The paper discusses about the Choquet Fuzzy Integral (CFI) based identification and control of a Real Time Dynamical System. The plant is modeled using Choquet fuzzy Integral based Neural Network with Gradient Descent as learning algorithm. This model is used for designing and simulating CFI based controller. Then this designed controller is implemented on real time system through MATLAB. Final...

A discussion of the 1988 conference of the International Pc.litical Science Association (IPSA) along with a report on the meaning of the IPSA for the Dutch National Institute for Curr_LctUum Development (SLO) are presented in this document. Part 1 includes: general information on the aims, structure, and activities of the IPSA; a description of the 14th World Congress with its special themes an...

BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the variation in collateral formation between patients, even with similar patterns of coronary artery disease, remain unclear. This study investigates whether circulating humoral or cellular factors can provide an insight into this variation. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty patients with isolated left anterior descending coronary artery disease underwent percut...

Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is an attractive security property with which most injected and code reuse attacks can be defeated, including advanced attacking techniques like Return-Oriented Programming (ROP). However, comprehensive enforcement of CFI is expensive due to additional supports needed (e.g., compiler support and presence of relocation or debug information) and performance overhead. ...

Return-oriented programming (ROP) offers a robust attack technique that has, not surprisingly, been extensively used to exploit bugs in modern software programs (e.g., web browsers and PDF readers). ROP attacks require no code injection, and have already been shown to be powerful enough to bypass fine-grained memory randomization (ASLR) defenses. To counter this ingenious attack strategy, sever...

BACKGROUND The prognostic relevance of the collateral circulation is still controversial. The goal of this study was to assess the impact on survival of quantitatively obtained, recruitable coronary collateral flow in patients with stable coronary artery disease during 10 years of follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight-hundred forty-five individuals (age, 62+/-11 years), 106 patients without co...

OBJECTIVE To expand the limited information on the prognostic impact of quantitatively obtained collateral function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to estimate causality of such a relation. DESIGN Prospective cohort study with long-term observation of clinical outcome. SETTING University Hospital. PATIENTS One thousand one hundred and eighty-one patients with chronic st...

During transcription elongation, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binds the general elongation factor Spt5. Spt5 contains a repetitive C-terminal region (CTR) that is required for cotranscriptional recruitment of the Paf1 complex (D. L. Lindstrom et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 23:1368-1378, 2003; Z. Zhang, J. Fu, and D. S. Gilmour, Genes Dev. 19:1572-1580, 2005). Here we report a new role of the Spt5 CTR i...

Although aberrant complement activation is involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the role of complement regulatory proteins in disease activity of SLE remains limited. We enrolled the pediatric-onset SLE patients from our cohort study over 10 years. The clinical and laboratory data including SLEDAI disease activity score, and serum complement factor H (CFH), CFI, C...

During transcription, the nascent pre-mRNA undergoes a series of processing steps before being exported to the cytoplasm. The 3'-end processing machinery involves different proteins, this function being crucial to cell growth and viability in eukaryotes. Here, we found that the rna14-1, rna15-1, and hrp1-5 alleles of the cleavage factor I (CFI) cause sensitivity to UV-light in the absence of gl...
