BACKGROUND Proportion of days covered (PDC), a commonly used adherence metric, does not provide information about the longitudinal course of adherence to treatment over time. Group-based trajectory model (GBTM) is an alternative method that overcomes this limitation. METHODS The statistical principles of GBTM and PDC were applied to assess adherence during a 12-month follow-up in psoriasis pa...

1. Primary biliary cirrhosis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with an autoimmune aetiology. The classical histopathological lesion, of portal tract biliary epithelial cell damage, is accompanied by a T-cell-rich mononuclear cell infiltrate and upregulation of cell surface markers suggestive of local T-cell activation and cytokine release. This suggests that T-cell mediated mechanisms play...

The event-triggered output feedback fault-tolerant control problem is studied in this paper for interval type-2 Takagi–Sugeno (IT2 T-S) fuzzy large-scale systems with time delays. First, a state observer designed to address the immeasurable states problem. Then, by introducing discrete mechanism, an observer-based decentralized controller dynamic parameters synthesized presence of actuator faul...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

Sustainable stream processing algorithms have gained popularity in recent years. Flow control is a way of searching and modifying real-time data streams. Missing values are ubiquitous real-world streams, making privacy challenging to safeguard. On the other hand, most preservation methods need not take absent into account when developed. They can anonymize certain study, however this results lo...
