controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (it2fls) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. in contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (asmc) provides...

We investigated the effect of Punica granatum peel aqueous extract (PGE), on pulmonary inflammation and alveolar degradation induced by intratracheal administration Elastase in Sprague Dawley rats. Lung was rats instillation Elastase. On day 1 2, animals received an intraperitoneal injection PGE (200 mg/mL), three hours later, they were intratracheally instilled with 25U/kg pancreatic porcine A...

BACKGROUND Lung-protective mechanical ventilation during general surgery including the application of PEEP can reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. In a prospective clinical observation study, we evaluated volume-dependent respiratory system compliance in adult patients undergoing ear-nose-throat surgery with ventilation settings chosen empirically by the attending anaesthetist.
