Most of the Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy (TSF) systems found in the literature have only used linear functions of input variables as rule consequent and can be called as TSF Models with Fixed Coefficient (TSFMFC). This paper presents TSF model with variable coefficient (TSFMVC) which can more closely approximate a class of nonlinear systems, nonlinear dynamic systems, and nonlinear control systems. It i...

The functional roles of the two polypeptide chains that compose the T cell suppressor factor (TsF) that mediates the antigen-specific and genetically restricted suppressor function were studied by using the heavy or light chains isolated from the conventional TsF or the 11S and 13S mRNA translation products of TsF. Either the heavy or the light chain of mRNA translation products reconstitutes t...

Thought-shape fusion (TSF) describes the experience of body-related cognitive distortions associated with eating disorder (ED) pathology. In the laboratory TSF has been activated by thoughts about fattening/forbidden foods and thin ideals. This study aims at validating a questionnaire to assess the trait susceptibility to TSF (i.e., body-related cognitive distortions) associated with the imagin...

An acceptor hybridoma with a receptor that recognizes the keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific suppressor T cell factor (KLH-TsF) was established after the fusion of C57BL/6 splenic T cells enriched with KLH-coated petri dishes. The cloned hybridoma (34S-281) could be specifically activated by stimulation with the conventional KLH-TsF or monoclonal KLH-TsF from three different hybridomas in...

OBJECTIVE To explore triceps skinfold (TSF) compressibility and its associated factors among hospitalized patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among hospitalized adult patients. Evolution of tissue compressibility during two seconds was registered and 120 TSF values were obtained using a digital calliper. Compressibility was determined according to the difference between th...

Structurally and functionally distinct F-actin pools coexist with globular (G)-actin in a variety of eukaryotic cells, including polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). In PMNs. a Triton-soluble F-actin pool (TSF) exists as short cytoplasmic filaments capped with gelsolin, while Triton-insoluble F-actin (TIF) is a three-dimensional meshwork of F-actin associated with actin-binding protein 280 (ABP...

Cellular events mediated by antigen-specific soluble factor extracted from carrier-primed suppressor T cells (TsF) in the suppressive interaction was studied. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific TsF directly acts on KLH-primed, I-J positive, nylon-wool-adherent T cells that have an acceptor site for TsF. The nylon-wool-adherent T cells, after accepting TsF in the presence of specific antig...

This article proposes a Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy (TSF) controller for vector control method applied in three-phase induction motor control. The conventional vector control method has two PI current controllers. With the aim to reduce the quantity of these controllers, it is proposed a unique fuzzy controller to substitute both PI controllers. The performance of the proposed TSF controller is analyze...

The GAT-specific suppressor T-cell factor (GAT-TsF) extracted from lymphoid cells from GAT-primed, nonresponder DBA/1 mice has been partially characterized. It is a protein that has affinity for GAT and determinants encoded by the I region of the H-2 complex. On the basis of specificity and avidity, GAT-TsF resembles anti-GAT-MBSA antibodies produced by DBA/1 mice in spite of the fact that it i...

Suppressor T cells (Ts-1) induced with trinitrophenyl (TNP)-conjugated syngeneic spleen cells (TNP-SC) can be enriched on antigen-coated plates and are afferent suppressors. In addition, these suppressor cells produced soluble suppressor factors (TsF) that were active in vivo. Therefore, the Ts-1 cells in the TNP system are very similar to the Ts-1 cells in other systems we have studied earlier...
