Structural system simulation and control via NN based fuzzy model
Pei-Wei Tsai,T. Hayat,B. Ahmad,Cheng-Wu Chen 국제구조공학회 2015 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.56 No.3
This paper deals with the problem of the global stabilization for a class of tension leg platform (TLP) nonlinear control systems. It is well known that, in general, the global asymptotic stability of the TLP subsystems does not imply the global asymptotic stability of the composite closed-loop system. Finding system parameters for stabilizing the control system is also an issue need to be concerned. In this paper, we give additional sufficient conditions for the global stabilization of a TLP nonlinear system. In particular, we consider a class of NN based Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy TLP systems. Using the so-called parallel distributed compensation (PDC) controller, we prove that this class of systems can be globally asymptotically stable. The proper design of system parameters are found by a swarm intelligence algorithm called Evolved Bat Algorithm (EBA). An illustrative example is given to show the applicability of the main result.

An advanced imaging technique is demonstrated for fast, non-destructive and high resolution characterizations for nanometer-scale recorded bits on a super-resolution near-field optical disk (super-RENS). For the first time, an array of individual 100 nm recorded marks is imaged and studied by using the conductive-atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) method. Discussions also include comparisons of 300 nm, 200 nm and 100 nm recorded marks on both a super-RENS disk and a commercial DVD disk, and the image results are evidence of the high carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) value on the super-RENS disk, even though the mark size has been shrunk to less than the diffraction limit.
Evaluating Service System Alternatives via a Computer Simulation-enabled MCDM Framework
( Wei Jaw Deng ),( Wen Pei ),( Chih Hung Tsai ) 한국품질경영학회 2007 The Asian Journal on Quality Vol.8 No.2
Decision makers in the service industry must effectively cope with queuing problems, service capacity optimization, service efficiency and service quality problems. This study proposes a computer simulation-enabled MCDM framework that integrates computer simulation analysis, Taguchi method, expert opinion and multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) to assist decision makers in coping with decision problems. In this framework, Taguchi method is adopted to reduce the time required for the simulation experiment. Computer simulation analysis is adopted to obtain useful information for rapid decision-making without interrupting actual production. MCDM is used to select the optimal alternative. The illustrative result is extremely promising.

Wei-Min Chu,Hung-Bin Tsai,Yu-Chi Chen,Kuan-Yu Hung,Shao-Yi Cheng,Cheng-Pei Lin 한국호스피스완화의료학회 2024 한국호스피스.완화의료학회지 Vol.27 No.1
This article underscores the importance of integrating comprehensive palliative care for noncancer patients who are undergoing hemodialysis, with an emphasis on the aging populations in Asian nations such as Taiwan, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and China. As the global demographic landscape shifts towards an aging society and healthcare continues to advance, a marked increase has been observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis who require palliative care. This necessitates an immediate paradigm shift to incorporate this care, addressing the intricate physical, psychosocial, and spiritual challenges faced by these individuals and their families. Numerous challenges impede the provision of effective palliative care, including difficulties in prognosis, delayed referrals, cultural misconceptions, lack of clinician confidence, and insufficient collaboration among healthcare professionals. The article proposes potential solutions, such as targeted training for clinicians, the use of telemedicine to facilitate shared decision-making, and the introduction of time-limited trials for dialysis to overcome these obstacles. The integration of palliative care into routine renal treatment and the promotion of transparent communication among healthcare professionals represent key strategies to enhance the quality of life and end-of-life care for people on hemodialysis. By embracing innovative strategies and fostering collaboration, healthcare providers can deliver more patient-centered, holistic care that meets the complex needs of seriously ill patients within an aging population undergoing hemodialysis.

