The thermoregulatory responses of menstruant women to exercise in dry heat (dry-bulb temperature/wet-bulb temperature = 48/25 degrees C) were evaluated at three times during the menstrual cycle: menstrual flow (MF), 3-5 days during midcycle including ovulation (OV), and in the middle of the luteal phase (LU). Serum concentrations of estradiol-17 beta (E2), progesterone (Pg), luteinizing hormone...

The search for an animal model of systemic sclerosis (SSc) was tenaciously pursued by E.C. LeRoy. We studied several aspects of the tight skin mouse (Tsk) genetics and pathogenesis under his stimulating influence that contributed to a better understanding of the fibrotic scleroderma-like phenotype of this mouse. The identification of the fibrillin-1 mutation in the Tsk mouse and the characteriz...

It is shown that the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy inference mechanism is optimal with respect to a certain criterion that quantiies the controversy between the inference made, and the knowledge represented in the knowledge-base.

Reinforcement evolutionary learning using data mining algorithm (R-ELDMA) with a TSK-type fuzzy controller (TFC) for solving reinforcement control problems is proposed in this study. R-ELDMA aims to determine suitable rules in a TFC and identify suitable and unsuitable groups for chromosome selection. To this end, the proposed R-ELDMA entails both structure and parameter learning. In structure ...

In this article, sensorless speed control of DC motor has been proposed using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) estimator and Takagi–Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy logic controller (FLC). industry, high-cost measurement systems/sensors are necessary for better controlling monitoring, which can be replaced by a technique to reduce cost, size increase system reliability robustness. EKF used perform estim...

Infrared thermography has been widely used to visualize skin temperature in human science. One of the important areas its application is analysis changes body surface as a result use physical medicine treatments post-exercise regeneration sports. The aim this study was evaluate cutaneous response selected and range chosen markers skeletal muscle damage partial cryostimulation (PBC) method post-...
