Industry applications mainly use linear PID algorithms might deliver an insufficient performance dealing with nonlinear operating systems. A fuzzy PID controller results in a nonlinear control surface which can be adjusted to a controlled plant by rule based modification, nonlinear membership function application and inference rule selection. The tuning process is one of the most difficult step...

This paper proposes a novel adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) for the multi-objective optimization design of a fractional PID controller and applies it to the control of an active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. Different from PID controllers with three constants, the fractional PID controller’s parameters are composed of proportional constant, integral constant, derivative constant, derivative o...

BACKGROUND With the publication of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), an alternative model for personality disorders based on personality dysfunction and pathological personality traits was introduced. The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is a 220-item self-report inventory designed to assess the personality traits of this model. Recen...

PURPOSE Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common disorder of the reproductive tract that is frequently misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. PID and its complications, such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain, are preventable by screening asymptomatic patients for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and promptly treating individuals with STIs and PID. RECENT FI...

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and more specifically salpingitis (visually confirmed inflammation) is the primary cause of tubal factor infertility and is an important risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. The risk of these outcomes increases following repeated episodes of PID. We developed a homogenous discrete-time Markov model for the distribution of PID history in the UK. We used a Bayesian...

In this paper, we examine a design method of modified PID (Proportional-IntegralDerivative) controllers for multiple-input/multiple-output plants. PID controller structure is the most widely used one in industrial applications. Recently the parametrization of all stabilizing PID controller has been considered. Yamada and Hagiwara proposed a design method of modified PID controllers such that mo...

Polar transport of the plant hormone auxin is controlled by PIN- and ABCB/PGP-efflux catalysts. PIN polarity is regulated by the AGC protein kinase, PINOID (PID), while ABCB activity was shown to be dependent on interaction with the FKBP42, TWISTED DWARF1 (TWD1). Using co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and shotgun LC-MS/MS analysis, we identified PID as a valid partner in the interaction with TWD1...

Parallel robots exhibit good performance in terms of rigidity, accuracy, and dynamic characteristics. However, parallel robots have complex configurations and their dynamic model is highly nonlinear, and conventional PID controllers are not sufficiently robust for their motion control. In this paper, we have investigated the intelligent control of a hydraulically driven parallel robot based on ...

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,...

This paper presents the comparison of tracking control performance of fuzzy PI Controller with fuzzy PID and conventional PID controllers. Fuzzy PI controller and Fuzzy PID controller composes of Mamdani type fuzzy controllers and parameters are adjusted to meet the desired control system performances both in transient state and steady state. Computer simulations are done for controlling the ti...
