Fuzzy Logic Speed Regulator for D.C. Motor Tuning

A D.C. motor's rotational speed is regulated in this study using a PID controller and a fuzzy logic controller. In contrast to the fuzzy logic controller, which uses rules based on knowledge and experience, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller requires a mathematical system model.   This study investigates the regulation of a DC motor's velocity using PID and fuzzy logic controllers. The PID controller utilizes a mathematical model and parameter tuning by trial and error. Still, the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) operates on rule-based knowledge, enabling it to handle the nonlinear features of the DC motor effectively. The FLC design entails intricate determinations, including the establishment of a rule base and the process of fuzzification. A total of 49 fuzzy rules have been devised to achieve precise control. Based on MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations, the study concludes that the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) beats the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. The FLC exhibits superior transient and steady-state responses, shorter response times, reduced steady-state errors, and higher precision. This study emphasizes the efficacy of the FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) in dealing with the difficulties associated with DC motor control. It presents a strong argument for the suitability and efficiency of FLCs in industrial environments compared to conventional PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers. There are a wide variety of ways to construct a fuzzy logic controller. The speed error and the rate of change in the speed error are two inputs to the FLC. Defuzzification is done by focusing on the core of the problem. The results show that FLC is superior to PID controllers in efficiency and effectiveness due to its reduced transient and steady-state factors

True prevalence of twin HDV-HBV infection in Pakistan: a molecular approach

Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) infects only patients that are already infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV) because this is sub satellite virus which depends on and propagate only in the presence of HBV. HDV causes co-infection or super infection with sever complication as compared to only HBV infection. No study on molecular level on HDV is available from this region; therefore, the aim of this study was to found out the molecular epidemiology of HDV (as a co-infection with HBV) in different geographical regions of Pakistan

Study Design: An analytical cross-sectional prospective study was performed. Settings: The study was performed in Meer Children and family clinic, Tajpora Lahore. Period: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 October, 2021 to 15 January, 2021. Material & Methods: The present study is conducted in the in the Meer Children and Family Clinic Tajpura Lahore .In pregnant women attending the OPD during 2nd and 3rd trimester for routine checkups. The present study done in 60 normal pregnant women who were sure about their last menstrual period, have regular menstrual cycle, not experienced any vaginal bleeding. Ultrasonographic fetal foot length measurements was done without previous knowledge of gestational age and then the gestational age confirmed by biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference and head circumference . Results: The present study is conducted in 63 pragnent women between 15 to 35 weeks  of gestational age attending the OPD for 2nd and 3rd trimester routine checkups the  in the Meer Children and Family Clinic Tajpura Lahore . Sonographically we calculated foot length from 15 to 35 weeks of gestation. In our study to Early  age at which fetal foot length could be seen and measured sonographically was found to be 15 weeks of  gestation age. In 27 weeks of gestational age and mean foot length 83.67 with std. deviation 5.718 and std. Error Mean -720 and the mean value of foot length by gestational age is 93.33 with std. deviation and std. error mean 338.740 and 42.677 respectivly.  Along with foot length bipraietal diameter(BPD),Abdominal circumference(AC),head circumference(HC) also measured for comparison. Conclusion: In the normal growing fetus the fetal foot length increases with increasing gestational age. Fetal foot length is a good parameter for gestational age especially in cases of femur achondroplasia, dolichocephaly or brachycephaly and in cases who are not sure about their L.M.P. Fetal foot length is  used as an investigational implement  to measured  of gestational age in the late second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Fetal foot length was especially useful when other parameters did not correctly estimate gestational age, e.g., in cases of short-limb dwarfism hydrocephalus or anencephaly.