In this work, we developed a-SiOx:H(n) and μc-SiOx:H(n) films as ntypelayer, intermediate reflecting layer (IRL), and back-reflectinglayer (BRL) to improve the light management in silicon thin-filmsolar cells. In the development of SiOx:H films, by properly adjustingthe oxygen content of the films, the optical bandgap of μc-SiOx:H(n)can be increased while maintaining sufficient conductivity. Similareffect was found for a-SiOx:H(n). In a-Si:H single-junction cells,employing a-SiOx:H(n) as the replacement for a-Si:H(n) resulted in arelative efficiency enhancement of 11.4% due to the reduced parasiticabsorption loss. We have also found that μc-SiOx:H(n) can replaceback ITO layer as BRL, leading to a relative efficiency gain of 7.6%. For a-Si:H/a-Si1-xGex:H tandem cell, employing μc-SiOx:H(n) asIRL increased the current density of top cell. In addition, employinga-SiOx:H(n) as a replacement of a-Si:H(n) in the top cell increasedthe current density of bottom cell due to the reduction of absorptionloss. Combining all the improvements, the a-Si:H/a-Si1-xGex:Htandem cell with efficiency of 9.2%, VOC = 1.58 V, JSC = 8.43 mA/cm2, and FF = 68.4% was obtained.

The selective laser melted (SLM) Ti–6Al–4V cellular solid is a promising material in biomedical and other applications. The mechanical properties of the SLM Ti–6Al–4V cellular material are predominantly controlled by the design of the cellular structure. The objective of this study was to investigate the uniaxial compressive properties and compressive fatigueperformance of the SLM Ti–6Al–4V cellular solid with a new cuboctahedron unit cell reinforced by four diagonal strutsand two horizontal struts along the X and Y axes. The infuences of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) on the various mechanicalproperties were also examined. The results showed a smoother stress–strain curve and fewer stress oscillations in the HIPspecimen than in the SLM specimen. The HIP process slightly decreased the yield strength of the SLM sample from 55 to52 MPa. Under uniaxial compressive stress, the SLM and HIP specimens exhibited layer-by-layer fracture and diagonalshear fracture, respectively. Furthermore, the HIP treatment signifcantly increased the fatigue performance and improved thefatigue endurance ratio at 106cycles from 0.15 to 0.35. The HIP treatment contributed to several positive efects, includingphase transformation from brittle α′ to α + β, the elimination of strut porosity and residual stress, an increase in lath size,and a better combination of strength and ductility, thereby improving the fatigue performance. The efects of stress mode onthe fracture mechanism were also clarifed using in situ observation in combination with digital image correlation.

Background/Aims: Growth hormone (GH) is the main regulator of somatic growth, metabolism, and gender dimorphism in the liver. GH receptor (GHR) signaling in cancer is derived from a large body of evidence, although the GHR signaling pathway involved in the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC, remains unclear. We aimed to explore the expression of GHR and analyze its association with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients with chronic hepatitis C and HCC. Methods: The expression of GHR mRNA was investigated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in paired tumors and adjacent non-tumorous (ANT) liver tissues of 200 patients with chronic hepatitis C and HCC. Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays using the HCV-infected Huh7.5.1 cell model was performed. Results: GHR mRNA was significantly lower in HCV-HCC tissues than in corresponding ANT liver tissues. GHR mRNA and protein levels also decreased in the HCV-infected Huh7.5.1 cell model. Notably, lower GHR expression was associated with age of >60 years (P=0.0111) and worse clinicopathologic characteristics, including alpha-fetoprotein >100 ng/mL (P=0.0403), cirrhosis (P=0.0075), vascular invasion (P=0.0052), pathological stage II-IV (P=0.0002), and albumin ≤4.0 g/dL (P=0.0055), which were linked with poor prognosis of HCC. Most importantly, the high incidence of recurrence and poor survival rates in patients with a low ratio of tumor/ANT GHR (≤0.1) were observed, indicating that low expression levels of GHR had great risk for development of HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a significant down-regulation of GHR expression as a new unfavorable independent prognostic factor in patients with chronic hepatitis C and HCC.
