In this study, we investigated the expression and activity of liver cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and praziquantel (PZQ) kinetics in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Swiss Webster (SW) mice of both genders were infected (100 cercariae) on postnatal day 10 and killed on post-infection days (PIDs) 30 or 55. Non-infected mice of the same age and sex served as controls. Regardless of mouse sex, in...

CONTEXT Persons displaced by armed conflicts, natural disasters or other events are at increased risk for health problems. The Republic of Georgia has a substantial population of internally displaced women who may face elevated risks of STIs and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). METHODS The 1999 Georgia Reproductive Health Survey was used to examine the prevalence of self-reported STI and PI...

This study on the design of PID controllers for flexible single-arm robot system optimizationPSO method is focused so that the coefficients of the PID controller are reduced. In this study,PID controller and PSO algorithm have been described and then by using MATLAB, PIDcontrol was simulated. Then by PSO algorithm, attempts to reduce the PID coefficients are givenby simulation. Finally PID coef...

We present a simple global asymptotic stability analysis, by using passivity theory for a class of nonlinear PID regulators for robot manipulators. Nonlinear control structures based on the classical PID controller, which assure global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, have emerged. Some works that deal with global nonlinear PID regulators based on Lyapunov theory have been report...

In this review, the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are discussed from a USA perspective and the difficulties that USA adolescents face in recognizing and seeking care for PID and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are emphasized. Females aged 15-24 years have the highest incidence of cervical infection with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisser...

Nearly all modern process actuators (valves, agitators, heaters, motors, etc.) and process meters are electronic, which makes them easily integrated into Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) based control systems. PID control is at the heart of many processes, and it’s important to get it right. When designing a process system, it can be helpful to test and refine PID algorithms before the eq...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to explore the association between resistance and outpatient antibiotic use, expressed as either DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day (DID) or packages per 1000 inhabitants per day (PID). METHODS IMS Health data on outpatient penicillin and cephalosporin (β-lactam) and tetracycline, macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin (TMLS) use, aggregated at the ...

Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in engineering applications such that more than half of the industrial controllers are PID controllers. There are many methods for tuning the PID parameters in the literature. In this paper an intelligent technique based on eXtended Classifier System (XCS) is presented to tune the PID controller parameters. The PID controlle...

In this paper a PID controller is designed and it’s implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) by two method: in first method PID controller is designed in time domain and in second method PID is designed in frequency domain (Z domain) and final two method compare together. The filter that designed in time domain is more accurate than other method.
