In this study, in vitro colonic fermentation and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing were used to explore the effects of the Cyperus esculentus dietary fiber on the production of short-chain fat acids (SCFAs) by the human gut microbiota and its structure. Soybean dietary fiber served as the control. The results showed that C. esculentus dietary fiber significantly promoted the production of SCFAs, but its effect was less pronounced than that of soybean dietary fiber. This study also found that high concentrations of dietary fiber significantly changed the diversity and richness of the gut microbiota, and the effects of the two dietary fibers were significantly different. C. esculentus dietary fiber significantly promoted the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, but inhibited the growth of Bacteroidota. Its effect was slightly different from that of soybean dietary fiber. Moreover, compared with soybean dietary fiber, C. esculentus dietary fiber significantly had a stronger capacity to promote the growth and reproduction of Subdoligranulum, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Faecalibacterium, and significantly suppressed the growth of Prevotella and Bacteroides. This study highlights the potential of C. esculentus dietary fiber as a novel prebiotic.

In order to solve the dynamic analysis and chaotic motion control problems of the current-mode-controlled Boost converter system, a state equation model in the continuous current mode is established. The evolutionary path of the periodic motion of the system through the doubling bifurcation to the chaotic motion is analyzed by the bifurcation diagram, Poincaré sections and phase portraits. Then, according to the fundamental principle of the resonant parametric perturbation (RPP) method, a controller is designed based on the model-free adaptive control (MFAC) method to output the perturbation amplitude, and the disturbance quantity is calculated according to the perturbation amplitude. By adding a small amplitude disturbance to the controllable parameter of the controlled system, the chaotic motion of the system is guided to expected periodic orbit. The advantage of this method is that no precise mathematical model (PMM) of the system is required. At the same time, the design of the controller is simple and easy to implement.

For the chaotic motion control of a single-degree-of-freedom vibro-impact system with soft constraint, two-parameter cooperative intelligent optimal control method based on LRS-QPSO (i.e., Local Rotational Search Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm optimization SVM (i.e., Support Vector Machines) was proposed. Firstly, in the parameter plane (ω,ζ), the motion distribution of the system and the change of the maximum Lyapunov exponent is obtained by numerical simulation, and the correlation between parameters change and the transition from chaotic motion to periodic motion is analyzed. Secondly, by introducing ω and ζ into the construction of the input variables of the SVM controller, a chaotic motion two-parameter cooperative intelligent optimal control strategy is proposed to meet the requirements of expected control objectives. Therefore, by the virtue of nonlinear mapping characteristics of SVM, the combined effects of ω and ζ on the dynamic state transition of the system can be reflected in the output variables of the controller. Finally, with single parameter ω and single parameter ζ as the research object, the bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, and controlled periodic motion orbit diagram are analyzed, and the advantages of two-parameter cooperative intelligent optimal control are compared and analyzed.

For the chaotic motion control of a vibro-impact system with clearance, the parameter feedback chaos control strategy based on the data-driven control method is presented in this article. The pseudo-partial-derivative is estimated on-line by using the input/output data of the controlled system so that the compact form dynamic linearization (CFDL) data model of the controlled system can be established. And then, the chaos controller is designed based on the CFDL data model of the controlled system. And the distance between two adjacent points on the Poincaré section is used as the judgment basis to guide the controller to output a small perturbation to adjust the damping coefficient of the controlled system, so the chaotic motion can be controlled to a periodic motion by dynamically and slightly adjusting the damping coefficient of the controlled system. In this method, the design of the controller is independent of the order of the controlled system and the structure of the mathematical model. Only the input/output data of the controlled system can be used to complete the design of the controller. In the simulation experiment, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control method in this article are verified by simulation results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wheel-rail adhesion often reaches its limit states when heavy-haul and high-speed trains traveling. In order to obtain the maximum adhesive force utilization, this paper put forward a dynamic multiple sub-population QPSO algorithm to evolve a neural network, and designed the intelligent optimization controller based on the network to implement the optimized adhesion control of locomotive. By dynamically adjusting the motor torque, it achieved the optimal wheel-rail adhesion force. In simulation study, this paper used a typical test function to test the performance of the dynamic multiple sub-population QPSO algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate the relatively high accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm, and prove that the algorithm can improve the convergence speed and learning ability of the neural network, at the same time, in optimized adhesion control of locomotive, the intelligent optimization controller can also get a good control effect.
