Manipulator endpoint location autonomous control procedures are suggested. A method of uplimited control hierarchy has been designed, which allows to provide a desired tracking precision under conditions of uncertainty of the control object operator and the effect of external unmeasured disturbances. Sliding mode state observers synthesis procedures have been designed, which allow, in a theoret...

The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is described by fuzzy if-then rules which represent local linear systems of the underlining nonlinear systems (Takagi & Sugeno, 1985; Tanaka et al., 1996; Tanaka & Sugeno, 1992) and thus it can describe a wide class of nonlinear systems. In the last decade, nonlinear control design methods based on Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system have been explored. Since the stability ...

Observational studies suggesting that some drugs are effective at reducing mortality may have been subject to "immeasurable time bias" arising from the unidentified presence of hospitalizations when defining drug exposure with computerized health databases. The author illustrates the bias using a case-control study of 1,313 deaths and 1,313 controls selected from a cohort of 2,049 patients with...

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a public funded project that aims to catalogue and discover major cancer-causing genomic alterations to create a comprehensive "atlas" of cancer genomic profiles. So far, TCGA researchers have analysed large cohorts of over 30 human tumours through large-scale genome sequencing and integrated multi-dimensional analyses. Studies of individual cancer types, as we...

This case describes a patient with advanced dementia and an unrealistic spouse, presenting an apparent dilemma about nutrition for physicians. By eliciting the perspective of the caregiver, the physicians can gain insight and rebuild trust that protects the interests of both the patient and the spouse. Their goal needs to shift from resolving the professional ethical dilemma to affirming the im...
