Etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings have long hypocotyls and closed yellow cotyledons (skotomorphogenesis); however, light-grown plants exhibit short hypocotyls and opened green cotyledons (photomorphogenesis) (1). It has been revealed that E3 ubiquitin ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) is a central negative regulator for plant photomorphogenesis. COP1 directly targets a plethora of t...

This paper presents an implementation of self-tuned PID controller (FPID) for speed control of DC motor based on LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench Environment). The algorithms of fuzzy PID controller (FPID) and conventional PID controller (CPID) are implemented using PID and Fuzzy Logic simulation toolkits of the Lab View environment. The simulation results demonstrat...

A Maglev system was modeled by the exact feedback linearization to achieve two same linear subsystems. The proportional-integral-differential controllers (PID) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with four different inertia weights were then used to regulate both linear subsystems. These different inertia weights were Fixed Inertia Weight (FIW), Linear Descend Inertia Weight (L...

Pathway Interaction Database (PID) (http://pid.nci.nih.gov/) provides interaction data of pathways in several formats (XML and BioPAX). Here we parsed the PID XML format data (ftp://ftp1.nci.nih.gov/pub/PID/XML/). Data stored in PID XML file can be divided into four levels: pathway level, interaction level, node level and gene/compound level. The relationship between four levels is visualized i...

Our objective is to apply the fractional PID controller to enhance the system control performances. Unlike Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller, there is no systematic and yet rigor design or tuning method existing for this PID controller. In this paper a method to design PID controller is presented. The basic ideas of the tuning method are based, in the first place, on the convent...

Editorial Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most important complication of sexually transmitted chlamydial infections, causing major medical, social, and economic problems. PID is an ascending infection, with well over half of the cases caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), or both. However, other microorganisms representing abnormal vaginal flora, such as tho...

This article presents the experimental results when comparing the Controllers PID Classic, Nonlinear PID and Fuzzy Gain Scheduling PID used in position controllers, for the tuning of the Classical PID was used the second method
