The antilock braking system (ABS) is designed to optimize braking effectiveness and maintain steerability; however, the ABS performance will be degraded in the case of severe road conditions. In this study, a self-learning fuzzy sliding-mode control (SLFSMC) design method is proposed for ABS. The SLFSMC ABS will modulate the brake torque for optimum braking. The SLFSMC system is comprised of a ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of a folkloric medicinal plant extract (Ankaferd Blood Stopper [ABS]) with that of oxidized cellulose (Surgicel) in a life-threatening renal injury model. ABS is a mixture of 5 plants that has historically been used in Turkish traditional medicine. It has been approved by the Ministry of Health to manage external hemorrhage and dental surgery bleeding in Turke...

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system for vehicles which will allow controlling wheels of vehicle and providing safety contact on road surface according to driver braking input, avoiding uncontrolled skidding and also preventing the wheels from locking up. The main task of ABS is to press and release the brakes almost 15 times a second, so process of stopping the vehicle...

BACKGROUND Superficial vein thrombophlebitis is the common vascular symptom in Behçet disease and is characterized as erythema nodosum-like eruptions. Some studies have reported the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs) in patients with Behçet disease. OBSERVATIONS We measured lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I, and antiphosphatidylserine-prothrombin com...

Human antibodies (Abs) elicited by influenza viruses often bind with a high affinity to past influenza virus strains, but paradoxically, do not bind to the viral strain actually eliciting the response. This phenomena is called 'original antigenic sin' (OAS) since this can occur at the expense of generating new de novo Abs. Here, we characterized the specificity and functionality of Abs elicited...

The ABS methods, introduced by Abaffy, Broyden and Spedicato, are direct iteration methods for solving a linear system where the ith iterate satisfies the first i equations, therefore a system of m equations is solved in at most m steps. Recently, we have presented a new approach to devise a class of ABS-type methods for solving full row rank systems [K. Amini, N. Mahdavi-Amiri, M. R. Peyghami,...

Major syntactic boundaries are often accompanied by a rise in the phrase component of the fundamental frequency (F0) contour. Detecting such rises, therefore, can be signi cantly helpful to the speech recognition process. We developed a method to detect syntactic boundaries with phrasecomponent rise (henceforth, phrase boundaries), based on the compression of the accent component of the F0 cont...

Context-specific independence representations, such as treestructured CPTs, reduce the number of parameters in Bayesian networks by capturing local independence relationships. We previously presented Abstraction-Based Search (ABS), a technique for using attribute value hierarchies during Bayesian network learning to remove unimportant dis-ion-Based Search (ABS), a technique for using attribute ...

Mobile telephone service was first introduced to Japanese market in the mid-1980s and from then on, this area of business has shown a rapid growth of the number of the subscribers. However, recently, the mobile telephone market in Japan has become saturated. Most of the adult populations have at least one mobile phone set nowadays. Moreover, there are hardly any distinct differences in the qual...

We investigate local and nonlocal signatures of hybridization between a quantum dot state an extended Andreev bound (ABS) in gate-defined InAs nanowire with multiple side probes. When one the probes was hybridized ABS nanowire, characteristic spectroscopic pattern observed both locally, i.e., probe dot, nonlocally, tunnel conductance remote probe. Nonlocal reveal nature ABS.
