BACKGROUND/AIM Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are effective in the treatment of kidney disease; however, the side effect of hyperkalaemia, particularly in the context of renal impairment, is a major limitation to their clinical use. Recently developed non-steroidal MRAs have distinct characteristics suggesting that they may be superior to steroidal MRAs. Therefore, we e...

The paper presents a model-based design method for fault diagnosis (detection and isolation) and fault-tolerant control (FDI/FTC).The design is based on pole placement of input-output models. Furthermore, the design of an output feedback controller is divided into two independent design tasks: a generalized state and fault observer design and a fault feedforward and state feedback design.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at ultra-high fields (UHF), such as 7 T, provides an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and has led to unprecedented high-resolution anatomic images and brain activation maps. Although a variety of radio frequency (RF) coil architectures have been developed for imaging at UHF conditions, they usually are specialized for small volumes of interests (VoI). So far, whol...

Induction machines are more rugged, compact, cheap and reliable in comparison to other machines used in similar applications. Vector controlled induction motor drive outperforms the dc motor drive because of higher transient current capability, increased speed range and lower rotor inertia. Sensors widely used in electric drives degrade the reliability of the system especially in hostile enviro...

steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. this paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

This paper seeks to analyse stability and dynamics of back EMF MRAS based approach used in sensorless control of induction motors. Stability analysis is investigated to show unstable zones and it is explored using a state representation. A new rotor speed estimator is designed to achieve the stability in the various operating modes except for the inobservability line. c ⃝ 2015 International Ass...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic repair of type II superior labrum from anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions is a common surgical procedure. However, anatomic healing following repair has rarely been investigated. The intraobserver and interobserver reliability of magnetic resonance imaging arthrography (MRA) following type II SLAP repair has not previously been investigated. This is of particular inter...

A speed estimation method is presented in this paper for a grid-connected doubly-fed slipring induction machine drive. The proposed method is formulated with reactive power based model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The method does not require the estimation of stator/rotor flux. So, the integrator related problems at synchronous speed are overcome. Also, the estimation method is independent...

Breast cancer is classified into different subtypes that are associated with different patient survival outcomes, underscoring the importance of understanding the role of precursor cell and genetic alterations in determining tumor subtypes. In this study, we evaluated the oncogenic phenotype of two distinct mammary stem/progenitor cell types designated as K5+/K19- or K5+/K19+ upon introduction ...
