Servomotors have already been around for some decades and they are extremely popular among roboticists due to their simple control technique, reliability and low-cost. They are usually controlled by using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and this paper aims to keep the idea of simplicity and low-cost, while introducing a new control technique: Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM). The objective of this...

pomegranate fruit moth (pfm), apomyelois ceratoniae zeller is a major pest of pomegranate in iran. in this study, the effect of four diets including pistachio, pomegranate, semi-artificial and artificial diets were studied on biological parameters of pfm in a growth chamber under controlled conditions at 30 ± 2 °c, 65 ± 5% rh and 16:8 (l: d) h. the results demonstrated that the longest incubati...

We report a novel event-driven correlated double sampling (CDS) technique for pulse-frequencymodulation (PFM) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). PFM-ADCs are promising for pixel-parallel 3-D integrated image sensors with excellent imaging performance. The developed ADC with CDS consists of comparators, capacitors, and timing control logic circuits that are designed to generate the triggered c...

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus paracasei TMC0409, Streptococcus thermophilus TMC1543 and whey proteins were used to prepare fermented milk. For the experiment aP2- agouti transgenic mice were pre-treated with a high-sucrose/high-fat diet for 6 weeks to induce obesity. The obese mice were fed a diet containing 1·2% Ca and either non-fat dried milk (NFDM) or probiotic-fermented milk (P...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Studies concerning the effects of post-core design and ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth remain controversial. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro the effects of post-core design and ferrule on the fracture resistance of root canal treated human maxillary central incisors restored with metal ceramic crowns. MATE...

Résumé. Cet article traite de la représentation formelle de la morphologie des noms et des verbes de l’ikota, langue bantoue du Gabon. J’utilise la notion de classes de position (CP) de la PMF (Paradigm Function Morphology), théorie morphologique qui s’intéresse à la flexion. Les noms et les verbes seront représentés en fonction de leurs CP. Ce procédé sera réutilisé dans le langage XMG (eXtens...

AIMS The pubococcygeal line (PCL) is an important reference line for determining measures of pelvic organ support on sagittal-plane magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, there is no consensus on where to place the posterior point of the PCL. As coccyx movement produced during pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contractions may affect other measures, optimal placement of the posterior point is impor...

Debates persist on the effectiveness of externally driven Public Finance Management (PFM) reforms in developing countries, with limited empirical research and field investigations Central Asian region. This study collected evidence through Solution Leader Driven Change (SLDC) Problem Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) theoretical framework explanations, policy documents review, interview survey result...

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) influences quality of life in female patients. In this study, we used ICIQ LUTS QoL (The International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms quality of life) to determine the quality of life (QoL) in various domains in patients with stage 1 SUI. The study included 140 perimenopausal women subjected to urodynamic tests at the Depar...

MOTIVATION Transcription factors (TFs) play a key role in gene regulation by binding to target sequences. In silico prediction of potential binding of a TF to a binding site is a well-studied problem in computational biology. The binding sites for one TF are represented by a position frequency matrix (PFM). The discovery of new PFMs requires the comparison to known PFMs to avoid redundancies. I...
