This paper presents a novel fuzzy control scheme applied to shunt active power filters for harmonic and reactive power compensation. A TSK type fuzzy logic controller is proposed for APF reference current generation. To control the maximum switching frequency of the converter within limit a novel fuzzy hysteresis band current controller is used. The band height, based on fuzzy control principle...

By 12th grade, about half of young Americans have tried marijuana, which put me in the geeky other half. I used to think this was a good thing, since I never developed a taste for pot and avoided becoming dependent. But as the medical-marijuana movement flowered and weed's p.r. improved, I often wondered if I shouldn't have relished it as a kid, before I had a personal trainer to tsk-tsk my eve...

Background: The effects of kinesiophobia on pain perception in osteoarthritis patients have remained elusive. intension this study is to assess psychometric aspect pain, functional activity, and kinesophobia with chronic osteoarthritic knee pain. Methods: was time bound observational cross-section study, including 50 patients. Kinesiophobia assessed using Tampa scale (TSK-11), while physical fu...

This paper introduces a higher-order Takagi-SugenoKang (TSK) neuro-fuzzy inference system and its applications in medical decision support systems. Different from most TSK fuzzy systems that utilize first-order TSK type fuzzy rules, the proposed system is composed of higherorder TKS fuzzy rules that have functions in their consequent parts of the following type: y = b0 x1 b1 x2 ...xp . The type...

Fuzzy logic controller is one of the most prominent research fields to improve efficiency for process industries, which usually stick conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. The paper proposes an improved version three-term PID-like fuzzy by removing necessity having user-defined parameters in place algorithm work. resulting non-parametric dissimilarity-based clustering was...

Bacterial and fungal pathogens in recirculating aquaculture egg incubation systems can cause elevated mortality decreased production. Peracetic acid (PAA) is a relatively low-cost, safe, effective disinfectant; however, its toxicity to early life stages of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has not been assessed. The 24-h LC50 value PAA was determined for three salmon: eyed eggs, fry (~0.17 g), ...

Background: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) remains the most performed cardiac worldwide. Fear of movement (Kinesiophobia) after is associated with physical activity and non-adherence to rehabilitation. It observed that functional capacity significantly reduced surgery. Long term Kinesiophobia leads avoidance behaviours hampers levels deconditioning. The aim study was find out Corre...

Hydration is recommended in order to decrease the overload on the cardiovascular system when healthy individuals exercise, mainly in the heat. To date, no criteria have been established for hydration for hypertensive (HY) individuals during exercise in a hot environment. Eight male HY volunteers without another medical problem and 8 normal (NO) subjects (46 +/- 3 and 48 +/- 1 years; 78.8 +/- 2....

Effects of the menstrual cycle on heat loss and heat production (M) and core and skin temperature responses to cold were studied in six unacclimatized female nonsmokers (18-29 yr of age). Each woman, resting supine, was exposed to a cold transient (ambient temperature = mean radiant temperature = 20 to -5 degrees C at -0.32 degrees C/min, relative humidity = 50 +/- 2%, wind speed = 1 m/s) in th...
