Establishing a new human pneumococcal standard reference serum, MPRSS-01 by Joseph M. Antonello, Rocio D. Murphy, Chitrananda Abeygunawardana, Juliana C. Malinverni, Rajam Gowrisankar, Tina Green, Rebecca Greway, Jenna Schmauch, Adrienne Howlett, Cyrille J. Bonhomme, Katrina M. Nolan

“…Development of new pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) with additional serotypes not in 007sp (e.g., V116, a 21-valent PCV) requires a new reference serum. Antibody concentrations to 33 pneumococcal serotypes were assigned in a new Merck Pneumococcal Reference Serum Standard (MPRSS-01; Merck Pneumococcal Reference Serum Standard) using the pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence assay. …”

Self-Tuning Parameters of the Proposed Fuzzy Immune Integral Controller to Improve the Performance of the Standard P&O-MPPT Strategy by Ramazan Ayaz

“…Firstly, a nonlinear model perfectly describing the internal functioning of the solar PV generator is designed where its nonlinear current-voltage characteristic is linearized around standard test conditions (STC). The resulting RECS model is then used in a synthesis method that combines an immune control mechanism with fuzzy logic, where the parameters of the resulting controller are optimized using the Genetic Algorithm GA. …”
