BACKGROUND The 10 warning signs of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) have been promoted by various organizations in Europe and the United States to predict PID. However, the ability of these warning signs to identify children with PID has not been rigorously tested. OBJECTIVE The main goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of these 10 warning signs in predicting defined P...

Objective Most women with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection are asymptomatic, while ~3% progress to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) within two weeks of untreated infection. The identification of biomarkers that predict development of PID would aid in identification of women at risk for complications of infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The specific aim of this study was to identify a whol...

Objective of this paper is to design various controllers for a temperature process control. PID controller is the well known and most widely used in the industries. Internal Model Control (IMC) has become the leading form of advanced control in the process industry. Modified form of IMC-PID and Fuzzy PID Controllers are designed for First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPTD) process model. The comparat...

To investigate the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and endometrial cancer (EC).We conducted a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study, and data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. We defined 41,065 patients with PID as the PID cohort and 82,130 randomly selected patients as the control cohort through frequency matching by age ...

Abstract— This paper presents the model of a static VAR compensator (SVC) which is controlled externally by a Proportional Integral Differential (PID) controller for the improvements of voltage stability and damping effect of an on line power system. The PID controller parameters has been selected by using Ziegler-Nichols tuning rule method. Both single phase and three phase faults have been co...

Etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings have long hypocotyls and closed yellow cotyledons (skotomorphogenesis); however, light-grown plants exhibit short hypocotyls and opened green cotyledons (photomorphogenesis) (1). It has been revealed that E3 ubiquitin ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) is a central negative regulator for plant photomorphogenesis. COP1 directly targets a plethora of t...

This paper presents an implementation of self-tuned PID controller (FPID) for speed control of DC motor based on LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench Environment). The algorithms of fuzzy PID controller (FPID) and conventional PID controller (CPID) are implemented using PID and Fuzzy Logic simulation toolkits of the Lab View environment. The simulation results demonstrat...
