In this paper, a comparative study was carried out to evaluate the real-time performance of fuzzy proportional-integral plus fuzzy proportional-derivative (Fuzzy PI + Fuzzy PD) controller with the real-time performance of Conventional PI for a liquid-level process experiment. The process considered for this experiment shows highly nonlinear behavior due to equal percentage pneumatic control val...

BACKGROUND Bispecific T cell engager (BiTE®) are single-chain bispecific antibody constructs with dual specificity for CD3 on T cells and a surface antigen on target cells. They can elicit a polyclonal cytotoxic T cell response that is not restricted by T cell receptor (TCR) specificity, and surface expression of MHC class I/peptide antigen complexes. Using human EpCAM/CD3-bispecific BiTE® anti...

It is known that aerosol and precursor gas emissions over East Asia may be underestimated by 50% due to the absence of data on regional rural and township industries. As the most important element of anthropogenic emissions, sulphur dioxide (SO2) can form sulfate aerosols through several chemical processes, thus affecting the regional and global climate. In this study, we use the Community Atmo...

In this paper we propose a gain matrix selection procedure for a class of full order unknown input observers (UIO). These kinds of observers employ sliding-mode principles to force the observation error into the sliding surface. Then, the error starts a sliding motion along the surface until it asymptotically converges to zero. Although this method exhibits good performance, there is not any ex...

This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...

In this paper, we extend the sliding mode idea to a class of unmatched uncertain variable structure systems. This method is achieved with introducing a new terminal sliding variable and the finite time stability of proposed method is proved using a new particular finite time condition in both reaching and sliding phases. In reaching phase new sliding mode controller is derived to guarantee the ...

This paper presents a comparative study between various control strategies. The design of different controllers, the sliding mode controller, the self tuning fuzzy logic controller, the fuzzy logic controller and the classical PI controller are proposed. The simulations results showed the performances and limits of the different cited controllers. In fact, the sliding mode controller is charact...
