Lateral Flow Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Test with Stem Primers: Detection of Cryptosporidium Species in Kenyan Children Presenting with Diarrhea by Timothy S. Mamba, Cecilia K. Mbae, Johnson Kinyua, Erastus Mulinge, Gitonga Nkanata Mburugu, Zablon K. Njiru

“…Current diagnostic methods for cryptosporidiosis such as microscopy have low sensitivity while techniques such as PCR indicate higher sensitivity levels but are seldom used in developing countries due to their associated cost. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique, a method with shorter time to result and with equal or higher sensitivity compared to PCR, has been developed and applied in the detection of Cryptosporidium species. …”

PI Controller Design for a 5-Phase Switched Reluctance Motor with Bipolar Excitation Segmental Rotor by Erdal Büyükbıçakcı

“…Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are a type of motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using the variable reluctance principle in industry, electric vehicles, and renewable energy. However, due to the nonlinear characteristic of the magnetic circuit depending on the rotor position, the dynamic performance of SRMs varies according to the operating conditions and they need a powerful drive circuit and an advanced control algorithm for maximum torque and stable speed control. …”

Adaptive Output-Feedback Control for Switched Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Control Directions by Elham Ovaysi, Marzieh Kamali

“…Due to the appropriate change of coordinates, 1) neither fuzzy nor radial basis function is used in the design of the controller, 2) only one adaptation law is designed to estimate the unknown parameters in the switched non-strict feedback nonlinear system, and 3) there is no Nussbaum function in the proposed adaptive controller so, the large control signal in the initial stages and the consequent damage to the actuators can be prevented. …”

Parameter Identification and Control Scheme for Monitoring Automatic Thickness Control System with Measurement Delay by Xu Yang, Jingjing Gao, Yuri A. W. Shardt, Linlin Li, Chaonan Tong

“…At the last stand, the monitoring AGC system is usually used, where the deviations in thickness can be directly measured by the X-ray thickness gauge device and used as the input to the AGC system. However, due to the physical distance between the thickness detection device and the rolling stand, time delay is unavoidably present in the thickness control loop, which can affect control performance and lead to system oscillations. …”
