background: the goal was to upgrade and/or uprate the traditional non-contact array by producing few modifications in the configuration of this model in order to maximize light receiving of water from the uv lamp and a better disinfection.  methods: an innovative non-contact model was made with a design based on irradiation of water, which was flowing as two thin waterfalls around a uv lamp in ...

model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. in this paper, the direct adaptive simplified model predictive control (smpc) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. by estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...

this study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, nigeria and the live weights were modeled. biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the logistic,...

Introduction: In the POLARIX study, pts with previously untreated DLBCL were randomized to Pola-R-CHP or R-CHOP (NCT03274492; Tilly et al., 2022). We validated prognostic value of ctDNA at baseline and after one cycle therapy in (Herrera 2022); here, we evaluate relationship between clearance PFS OS. Methods: Pts included if longitudinal results available. Plasma was measured baseline, Cycle (C...

Background Patients (pts) suffering from a chronic rheumatic condition, such as axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and receiving immunosuppressive treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic have been shown to be at higher risk of severe disease outcomes. The German non-interventional study AQUILA provides real-world data in pts with axSpA under secukinumab (SEC) influence vaccination on activity (DA)...

Introduction: The lymphoma microenvironment contributes to clinical treatment outcome. Previously, we showed that enrichment in M1 macrophages was associated with improved outcome patients diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) treated rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP; Yan et al., 2020). In the POLARIX study (NCT03274492), polatuzumab vedotin combination r...
