It has two or more control units. Every control unit consists of a control module, a decoupling distributing module, and an output module. These units communicate with each other to exchange control information, and then adjust the actuators harmoniously. The decoupling algorithm is simpler than any other decoupling algorithm, and can be implemented more easily. As a result, the process can be controlled stably, and the coupling influences among the various loops can be removed. Simulation results demonstrate that the decoupling scheme can completely eliminate the coupling influence, and has better control performance","PeriodicalId":306045,"journal":{"name":"2005 ICSC Congress on Computational Intelligence Methods and Applications","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122980685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data suggest that genes responsible for immediate early genes, apoptosis, neurotransmitter receptors (principally glutamate), and inflammation are differentially expressed at various time points subsequent to experimental ischaemia. Using unsupervised clustering (self-organising maps) and gene regulatory networks, we were able to establish a framework within which we could place the resultant gene expression changes into.
