Collision avoidance and stabilisation are two of the most crucial concerns when an autonomous vehicle finds itself in emergency situations, which usually occur in a short time horizon and require large actuator inputs, together with highly nonlinear tyre cornering response. In order to avoid collision while stabilising autonomous vehicle under dynamic driving situations at handling limits, this paper proposes a novel emergency steering control strategy based on hierarchical control architecture consisting of decision-making layer and motion control layer. In decision-making layer, a dynamic threat assessment model continuously evaluates the risk associated with collision and destabilisation, and a path planner based on kinematics and dynamics of vehicle system determines a collision-free path when it suddenly encounters emergency scenarios. In motion control layer, a lateral motion controller considering nonlinearity of tyre cornering response and unknown external disturbance is designed using tyre lateral force estimation-based backstepping sliding-mode control to track a collision-free path, and to ensure the robustness and stability of the closed-loop system. Both simulation and experiment results show that the proposed control scheme can effectively perform an emergency collision avoidance manoeuvre while maintaining the stability of autonomous vehicle in different running conditions.

COAL , *PERMEABILITY - Abstract
Macrolithotypes control the pore-fracture distribution heterogeneity in coal impacting the coalbed methane (CBM) production from the reservoir. However, few studies have focused on the characteristics of macrolithotypes. Here, the macrolithotype samples from the three continuous seams (No. 3, 5 and 11) in the Hancheng Block, Ordos Basin, China were quantitatively characterized by multiple length scales. The results indicate that the bright coal has the best development of micro-fracture than those of the other macrolithotypes, which with good openness and connectivity under the optical microscopy; N2 adsorption/desorption results reflect that the adsorption pores of the semi-dull and dull coal are more developed than the bright coal and semi-bright coal, and are dominated by plate-like and ink-bottle pores. The characteristics of the mercury intrusion/extrusion curves were determined by the mercury injection (MIP). From bright to dull coal the pore connectivity being worse, and the uniformity of pore and throats distribution becomes lower. The pore type that divided by NMR are recovered to be seepage type (the bright), comprehensive type (the semi-bright and semi-dull), and the type of adsorption (the dull). The behavioral differences would impact the porosity and permeability in coal. Thus, by the well logging evaluation approach, the relationship between coal macrolithotypes and select logging parameters were determined for coal macrolithotype identification, and with the petrel software included, the porosity-permeability models were built to investigate the permeability evolution with the coal macrolithotypes. Macrolithotypes are closely related to the permeability of coal reservoirs in this area. The greater contribution of permeability is typically from of the bright and semi-bright coal, and followed by semi-dull and dull coal, the better development of bright coal, the better permeability of the reservoir and vice versa.

In the past decade, several publications have shown that it is advisable to design an advanced driver assistance system using a shared control structure. This paper is concerned with the modelling and verification of an interactive steering control strategy between a driver and an active front steering (AFS) controller to investigate the complex interactions between human driver and an AFS system. Using game theory as a general framework, a more comprehensive mathematical model system of interactive steering control potentially applicable to explore human drivers’ behaviours in shared control of intelligent vehicles is presented and discussed in this paper. The effects of different information patterns, namely the open-loop pattern and the closed-loop feedback pattern on modelling shared steering control between driver and AFS have been investigated. Simulation and hardware-in-loop implementation results prove the validity of steering interactive modelling in different game information patterns. Specifically, the results show that, in the Nash equilibrium strategy situation, the driver and the AFS controller may become more rational and reasonable in the process of completing the same dynamic task in the closed-loop feedback information patterns compared to the open-loop ones; and the differences between feedback Nash and feedback Stackelberg may depend on the step size of discretisation.

