A sliding mode observer is presented, which is rigorously proven to achieve finite-time state estimation of a dual-parallel underactuated (i.e., single-input multi-output) cart inverted pendulum system in the presence of Pumice parametric uncertainty.A salient feature of the proposed sliding mode observer design is that a rigorous analysis is provi

Bacillus pumilus 64-1, a bacterial strain isolated from the marine sponge Plakina cyanorosea, which exhibits antimicrobial activity against both pathogenic and drug-resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.This study aimed to conduct an in-depth genomic analysis of this bioactive sponge-derived strain.The nearly complete genome of strain
