Abstract: The PI+CI compensator is a simple reset compensator, its base system is a PI, which has been shown to be effective in a number of practical applications. One fundamental parameter to be tuned is the reset ratio; for lag dominant systems or systems with integrators it is known to give good results overcoming PI compensation. In this work, a systematic method for the tuning of a variabl...

Several semantic and syntactic distinctions, which have largely been neglected in the Vietnamese linguistic literature, are drawn together in this paper in a comparative context with other better-studied languages in order to indicate that Inner Aspect is projected within the VP shell and independently of the projection of Outer Aspect – a structural proposal originally advanced by Travis (2010...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Persistent intestinal damage is associated with higher complication rates in celiac disease. We aimed to assess the potential modifiers of mucosal recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Trials, and Web of Science) for papers on celiac disease. Papers discussing (1) celiac patients (2) follow-up biopsy and (3) mucosal recovery after ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical severity and proportionality of small for gestational age, very low birth weight neonates (< 1,500 g) and to estimate the neonatal mortality risk associated with the condition of being small for gestational age according to the degree of severity and proportionality. METHODS Observational design. All of the NEOCOSUR Collaborative Group's very low birth weig...

BACKGROUND Giant cell arteritis (GCA), if untreated, can lead to blindness and stroke. The study's objectives were to (1) determine a new evidence-based benchmark of the extent of diagnostic delay for GCA and (2) examine the role of GCA-specific characteristics on diagnostic delay. METHODS Medical literature databases were searched from inception to November 2015. Articles were included if re...

Under complex grid conditions, the voltage usually has an imbalance, low order harmonics, and a small of DC bias. When contains harmonics amount bias component, inverter's output current cannot meet connection requirements, there is three-phase imbalance in control strategy common VSG under unbalanced voltage. A theoretical analysis non-ideal power grids carried out, operating conditions propos...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect on creatinine clearance (CG-CrCl, Cockcroft-Gault equation) of switching to boosted protease inhibitor (PI) monotherapy in patients receiving a triple drug antiretroviral regimen containing TDF. METHODS All patients who had received a TDF-containing regimen for at least one year and had been switched to PI monotherapy were included. A rapid decrease in CG-CrCl...

Vibration signal analysis is the most common technique used for mechanical vibration monitoring. By using sensors, fault prognosis of rotating machinery provides a way to detect possible machine damage at an early stage and prevent property losses by taking appropriate measures. We first propose digital integrator in frequency domain combining fast Fourier transform with filtering. The velocity...

PURPOSE To evaluate the ESUR scoring system (PI-RADS) for multiparametric MRI of the prostate in clinical routine and to define a reliable way to generate an overall PI-RADS score. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all patients with a history of negative prebiopsies, who underwent 3 Tesla multiparametric MRI from October 2011 to April 2013 (n = 143): PI-RADS scores for each single modality we...

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a major public health problem in Krabi Province, Thailand. A quasi-experimental study was designed and conducted to assess the effectiveness of the newly-developed Larval and Pupal Source Reduction Program (LSRP) for the prevention and control of DHF in four villages in Plaipraya District, Krabi Province. Ninety students and ninety housewives were enrolled in t...
