This article presents the application of model predictive control (MPC) in high-performance drives. A wide variety machines have been considered: Induction machines, synchronous linear motors, switched reluctance and multiphase machines. The these has done by introducing minor easy-to-understand modifications to basic concept, showing high flexibility simplicity strategy. second part is dedicat...

Background: Many instruments used to assess outcomes of treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have no published evidence of their relevance and content validity in earlier stages of the disease, i.e., mild cognitive impairment, or prodromal AD (pAD). The objective of this project was to evaluate the applicability and usefulness of the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ) as an outcome measur...

Methylation of the fifth carbon of cytosine was the first epigenetic modification to be discovered in DNA. Recently, three new DNA modifications have come to light: hydroxymethylcytosine, formylcytosine, and carboxylcytosine, all generated by oxidation of methylcytosine by Ten Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes. These modifications can initiate full DNA demethylation, but they are also likely t...

conclusions penetrating trauma from wooden fragments provides a diagnostic challenge. a stubborn discharge from a wound must always raise the suspicion of retained fragment. early and appropriate surgical exploration is imperative. introduction in contrast with victims of major trauma, patients who suffer minor injuries receive little specialist input. in most cases, this causes no difficulty, ...

introduction and objective: zinc as the second trace element of the human body plays an important role in numerous functions. a large number of research studies have showed serum zinc deficiency and excess urinary excretion in patients with major beta thalassemia, but few studies revealed excess urinary zinc excretion in minor beta thalassemia and no study investigated serum zinc levels in this...

We describe our cover song detection system, as submitted to the MIREX 2007 Cover Song Detection evaluation. The system is developed from our 2006 MIREX system, which was the best-performing entry in last year’s evaluation. Using the new “covers80” dataset of 80 pairs of songs and covers, we improve the overall detection from 42.5% to 67.5% through a collection of minor modifications relating t...

The paper reviews those properties of RadViz visualization method [2] mapping data from n dimensional space into the plane which are important for identification of clusters in the multidimensional original data. It uses 2 characteristic examples of datasets which clearly point to a certain drawback of the original RadViz mapping. The identified problem can be resolved using 2 minor modificatio...
