Extensive fMRI study of human lateral frontal cortex (LFC) has yet to yield a consensus mapping between discrete anatomy and psychological states, partly due to the difficulty of inferring mental states from brain activity. Despite this, there have been few large-scale efforts to map the full range of psychological states across the entirety of LFC. Here, we used a data-driven approach to gener...

In this paper, determining the optimal proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller gains of an single-area load frequency control (LFC) system using genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. The LFC is notoriously difficult to control optimally using conventionally tuning a PID controller because the system parameters are constantly changing. It is for this reason the GA as tuning strategy was ...

Reserve in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is defined as maintaining cognition at a relatively high level in the presence of neurodegeneration, an ability often associated with higher education among other life factors. Recent evidence suggests that higher resting-state functional connectivity within the frontoparietal control network, specifically the left frontal cortex (LFC) hub, contribu...

Laminar flow control (LFC) is one of the key enabling technologies for quiet and efficient supersonic aircraft. Recent work at Arizona State University has led to the development of a novel concept for passive LFC on crossflow dominated flow configurations. It employs distributed leading-edge roughness to limit the growth of naturally dominant instabilities that would otherwise lead to an earli...

a new multi-stage fuzzy (msf) controller based on multi-objective harmony search algorithm (mohsa) is proposed in this paper to solve the load frequency control (lfc) problem of power systems in deregulated environment. lfc problem are caused by load perturbations, which continuously disturb the normal operation of power system. the objectives of lfc are to mini small size the transient deviati...

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as the hepatic manifestation of insulin resistance (IR) syndrome. The effect of insulin sensitizers on liver function tests and metabolic indices in NAFLD patients is a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to compare the effects of two different insulin sensitizers, pioglitazone, and metformin, on liver function t...

PURPOSE Iodinated contrast media (CM) and iron in the liver are known to hinder an accurate quantification of liver fat content (LFC) with single-energy computed tomography (SECT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of dual-energy CT (DECT) for ex vivo quantification of LFC, in the presence of iron and CM, compared with SECT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen p...

Load Frequency control (LFC) in power system is undergoing a lot of changes due to the rapidly growing demand and due to various renewable generation integration to the existing system. This work proposes an LFC scheme based on Fuzzy Logic Control for a hybrid wind-diesel power system. Therefore the objective of this LFC is to minimize system frequency deviations and tie line power changes. The...

Due to the complexity and diversity of large-scale power systems in practice, designing load-frequency control (LFC) strategies against load variations faces big challenges to ensure the stability and economy of the network. The focus of this paper is to design a novel adaptive PI-type fuzzy logic (FL)-based LFC architecture for solving the LFC problem in such an interconnected electric power g...