The testis is vulnerable to ionizing radiation, sexual dysfunction and male infertility are common problems after local radiation or whole-body exposure. Currently, there are no approved drugs for the prevention or treatment of radiation testicular injury. Sulforaphane (SFN) is an indirect antioxidant that induces phase II detoxification enzymes and antioxidant genes. Herein, we investigated the radiation protective effect of SFN on testicular injury in mice and its potential mechanism. Mice were randomly divided into blank control group (Ctrl), radiation + no pretreatment group (IR), and radiation + SFN groups (IRS). In the radiation + SFN groups, starting from 72 h before radiation, SFN solution was intraperitoneally injected once a day until they were sacrificed. Mice in the blank control group and the radiation + no pretreatment group were simultaneously injected intraperitoneally with an equal volume of the solvent used to dissolve SFN (PBS with a final concentration of 0.1%DMSO) until they were sacrificed. They were subjected to 6Mev-ray radiation to the lower abdominal testis area (total dose 2Gy). Twenty-four hours after radiation, six mice in each group were randomly sacrificed. Seventy-two hours after radiation, the remaining mice were sacrificed. The results showed that the harmful effects of ionizing radiation on testes were manifested as damage to histoarchitecture, increased oxidative stress, and apoptosis, and thus impaired male fertility. SFN injections can reverse these symptoms. The results showed that SFN can improve the damage of mouse testis caused by irradiation. Furthermore, SFN prevents spermatogenesis dysfunction caused by ionizing radiation by activating Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant gene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Previous studies about factors on coalbed methane production cannot meet the need for refined development. This work attempts to study the impact of macrolithotype characteristics known before fracturing on well production, to enable the developer to predict the production potential of each well in advance and adopt a precise development strategy. Logging data of 216 wells were obtained to predict macrolithotypes distribution of No. 3, 5, and 11 seams in the Hancheng block. And macrolithotype characteristics were described from two aspects: the proportion of bright layers in thickness (PBLT) and the number of layers per meter (NLPM), and their impact on well productivity were evaluated respectively by analyzing the production data. The results show that PBLT value increases from No.11 to 3 seams. PBLT has a positive correlation with well productivity. Bright type has the highest productivity potential (771 m3/d), followed by semi-bright type (681 m3/d), and semi-dull type (436 m3/d). There is a negative correlation between NLPM and productivity. Stable type has the highest productivity potential (1049 m3/d), followed by relatively stable type (719 m3/d), and unstable type (405 m3/d). Thick coal seams with high NLPM may not have much production potential. Under multi-seam production, seams with high PBLT should be selected, and NLPM can be used as a critical index to estimate the inter-seam interference before fracturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The decarburisation annealing processes of Nb-bearing grain-oriented silicon steel under different conditions were conducted. The effect of nitriding and decarburisation annealing time on the carbon content, precipitates, microstructure and texture of Nb-bearing grain-oriented silicon steel were investigated by the various analysis methods. The results show that the carbon content in the steel decreases as decarburisation time increasing, and decreases below 0.003% eventually. Larger number density and smaller size of precipitates were obtained in the sample treated by nitriding before decarburisation annealing process, leading to fine and uniform microstructure, which is beneficial to obtain excellent magnetic properties for Nb-bearing grain-oriented silicon steel. The main texture types of the experimental samples were γ-fibres with a peak at {111}<112 >. The nitriding before decarburisation annealing process makes little effect on texture evolution during decarburisation annealing process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a significant active safety technology towards fully autonomous driving, driver-automation co-piloting provides a new thinking for enhancing vehicle active safety and relieving driver's workload. However, the preview pattern divergence between driver and steering assistance system (SAS) may give rise to serious steering conflicts, which reduces driver's faith in SAS, cause him/her to turn off it, and even result in fatal traffic accidents. Focusing on mimicking the driver's steering behaviour, this paper proposes a human-like steering assistance scheme by adaptively varying the preview time and assistance gain of the SAS controller. Driver's preview behaviour of the road curvature is numerically identified using simulator tests along a multi-curves road, based on which a nominal preview-scheduled driver model is established. Based on the nominal driver model, a co-piloting system featuring human-like preview behaviour and a time-varying assistance penalty is proposed to formulate the steering torque-overlay dynamics of both agents in path-tracking. Next, a linear parameter varying (LPV)/H∞ controller satisfying pole placement is integrated to ensure the robustness and stability within the entire parameter space. This enables the steering assistance scheme to have a scheduled preview pattern like a human driver. Results of driving simulator experiment indicate that the proposed steering assistance scheme is able to mitigate driver-SAS conflicts and improve driver's path-tracking performance.
