chosen by the user, Mode III is used to generate the PBPshirt from the PBP. The output of the recommendation system is a fit-oriented PBPshirt. Moreover, if the PBPshirt is unsatisfactory after a virtual try-on, four adjustable parameters (front side-seam dart, back side-seam dart, waist dart and garment bodice length) are designed to adjust the PBPshirt generated by the proposed recommendation system.

    Abstract All health systems struggle with unlimited needs for healthcare, yet limited resources with which to address them. Under national health insurance systems, policymakers must make explicit and potentially contested decisions around resource allocation. Policymakers have recognized the need to include public values in decisions regarding the distribution of resources across competing health priorities. Given the complex nature of these decisions, however, research into how to effectively measure public preferences is underdeveloped. Measuring community values poses special challenges since they involve normative judgments that can be interpreted differently across individuals and communities. Researchers have previously proposed integrating two methods that are currently used for measuring public preferences around healthcare services: i) an individual survey instrument, the Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) and ii) a group-based model that incorporates informed opinions and deliberative dialogue, Citizen Juries (CJs). This current paper proposes a framework for implementing that integration and assesses methodological issues in the integration of DCEs and CJs, including issues of generalizability and validity. CJs and DCEs have conflicting epistemological and methodological foundations, which impact how researchers might analyze results of the integrated method. Researchers and policymakers interested in measuring social values should determine the philosophical orientation of their research question prior to study design, which will assist in choosing an appropriate research method. Further research is needed to investigate the empirical validity of the integrated method and how it may be implemented to maximize public acceptance. Advancing these methods can provide an improved instrument for capturing public preferences for policymakers tasked with priority setting in diverse contexts.
