Actoprotectors are preparations that enhance body stability against physical loads without increasing oxygen consumption or heat production. Or, in short, actoprotectors are synthetic adaptogens with a significant capacity to improve physical performance. This paper explores the history of actoprotectors' development, their pharmacological properties, mechanism of action, and practical application to the improvement of mental and physical performance. A brief summary of the clinico-pharmacological characteristics of the main representatives of this class (bemitil and bromantane) is provided. Some other synthesized compounds, and even natural ones such as ginseng, also are regarded as potential actoprotectors, and these are treated herein as well. Actoprotectors, owing to their wide-ranging pharmacological activities, high efficiency and safety, can be applied under either normal or extreme conditions.

In this paper, we attempt to achieve high dynamic performance by means of decoupled control of rotor speed and flux. Recently developed nonlinear feedback control theories are utilized. The rotor fluxes are estimated based on the rotor circuit equations. When the estimation error of the rotor flux tends to zero, the rotor speed and flux dynamic characteristics of the induction motor with our controller become linear. To minimize the deterioration of control performance, we use an identification algorithm for the rotor resistance. We analyze the dynamic behavior of the closed loop system with our controller. Both simulation and experimental results are included to demonstrate the practical significance of our result. In particular, our experimental results show that recently developed nonlinear feedback control techniques are of practical use in control of induction motors.

Suffix arrays, fundamental full-text index data structures, can be efficiently used where patterns are queried many times. Although many useful full-text index data structures have been proposed, their O(nlogn)-bit space consumption motivates researchers to develop more space-efficient ones. However, their space efficient versions such as the compressed suffix array and the FM-index have been developed; those can not reduce the practical working space because their constructions are based on the existing suffix array. Recently, two direct construction algorithms of compressed suffix arrays from the text without constructing the suffix array have been proposed. In this paper, we compare practical performance of these algorithms of compressed suffix arrays with that of various algorithms of suffix arrays by measuring the construction times, the peak memory usages during construction and the sizes of their final outputs.

PBFT (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant) is a consensus algorithm that can achieve consensus by resolving unintentional and intentional faults in a distributed network environment and can guarantee high performance and absolute finality. However, as the size of the network increases, the network load also increases due to message broadcasting that repeatedly occurs during the consensus process. Due to the characteristics of the PBFT algorithm, it is suitable for small/private blockchain, but there is a limit to its application to large/public blockchain. Because PBFT affects the performance of blockchain networks, the industry should test whether PBFT is suitable for products and services, and academia needs a unified evaluation metric and technology for PBFT performance improvement research. In this paper, quantitative evaluation metrics and evaluation frameworks that can evaluate PBFT family consensus algorithms are studied. In addition, the throughput, latency, and fault tolerance of PBFT are evaluated using the proposed PBFT evaluation framework.

Rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) coated conductor (CC) tapes have already been commercialized but still possess some issues in terms of manufacturing cost, anisotropic in-field performance, $I_c$ response to mechanical loads such as delamination, homogeneity of current transport property, and production length. Development on improving its performance properties to meet the needs in practical device applications is underway and simplification of the tape's architecture and manufacturing process are also being considered to enhance the performance-cost ratio. As compared to low temperature superconductors (LTS), high temperature superconductor (HTS) REBCO CC tapes provide a much wider range of operating temperature and a higher critical current density at 4.2 K making it more attractive in magnet and coil applications. The superior properties of the REBCO CC tapes under magnetic field have led to the development of superconducting magnets capable of producing field way above 23.5 T. In order to achieve its optimum performance, the electromechanical properties under different deformation modes and magnetic field should be evaluated for practical device design. This paper gives an overview of the effects of mechanical stress/strain on $I_c$ in HTS CC tapes due to uniaxial tension, bending deformation, transverse load, and including the electrical performance of a CC tape joint which were performed by our group at ANU in the last decade.
