Moderate wine consumption has been shown to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk, due to alcohol and polyphenolic compounds, such as resveratrol. We investigated the associations between total urinary resveratrol metabolites (TRMs) as biomarkers of wine and resveratrol consumption and CV risk factors in a large cross-sectional study including high CV risk individuals in Spain. We studied 1000 partic...

This paper presents a comparative study of fuzzy controller design for the twin rotor multi-input multioutput (MIMO) system (TRMS) considering most promising evolutionary techniques. These are gravitational search algorithm (GSA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC), and differential evolution (DE). In this study, the gains of four fuzzy proportional derivative (PD) c...

BACKGROUND Nutritional biomarkers may be better measures of dietary exposure than self-reported dietary data. We evaluated resveratrol metabolites, potential biomarkers of wine consumption, in humans after moderate consumption of sparkling, white, or red wines. METHODS We performed 2 randomized, crossover trials and a cohort study. In the first study, 10 healthy men consumed 30 g of ethanol/d...

Abstract: In this paper, the controller introduced represent, at the best knowledge of the authors, the first application of feedback linearization technique to control a Twin Rotor Multi-input Multi-output System (TRMS). With the coupling effects considered as the uncertainties, the highly coupled nonlinear TRMS is decomposed into a horizontal and a vertical subsystem. Then, two control laws a...

This paper presents a new intelligent control scheme which utilizes particle swarm optimization (PSO) for off-line tuning of proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller for the twin rotor multi-input multioutput system (TRMS). The control objective is to make the beam of the TRMS move quickly and accurately to the desired attitudes. The TRMS exhibits MIMO characteristics, high order non-li...

In this paper, a new decentralized adaptive control with modified Minimal Controller Synthesis MCS is proposed to position the beam of the Twin Rotor Multi-input multi-output System (TRMS) at the desired positions quickly and accurately. A new hyperstability based adaptive control technique, called decentralized Error-based minimal controller synthesis with integral action (DEr-MCSI), is develo...

Many languages of lowland South America mark remoteness distinctions in their TAM systems. In Amahuaca (Panoan; Peru) multiple are made the past and future. I argue that temporal morphemes (TRMs) can be understood as indications event time relative to utterance matrix environments. dependent clauses, however, picture is more complicated. By exploring adjunct switch-reference show TRMs clauses d...

This study presents the findings of an empirical channel characterisation for an ultra-wideband off-body optic fibre-fed multiple-antenna array within an office and corridor environment. The results show that for received power experiments, the office and corridor were best modelled by lognormal and Rician distributions, respectively [for both line of sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) scenarios]. ...

Abstract Macrophages are unique cells of the innate immunity and can be found in various tissues (tissue resident macrophages; TRMs). TRMs play a pivotal role tissue homeostasis contribute to onset progression certain diseases. We others have developed macrophage-based cellular immunotherapies explored field immune cell farming using induced pluripotent stem (iPSCs). Combination iPSCs bioreacto...

Mass spectrometry (MS) offers advantages over conventional spectroscopic assays because it enables structural determination of reactants while preserving temporal resolution. The ability to detect short-lived reaction intermediates or labile metabolites makes time-resolved MS (TRMS) measurements an enabling tool for studies of chemical reactions, chemical kinetics and biochemical dynamics. High...
