Emerging green-energy cyber-physical systems (CPS), in particular electric-drive vehicles (PHEV, HEV, and EV), have demonstrated great potentials to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the ever-growing dependence on foreign oil. Few studies have focused on the user-specific driving behavior and its significant impact on electric-drive vehicles fuel efficiency, battery system life-cycle and the environment. This paper presents a personalized mobile sensing system development for the emerging green-energy CPS, which captures user’s run-time driving behavior and characterizes its impact on (P)HEV operations. The proposed sensing computing system has been deployed in a number of PHEVs and HEVs, with user studies of four different drivers and over 150 driving trips under various road and traffic conditions. Using the extracted real-world hybrid vehicle and user driving data, we have conducted detailed analytical studies of users’ specific driving patterns and their impacts on hybrid vehicle electric energy and fuel efficiency.

Sphingolipids are a specialized group of lipids essential to the composition of the plasma membrane of many cell types; however, they are primarily localized within the nervous system. The amphipathic properties of sphingolipids enable their participation in a variety of intricate metabolic pathways. Sphingoid bases are the building blocks for all sphingolipid derivatives, comprising a complex class of lipids. The biosynthesis and catabolism of these lipids play an integral role in small- and large-scale body functions, including participation in membrane domains and signalling; cell proliferation, death, migration, and invasiveness; inflammation; and central nervous system development. Recently, sphingolipids have become the focus of several fields of research in the medical and biological sciences, as these bioactive lipids have been identified as potent signalling and messenger molecules. Sphingolipids are now being exploited as therapeutic targets for several pathologies. Here we present a comprehensive review of the structure and metabolism of sphingolipids and their many functional roles within the cell. In addition, we highlight the role of sphingolipids in several pathologies, including inflammatory disease, cystic fibrosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and lysosomal storage disorders.
