The result of empirical testing of forensic DNA match probabilities for Croatia is reported. It is concluded that if consideration is given to relatedness and subpopulation effects the model of Balding and Nichols appears to give very good predictions.

Abstract Let $\mathcal{B}_{\mathfrak{q}}$ be a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra of diagonal type with braiding matrix $\mathfrak{q}$, $\mathcal{L}_{\mathfrak{q}}$ the corresponding Lusztig as in [ 4], and $\operatorname{Fr}_{\mathfrak{q}}: \mathcal{L}_{\mathfrak{q}} \to U(\mathfrak{n}^{\mathfrak{q}})$ quantum Frobenius map 5]. We prove that Lie $\mathfrak{n}^{\mathfrak{q}}$ is either 0 or pos...

Ultrathin sections of Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain), T. denticola (microdentium), and T. reiteri have been studied in the electron microscope to determine the location of the axial filaments and some of the dimensions of these organisms. The axial filaments of T. pallidum (Nichols strain) have been seen to be tubular in cross section with an overall diameter of 21.0 +/- 0.73 nm, and an el...

Equation Chapter 1 Section 1 Abstract— The concept of PID controllers (proportional integral derivative) belongs to the most frequently used principles of controlling in industrial and non-industrial applications. The process of setting of PID controller can be determined as optimization task. Requiring optimal settings of PID controller we can specify more goals of optimization which are ofte...

Tuning of PI control algorithms for coupled multi input multi output (MIMO) systems is a challenging problem. This paper extends a previously developed model-based adaptive tuning method to handle the tuning problem of coupled multivariable systems. The performance of the proposed method is compared to those of existing methods such as Biggest Log Modulus (BLT), Sequential Loop Closing (SLC) an...

Matlab-SIMULINK based real time temperature control of oven using different kinds of auto-tuning PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) methods is presented in this paper. Ziegler Nichols Step Response Method (P,PI), Relay Tuning Method (P,PI) and Integral Square Time Error (ISTE) disturbance criterion (PI) method are used to control temperature of the experiment set. Controller parameters are ...

Brushless direct current motors are widely used in many industries because of their high efficiency and long-life. This paper presents the application adaptive Tabu Search algorithm for system identification PID speed controller design to provide best output performance compared with those designed using well-known tuning method, Ziegler–Nichols approach. The proposed technique shows that inclu...

Optimum parameters for retention of motility of Treponema pallidum (Nichols virulent strain) were found by anaerobic co-incubation of the treponeme with rat glial cells and anaerobic incubation in spent medium obtained from glial cells originally grown aerobically.
