Clinical Validation of a Highly Sensitive GC-MS Platform for Routine Urine Drug Screening and Real-Time Reporting of up to 212 Drugs by Hari Nair, Fred Woo, Andrew N. Hoofnagle, Geoffrey S. Baird

“…The platform uses a programmable temperature vaporizer (PTV) injector for large sample volume injection and the free software Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System (AMDIS) for data reduction and spectral matching that facilitates rapid library searching and analyte identification. Method comparison with 118 patient samples demonstrated that this platform and data searching algorithm independently provided improvements in sensitivity compared to an established GC-MS platform. …”

Model order reduction of boiler system using nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization of PID controller by Anurag Singh, Shekhar Yadav, Nitesh Tiwari, Dinesh Kumar Nishad, Saifullah Khalid

“…The PID controllers are optimized using both classical methods such as Ziegler-Nichols (ZN), Simple Internal Model Control (SIMC), Approximate M-Constrained Integral Gain Optimization (AMIGO), and Chien-Hrones-Reswick (CHR), as well as advanced optimization techniques like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Krill Herd Optimization (KHO), Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO), Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO), and Sparrow Search Optimization (SSO). Experimental results demonstrate that the PSO-optimized PID controller achieves a 20% reduction in settling time and a 14.68% improvement in Integral Square Error (ISE) compared to conventional tuning methods. …”
