Fixed-Time Consensus-Based Nash Equilibrium Seeking

Dear Editor,This letter examines the fixed-time stability of the Nash equilibrium(NE)in non-cooperative games.We propose a consensus-based NE seeking algorithm for situations where players do not have perfect information and communicate via a topology graph.The proposed algorithm can achieve NE in a fixed time that does not depend on initial conditions and can be adjusted in advance.

Fixed-Time Cooperative Tracking for Delayed Disturbed Multi-Agent Systems Under Dynamic Event-Triggered Control

Dear editor,Recently,researchers have obtained many new results about the multi-agent systems(MASs)[1]-[3].In[1],the fixed-time cooperative control(FTCC)algorithm of linear MASs with matched disturbances was proposed.The nonholonomic chained-form dynamics case was considered in[2].In[3],the output tracking problem with data packet dropout was solved for high-order MASs.Moreover,delay frequently occurs because of the non-ideal data transmission[4],and the corresponding FTCC algorithm of MASs with delay was given in[5].

A preliminary phylogeny of Tipula and taxonomic placement of the subgenus Tipula (Sivatipula) (Diptera: Tipuloidea) based on mitochondrial COI gene

The large genus Tipula Linnaeus,1758 contributes heavily to the biodiversity of the family Tipulidae.However,the monophyly of Tipula has not yet been verified.The subgenus Sivatipula Alexander,1964 is possibly the most confusing subgeneric taxon in the genus Tipula because of its members’particularly long antenna and one-armed posterior immovable apodeme on semen pump,which makes its subgeneric position uncertain.In this research,the sequences of cytochrome oxidase I(COI)for 19 Tipula species and five taxa from other genera are analyzed.Considering the molecular evidence on genetic distance as well as phylogenetic analysis and morphological information,our results indicate that(1)the genus Tipula is not resolved as monophyletic in phylogeny based on neighbor joining(NJ)and maximum likelihood(ML)trees because the subgenus Sivatipula doesn’t form a monophyletic clade with the remaining subgenera of Tipula;and(2)Sivatipula may deserve a generic status since it forms an independent phylogenetic line.

All-inorganic ultrathin high-sensitivity transparent temperature sensor based on a Mn-Co-Ni-O nanofilm

The demand for optically transparent temperature sensors in intelligent devices is increasing.However,the performance of these sensors,particularly in terms of their sensitivity and resolution,must be further enhanced.This study introduces a novel transparent and highly sensitive temperature sensor characterized by its ultrathin,freestanding design based on a Mn-Co-Ni-O nanofilm.The Mn-Co-Ni-O-based sensor exhibits remarkable sensitivity,with a temperature coefficient of resistance of−4%℃^(−1),and can detect minuscule temperature fluctuations as small as 0.03℃.Additionally,the freestanding sensor can be transferred onto any substrate for versatile application while maintaining robust structural stability and excellent resistance to interference,indicating its suitability for operation in challenging environments.Its practical utility in monitoring the surface temperature of optical devices is demonstrated through vertical integration of the sensor and a micro light-emitting diode on a polyimide substrate.Moreover,an experiment in which the sensor is implanted in rats confirms its favorable biocompatibility,highlighting the promising applications of the sensor in the biomedical domain.

Description of a new species in the genus Nephrotoma(Diptera:Tipuloidea:Tipulidae)from China,with redescriptions of hypopygiums of six species

A species of the genus Nephrotoma from Xizang,China is described as new to science,namely N.zhuolonggouensis Men,sp.nov.,which differs from its relative species by the structures of outer gonostylus,median lobe of sternite eighth and gonapophyses.Hypopygiums of another six species,N.concava Yang&Yang,1990,N.geniculata Yang&Yang,1987,N.hirsuticauda Alexander,1924,N.martynovi Alexander,1935,N.nigrostylata Alexander,1935 and N.virgata(Coquillett,1898),are redescribed based on additional characters.

Comparative morphological study of reproductive system between Tipulidae and Limoniidae(Diptera： Tipuloidea)

In present paper, the morphological descriptions of reproductive systems for Libnotes（Libnotes） pseudonohirai Men, 2015 in both sexes are provided, which represents the first description of the internal reproductive system in this genus. The female internal reproductive system of Libnotes（Libnotes） pseudonohirai is compared with that of the two presently examined species, Hexatoma（Eriocera） cleopatroides Men, 2015 and Holorusia sp., as well as some species previously documented. The morphological differences of internal reproductive organs for these species are listed. Additionally, the characteristic modes of internal reproductive systems for Tipulidae and Limoniidae are compared and summarized.
