Morbidity and mortality for critically ill patients with infections remains a global healthcare problem. We aimed to determine whether β-lactam antibiotic dosing in achieves concentrations associated maximal activity affect patient outcome.This was prospective, multinational pharmacokinetic point-prevalence study including 8 antibiotics. Two blood samples were taken from each during single interval. The primary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets free above the minimum inhibitory...
This paper discusses the main characteristics and presents a comparative analysis of three synchronization algorithms based respectively, on phase-locked loop, Kalman filter discrete Fourier transform. It will be described single three-phase models first two methods single-phase model third one. Details how to modify filtering properties or dynamic response each algorithm discussed in terms their design parameters. In order compare different algorithms, these parameters set for maximum...

This paper deals with the design and analysis of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer output voltage control. Such control is based on multiloop strategy, an inner current PID regulator outer P+Resonant controller. The applied inductor current. It will be also demonstrated how load behavior may influence in DVR voltage, which justifies need for resonant Additionally, it discussed application modified algorithm identification references, previously presented positive sequence detector.

The quadratic distance function on a Riemannian manifold can be expressed in terms of the position vector, which turn constructed using geodesic normal coordinates through consideration exponential map. formulas for derivative are useful to study Lyapunov stability dynamical systems, and build cost functions optimal control estimation.
In 2012, Brasil had a proved reserve of 15.3 billions BOE (barrel oil equivalent). The offshore corresponds to more 94% this amount. Petrobras, the Brasilian E&P company, leads production in ultra-deep water (deeper than 1500 m depth) worldwide. current waters deploys Floating Production Unit (FPU), and some subsea equipments, such as, wet Christmas trees, manifolds, separation & booster systems, risers pipelines. However, on board FPU, there are several other namely, power generators,...
The goal of this paper is to present a different approach the analysis absolute stability Lurie type systems in single-input-single-output (SISO) case using robust control theory. proposed technique enables design controllers via [Formula: see text] mixed-sensitivity (S/KS/T), where, besides making system absolutely stable, performance problem can also be solved. In addition, it demonstrated that possible make use new time-delay systems. Thus, through methodology, work paves way study...
<p>Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative neurological condition that impacts millions of individuals across the globe and remains without healing. In search for new possibilities treatments this terrible disease, work presents improved Alzheimer-like (IALD) model connects it to control technique establishes computationally modeled memory healing similar AD. The modeling proceeds from recent etiological pathogenetic hypotheses AD related amyloid precursor protein (APP). For IALD...
A major concern in practical applications of wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) is the energy expenditure devices. There must be a tradeoff between performance requirement for fast updates and battery lifetime sensors. This article presents new adaptive controller efficiency industrial WNCSs. Reducing frequency transmission allows reduction power devices WNCS.
