The non-linearity and constantly changing cross section of the conical tank are the immense challenge in process control and it cannot be effectively controlled by the linear PID controllers. Hence, an attempt is made here to adapt the PI controller suitable to control the conical tank by two methods namely an adaptive PI controller and neural network based PI controller, which are designed by ...

Curative responses in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) are limited by the emergence of therapeutic resistance. To address this problem, we set out to identify druggable mechanisms that convey resistance to proteasome inhibitors (PIs; e.g., bortezomib), which are cornerstone agents in the treatment of MM. In isogenic pairs of PI sensitive and resistant cells, we observed stark differences ...

Phosphate (Pi) availability is a significant limiting factor for plant growth and productivity in both natural and agricultural systems. To cope with such limiting conditions, plants have evolved a myriad of developmental and biochemical strategies to enhance the efficiency of Pi acquisition and assimilation to avoid nutrient starvation. In the past decade, these responses have been studied in ...

Phosphate (Pi) limitation causes plants to modulate the architecture of their root systems to facilitate the acquisition of Pi. Previously, we reported that the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 regulates root architecture remodeling in response to Pi limitation; namely, the siz1 mutations cause the inhibition of primary root (PR) elongation and the promotion of lateral roo...

Destructive interference from phase fluctuations caused by motion during (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) stimulated-echo acquisition mode (STEAM) and point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) acquisitions can significantly diminish the traditional radicalN-gain in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) afforded by averaging N signals, especially in the torso. The SNR loss is highly variable among ind...

The aim of this study was to examine the acquisition long jump skill in elementary school children using augmented feedback varying type and frequency. Eighty-eight boys girls aged (mean ± SD) 11 0.5 years, without any prior experience acquisition, were assigned one four groups: (1) group receiving only verbal on key errors, (2) both video (3) all (4) no feedback. Before after an 8-week trainin...

Introduction: Measurement of proton transverse relaxation time (T2) can be used to detect pathological changes in tissue for a variety of clinical applications, including identification of edema and iron overload. The most widely used T2 mapping pulse sequence is the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence [1,2]. For body MRI, however, a CPMG pulse sequence is typically performed with navigat...

Abstract The present study investigated the effects of processing instruction (PI) on acquisition accusative case markers in German, focusing whether PI influences learners’ online behaviors. Third and fourth semester L1 English-L2 German learners were divided into two groups: a traditional (TI) group group. Participants completed offline sentence interpretation production tasks, as well self-p...

Background Deficiency of available forms of phosphorus is common in most soils and causes reduction of crop plants growth and yield. Recently, model plants responses to phosphate (Pi) deficiency have been intensively studied. However, acclimation mechanisms of cereals like oat (Avena sativa L.), to low Pi stress remains not fully understood. Oat plants have been usually cultured on poor soils, ...

for a ring endomorphism $alpha$ and an $alpha$-derivation $delta$, we introduce a concept, so called skew $pi$-armendariz ring, that is a generalization of both $pi$-armendariz rings, and $(alpha,delta)$-compatible skew armendariz rings. we first observe the basic properties of skew $pi$-armendariz rings, and extend the class of skew $pi$-armendariz rings through various ring extensions. we nex...
