Delay margin analysis of FOTID controller for RES based EV system using MMGPE optimization by Adhit Roy, Susanta Dutta, Soumen Biswas, Anagha Bhattacharya, Sajjan Kumar, Soham Dutta, Provas Kumar Roy

“…To ensure dependable and robust operation under uncertain temporal delays, it becomes essential to ascertain the maximum allowable delay bound (MADB) or delay margin of systems controlled by FOTID controllers. FOTID controllers, as opposed to traditional PID controllers, incorporate non-integer orders, which complicates analysis and necessitates the use of more advanced methods such as the rekasius replacement approach. …”

Integrated transportation system planning with gravitational search algorithm approach based on fuzzy mutant controller by Alireza Hosseinzadeh Kashani, Seyed Ahmad Shayannia, Mohammad Mehdi Movahedi, Soheila Sardar

“…In the article, this problem was tested in the first step by comparing the two mentioned methods, and it was found that the first method has relative superiority in terms of the speed of reaching the response, in particular, the optimal response, and then by defining a heuristic mutation function, it uses a Fuzzy controller to control the jump rate. The proposed method has been evaluated on standard benchmark functions, including single-mode and multi-mode functions, and the results of evaluating these two methods have been compared with the standard gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and the gravitational particle population algorithm (GPS), the particle population optimization algorithm (PSO) and real genetic algorithm (RGA). …”

Effect of continuous renal replacement therapy on micro-inflammatory state and renal function in patients with severe acute renal failure by XUE Mang

“…Objective To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy on micro inflammatory state and renal function in patients with severe acute renal failure.Methods Eighty-four cases of severe acute renal failure were treated in our hospital from November 2014 to November 2016,and randomly divided into two groups:the observation group receiving continuous renal replacement therapy,and the control group given intermittent hemodialysis treatment.The curative effectiveness of the two groups was compared after treatment.The levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-6,IL-8,hs-CRP,TNF-αand SCr,CCr,BUN,CHE and other renal function indexes were observed and compared.APACHE II score and complications were observed.Results After treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(92.86% vs. 76.19%,P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of IL-6,IL-8,hs-CRP and TNF-αin the two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment,and those in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group(P<0.05).The SCr and BUN levels after treatment in the two groups were significantly lower,and Ccr and CHE levels were significantly higher than those before treatment,more significantly in the observation group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in APACHE II scores between the observation group and the control group before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,APACHE II scores in the observation group were lowerthan those in the control group(14.83±3.84 vs.22.73±6.97,P<0.05).The common adverse reactions were hypotension and arrhythmia.The incidence of hypotension and arrhythmia in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(4.76% vs. 14.29%,and 2.38% vs. 11.90%,P<0.05).Conclusions Continuous renal replacement therapy in patients with severe acute renal failure can significantly improve the state of micro inflammation and renal function,and control complications,and the curative effectiveness is remarkable.…”
