Th is paper provides an economic analysis of a proposed zoning change that will enable the City of Treasure Island, Florida, to attract more tourists. Th e proposed zoning change would result in hotel renovations and new hotel construction in Treasure Island, Florida. Th e study uses tax analysis to see how the change would increase taxable property values as well as increase revenues from the ...

FEATHERS is an activity-based micro-simulation modeling framework used for transport demand forecasting. Currently, this framework is implemented for the Flanders region of Belgium and the most detailed travel demand data can be obtained at the Subzone level, which consists of 2,386 virtual units with an average area of 5.8 km. In this study, we investigated the transferability of applying the ...

Objective Most women with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection are asymptomatic, while ~3% progress to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) within two weeks of untreated infection. The identification of biomarkers that predict development of PID would aid in identification of women at risk for complications of infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The specific aim of this study was to identify a whol...

Objective of this paper is to design various controllers for a temperature process control. PID controller is the well known and most widely used in the industries. Internal Model Control (IMC) has become the leading form of advanced control in the process industry. Modified form of IMC-PID and Fuzzy PID Controllers are designed for First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPTD) process model. The comparat...

To investigate the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and endometrial cancer (EC).We conducted a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study, and data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. We defined 41,065 patients with PID as the PID cohort and 82,130 randomly selected patients as the control cohort through frequency matching by age ...

Abstract— This paper presents the model of a static VAR compensator (SVC) which is controlled externally by a Proportional Integral Differential (PID) controller for the improvements of voltage stability and damping effect of an on line power system. The PID controller parameters has been selected by using Ziegler-Nichols tuning rule method. Both single phase and three phase faults have been co...

This paper presents an application of Text Zoning to the ACL Anthology. Text Zoning is known to be useful to characterize the content of papers, especially in the scientific domain. We show that recent techniques based on weakly supervised learning obtain excellent results on the ACL Anthology. Although these kinds of techniques is known in the domain, it is the first time it is applied to the ...

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...

For applications with large data sets, e.g., video servers, magnetic disks have established themselves as the mass storage device of choice. A technique to increase the storage capacity of disks is zoning. A side-eeect of zoning is that it introduces a disk drive with variable transfer rates. This chapter describes techniques to support a continuous display of constant-bit rate video and audio ...
