In the context of the publication of DSM-5, the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) has been proposed as a new dimensional assessment tool for personality disorders. This instrument includes a pool of 220 items organized around 25 facets included in a five-factor second-order domain structure. The examination of the replicability of the trait structure across methods and populations is of p...

We thank Jin and Zhu for their comments (1). Our study in PNAS focuses on the molecular role for PINOID (PID) and PID-mediated CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) phosphorylation in the regulation of seedling development in Arabidopsis (2). Not only hypocotyl elongation but also apical hook maintenance and cotyledon aperture are phenotypic readouts for photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis (3,...

We ®rst present a novel general-purpose nonlinear PID controller realized via fuzzy PID control that uses our newly-introduced simpli®ed Takagi±Sugeno (TS) rule scheme. Analytical structure of the fuzzy PID controller is derived and its structure is analyzed in relation to the linear PID controller. The unique features of the fuzzy controller are as follows. First, the proportional, integral an...

OBJECTIVES We analyzed the clinical features of 138 patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID) and performed genetic testing on a subset of patients in order to complete gaps in research on PID in South China and thus improve pediatricians' ability to recognize and diagnose PID. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis based on the medical records of PID patients hospitalized in our in...

BACKGROUND Closed-loop (CL) insulin delivery systems utilizing proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers have demonstrated susceptibility to late postprandial hypoglycemia because of delays between insulin delivery and blood glucose (BG) response. An insulin feedback (IFB) modification to the PID algorithm has been introduced to mitigate this risk. We examined the effect of IFB on CL B...

The proximal metaphyses of the humerus of weanling gnotobiotic dogs experimentally infected with canine distemper virus (CDV) were investigated histologically and immunocytochemically between 4 and 41 days after infection. Viral antigen was demonstrated in hematopoietic marrow and bone cells at postinfection day (PID) 5 and PID 7, respectively. Between PID 8 and 27, CDV antigen was abundantly p...

Etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings have long hypocotyls and closed yellow cotyledons (skotomorphogenesis); however, light-grown plants exhibit short hypocotyls and opened green cotyledons (photomorphogenesis) (1). It has been revealed that E3 ubiquitin ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) is a central negative regulator for plant photomorphogenesis. COP1 directly targets a plethora of t...