Digital health, cardiometabolic disease and ethnicity: an analysis of United Kingdom government policies from 2010 to 2022

Recent health policies in the United Kingdom (UK) and internationally have focussed on digitisation of healthcare. We examined UK policies for evidence of government action addressing health inequalities and digital health, using cardiometabolic disease as an exemplar. Using a systematic search methodology, we identified 87 relevant policy documents published between 2010 and 2022. We found increasing emphasis on digital health, including for prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiometabolic disease. Several policies also focused on tackling health inequalities and improving digital access. The COVID-19 pandemic amplified inequalities. No policies addressed ethnic inequalities in digital health for cardiometabolic disease, despite high prevalence in minority ethnic communities. Our findings suggest that creating opportunities for digital inclusion and reduce longer-term health inequalities, will require future policies to focus on: the heterogeneity of ethnic groups; cross-sectoral disadvantages which contribute to disease burden and digital accessibility; and disease-specific interventions which lend themselves to culturally tailored solutions

Stratified heat transfer of magneto-tangent hyperbolic bio-nanofluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms: Keller-Box solution technique

The purpose of the present investigation is to examine the heat, mass and microorganism concentration transfer rates in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stratified boundary layer flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid past a linearly, uniform stretching surface comprising gyrotactic microorganisms as well as nanoparticles. The governing PDEs with relevant end point conditions are molded into a non-dimensional ordinary differential equation (ODE) form by means of the similarity transformation. The numerical solution of dimensionless problem is acquired within the frame of robust Keller-Box technique. The velocity, temperature, mass and motile microorganism density are investigated graphically within the context of different significant parameters. Numerical results have been inspected via plots and table (namely as the local Nusselt number, the local wall mass flux and the local microorganisms wall flux). This article proves that the energy, concentration and motile microorganism density reduce with increase in thermal, solutal and motile density stratification parameters. The asserted outcomes are beneficial to enhance the cooling and heating processes, energy generation, thermal machines, solar energy systems, industrial processes etc

Cross electromagnetic nanofluid flow examination with infinite shear rate viscosity and melting heat through Skan-Falkner wedge

This demonstration of study focalizes the melting transport and inclined magnetizing effect of cross fluid with infinite shear rate viscosity along the Skan-Falkner wedge. Transport of energy analysis is brought through the melting process and velocity distribution is numerically achieved under the influence of the inclined magnetic dipole effect. Moreover, this study brings out the numerical effect of the process of thermophoresis diffusion and Brownian motion. The infinite shear rate of viscosity model of cross fluid reveals the set of partial differential equations (PDEs). Similarity transformation of variables converts the PDEs system into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Furthermore, a numerical bvp4c process is imposed on these resultant ODEs for the pursuit of a numerical solution. From the debate, it is concluded that melting process cases boost the velocity of fluid and velocity ratio parameter. The augmentation of the minimum value of energy needed to activate or energize the molecules or atoms to activate the chemical reaction boosts the concentricity inclined magnetized flow, infinite shear rate viscosity, Brownian motion, 2-D cross fluid, melting process of energy, thermophoresis diffusion melting of energy.Campus Chiclay

A mechanistic insight into chemical cues and interactions involved in herbivory induced jasmonate mediated plant defense mechanism

The first step in plant defense mechanism is to sense the insect attack stimulus. Plant sensitivity of an insect attack is the first step of defense. Molecules generated by the oral secretion of the insect interact with the plant receptors to trigger plant defense mechanisms. We selected some highly cited insect elicitors molecules, volicitin, caeliferin, bruchin which interact with plant defense by interacting with plant elicitors (systemin, inceptin and peps) located on the plant cell surface. This interaction activates plant receptors SYR1, LRR, PEPR and triggers downstream defense signaling. The octadecanoid pathways, involving enzymes allene oxide synthase (AOS) and Hydroxyperoxide lyase (HPL) are activated. These enzymes mediate production of green leafy volatiles and Jasmonic acid by interacting with hydroxperoxide molecules. We docked the elicitors with receptors and enzymes with substrates in the pathway of JA production. Phe was found to be an important amino acid that interacts with 13-hydroxyperoxides in the case of AOS to produce JA but not in the case of HPL. JA is converted to JA-Ile which shows strong binding with COI1 and COI1-JA-Ile complex docked with JAZ which showed strong interaction with ve hydrogens and one salt bridge bond. AOS and HPL showed less than 40% identity for sequence and structure alignment. AOS and HPL had shown an interaction between each other and showed a common interaction partner of the Lipoxygenase family. HPL shows interaction with ADH2 (Alcohol dehydrogenase) involved in GLVs production. AOS also showed interaction partner AOC, COI1 and OPR1 which are involved in JA-induced plant defense mechanism.peer-reviewe
