Direct Tuning Method for Optimization of PID and I-PD Parameters
Abstract: Existing work proposed a new and practical approach of tuning of a controller in a closed-loop process plant. The approach is a direct tuning method, termed as Extended Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (E-FRIT). Now, we propose to generate the reference model from the closed-loop data, where the order of the reference model is decided based on the process dynamics of the closed-loop data. That makes the model maximum possible fit …

Role of Nitric Oxide in Platelets of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is a disease of multifactorial origin; it is seen frequently in women of older age, having family history, affluent society, late age of marriage and first childbirth, early menarche, late menopause, and nulliparity. Oxidative stress results when balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defence is lost which result in mutations, sister chromatid exchanges, cytotoxicity, carcinogenesis etc. Clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies suggest that free radicals …

Community-based Study, Demographic and Socio-Economic Factors Associated with TB in Rural Jaipur NIMS Hospital
Abstract: This study showed that fewer women sought care in out-patient clinics for respiratory symptoms, fewer submitted sputum for testing, and if tested, fewer were smear-positive. This implies persistent lower representation of females at the different clinical steps for TB management using DOTS at community level. These findings raise grave concerns about the gender sensitive DOTS strategy for TB control. The findings indicate that an epidemiology of TB complicated by gender …

Data Representation and Abstraction in Computer Systems: An Interactive Study
Abstract: Data abstraction simplifies data, while data representation stores or encodes it. Data abstraction in programming involves constructing a data type that hides data representation. This lets consumers concentrate on the data’s primary features rather than its implementation. Data abstraction is common in object-oriented programming and database administration. Computers store data in binary format. The smallest binary unit is a bit, or “binary digit”. Bytes typically have eight bits. Data abstraction …

Bacteriophage Therapy in Dairy Farming: A Potential Alternative to Antibiotics
Abstract: The widespread use of antibiotics in dairy farming to control bacterial infections has led to significant challenges, including the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and concerns over antibiotic residues in milk. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for alternative approaches to control bacterial infections in dairy cattle. One promising solution is bacteriophage therapy, which uses viruses that selectively infect and destroy bacteria. As a result, the need for new strategies to …

Model Predictive Control for a Distillation Column Model
Abstract: Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a multivariable control (requires specific handling of each input as coupling and interaction is of a far greater effect) and uses the internal dynamic model of the process, past control moves and an optimization cost function over the receding prediction horizon, to calculate the optimum control moves. In this paper, the relation between MPC parameters was studied on process constraints. Conical tank level single-input-single-output (SISO) …
