to discrete-time systems. Specifically, several modifications to the closed-loop discrete-time Lyapunov equation are proposed that guarantee that the compensator dynamics are stable. Using fixed-structure controller optimiztion techniques sufficient conditions for stable compensators with suboptimal H a performance can readily be derived. designing continuous-time stable dynamic compensators z(...

Key experimental results are compared with the results of EQPET/TSC models. Screening energy for d-d pair by theory is 360 eV and is comparable with 310 eV by Kasagi experiment for PdDx. Helium-4 production with scarce neutron is modeled by strong 4D fusion of minimum state 4d/TSC reaction. Maximum level of 4d/TSC fusion is 46 MW/cc-Pd and 23 keV/Pd, comparable to 24.8 keV/Pd by El Boher experi...

This paper gives explanation on the basic physics of cold fusion by the TSC (tetrahedral symmetric condensate) theory. Models of TSC formation conditions in condensed matter are first proposed. Secondly formulas for cold fusion rates per D(H)-cluster are explained with typical quantitative results. The 4D/TSC fusion and the 4H/TSC WS fusion are answers, respectively for the D (deuterium)system ...

Technetium-99m-sulfur colloid (TSC) was administered to 45 renal transplant patients. No TSC accumulation was seen in normally functioning transplant kidneys. Accumulation of TSC was found in 89% of transplants with rejection, in 30% of transplants exhibiting acute tubular necrosis, and in 30% of transplants of patients with sepsis. Renal accumulation of TSC in various transplant complications ...

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare, auto-somal dominant, hereditary neurocutaneous syndrome, in which hamartomas develop in various organs. Cutaneous features and computed tomography (CT) findings are of great value in the diagnosis of TSC. The present study reported an unusual case of multiple organ abnormalities in a patient with TSC. Radiological findings indicated the presence of ce...

BACKGROUND Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a multisystem disorder encompassing a wide spectrum of pathological renal lesions. Renal involvement is commonly asymptomatic but can result in significant morbidity, and renal failure has been reported. The risk of renal failure in patients with TSC in the UK has not been defined. METHODS A survey of the 170 members of the European Dialysis and Transpla...

We describe a reversed halo sign in a teenage girl with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Lung manifestations of TSC include lung cysts corresponding to lymphangioleiomyomatosis and small nodules indicating multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH). However, a reversed halo sign in TSC has never been reported. The lesion was microscopically consistent with MMPH. Immunohistological f...

In this study, retentive forces were compared between telescopic crowns (TSC) made with poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) using computer-aided design and manufacturing type 4 gold alloy the conventional method. The of TSCs evaluated by performing a pull-out test primary secondary crowns. Initial force was approximately 12 N for both PEEK TSCs. TSC 6.5 after 10,000 cycles insertion removal. reduct...

Background DAMOCLES established a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) Charter which has been widely used for RCTs. The DMC is typically advisory and makes recommendations to another executive body; the Trial Steering Committee (TSC). Despite the executive role of the TSC over the DMC, the CONSORT statement doesn’t explicitly require reporting of TSC activity although TSCs are included as an example...

BACKGROUND The independent oversight of clinical trials, which is recommended by the Medical Research Council (MRC) Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, is typically provided by an independent advisory Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) and an independent executive committee, to whom the DMC makes recommendations. The detailed roles and function of this executive committee, known as the Trial St...
