Adaptive Fuzzy Output Feedback Fault-Tolerant Compensation for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Infinite Number of Time-Varying Actuator Failures and Full-State Constraints.

This paper focuses on the observer-based fuzzy adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control problem for uncertain nonlinear systems subject to unmeasured states and unmatched external disturbances. By designing a high gain state observer and a disturbance observer, unmeasured states and unmatched external disturbances are estimated and robust tracking performance is improved. Moreover, the barrier-type functions are introduced to the backstepping design procedure to address the problem that all states do not violate their constraint bounds. Finally, a novel fault-tolerant control scheme for output feedback is proposed by combining with the projection technique. By designing appropriate Lyapunov functions, it is concluded that all signals of the plant are bounded and the desired tracking error can be regulated to a small neighborhood around the origin. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the designed control scheme.

[Mapping QTLs controlling vascular bundle and panicle-related traits from Yuanjiang common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.)].

An advanced backcross population (BC3F2), derived from the cross between Yuanjiang common wild rice as the donor parent and Teqing as recurrent parent, was used to map QTLs controlling the number of vascular bundle and panicle-related traits from Yuanjiang common wild rice. Seven QTLs controlling the number of large vascular bundles in peduncle were detected on chromosome 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10. Five QTLs for the number of small vascular bundles in peduncle were mapped on chromosome 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8. A total of 15 QTLs for the number of primary and secondary rachis branches and spikelets per panicle were identified on all chromosomes except chromosome 11 and 12. Most of alleles derived from O. rufipogon Griff. showed negative effect that reduced significantly vascular bundle, rachis branches and spikelets per panicle, suggesting that during the evolution from common wild rice to cultivated rice, favorable alleles were retained while removed undesirable ones. Most of QTLs controlling vascular bundle, rachis branches and spikelets per panicle showed cluster form or close linkage on chromosomes. The directions of their additive effects were consistent, which explained the genetic basis of significant correlation of their phenotypic characters. All the information suggested parallel evolution relationship among these traits.
