The antilock braking system (ABS) is designed to optimize braking effectiveness and maintain steerability; however, the ABS performance will be degraded in the case of severe road conditions. In this study, a self-learning fuzzy sliding-mode control (SLFSMC) design method is proposed for ABS. The SLFSMC ABS will modulate the brake torque for optimum braking. The SLFSMC system is comprised of a ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of a folkloric medicinal plant extract (Ankaferd Blood Stopper [ABS]) with that of oxidized cellulose (Surgicel) in a life-threatening renal injury model. ABS is a mixture of 5 plants that has historically been used in Turkish traditional medicine. It has been approved by the Ministry of Health to manage external hemorrhage and dental surgery bleeding in Turke...

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system for vehicles which will allow controlling wheels of vehicle and providing safety contact on road surface according to driver braking input, avoiding uncontrolled skidding and also preventing the wheels from locking up. The main task of ABS is to press and release the brakes almost 15 times a second, so process of stopping the vehicle...

In this paper, a new class of generalized separation axioms (briefly, g-Tg-separation axioms) whose elements are called g-Tg,K, g-Tg,F, g-Tg,H, g-Tg,R, g-Tg,N-axioms is defined in terms sets g-Tg-sets) topological spaces Tg-spaces) and the properties characterizations Tg-space endowed with each such discussed. The study shows that g-Tg,F-axiom implies g-Tg,K-axiom, g-Tg,H-axiom g-Tg,F-axiom, g-...

BACKGROUND Superficial vein thrombophlebitis is the common vascular symptom in Behçet disease and is characterized as erythema nodosum-like eruptions. Some studies have reported the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs) in patients with Behçet disease. OBSERVATIONS We measured lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I, and antiphosphatidylserine-prothrombin com...

Human antibodies (Abs) elicited by influenza viruses often bind with a high affinity to past influenza virus strains, but paradoxically, do not bind to the viral strain actually eliciting the response. This phenomena is called 'original antigenic sin' (OAS) since this can occur at the expense of generating new de novo Abs. Here, we characterized the specificity and functionality of Abs elicited...

BACKGROUND Thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements are complicated by interference from Tg autoantibodies (TgAbs) or heterophilic antibodies (HAMAs). We used a new automated immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) with Tg recovery (TgR) on the Nichols Advantage platform to reassess the clinical utility of recovery testing in detecting interference in serum Tg measurement in patients with differentiated th...

type 1 diabetes mellitus is frequently associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (atd).genetic susceptibility for autoantibody formation in association with atd and type 1 diabetes mellitus has been described with varying frequencies, but there is still debate about its prevailing situation in iran.  we have therefore investigated the prevalence of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-tpo) and anti t...

The ABS methods, introduced by Abaffy, Broyden and Spedicato, are direct iteration methods for solving a linear system where the ith iterate satisfies the first i equations, therefore a system of m equations is solved in at most m steps. Recently, we have presented a new approach to devise a class of ABS-type methods for solving full row rank systems [K. Amini, N. Mahdavi-Amiri, M. R. Peyghami,...
