A number of 2075 pregnant women who attend the maternity check up in 2013 to 2015 at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital Maternity and Children of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, were involved in this study. The data were recorded from 12th to 40th weeks of gestational age (GA). The BPD was measured using Sony Corporation 1-7-1 Konan Minator-K. On-screen caliper is used to measure the BPD parameter on the frozen image using linear method. The SPSS software version 22.0 was used for analysis, with statistical analysis were performed such as compare means, regression analysis and paired sample t-test. Results show that higher BPD growth rate was found in second trimester (12th to 25th weeks of GA) with 2.90 mm/week compared to third trimester (26th to 40th weeks of GA) with only 1.68 mm/week, proved that the rapid growth of fetus head in second trimester than third trimester. Further analysis on maternal age, number of gravid and gender of the fetus were found no significant impact on the BPD values (p values ≥ 0.05). The BPD value of this study shows no significant difference with the BPD values of USA [1], Norway [2], Australia [3], Zimbabwe [4], India [5], China [6] and Malaysia [7]. Thus, this new BPD values are highly recommended to be used by the medical practitioner as the reference range of fetus biometry for Saudi Arabia population, in regards to provide a better healthcare and well being of the maternal and fetuses.","PeriodicalId":6540,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"366-369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81553146","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}

MCP can be used to regulate cell adhesion geometry on a substrate and in controlling wound healing process. In this study, human colon cancer cell line, HT29 were grown on a micro-contact printed pattern of fibronectin with repeat gratings of 25µm, 50µm, and 100µm wide, for 48 hours. The cells alignments to the patterned substrates were then computed, where 0° means 100% alignment to the pattern. This was done with the purpose of finding those pattern that stimulated the best degree of cell alignment. The quantitative analysis of the study revealed that HT29 cells aligned most readily to the 50µm and 100µm pattern with a mean angle of alignment of 4.8°±1.5SD and 5.7°±1.4SD respectively. On the other hand, HT29 poorly aligned to 25um and the un-patterned fibronectin-coated substrate with a mean angle of alignment of 33.4°±8.4SD and 51.1°±9.5SD respectively. Furthermore, the 50µm stamp pattern was used to investigate the influence of electric field on the HT29 alignment to the fibronectin patterned substrate. Electroporated and non-electroporated HT29 cells were cultured on the 50µm patterned substrates for 48 hours. The result revealed that there is no significant difference in the degree of alignment between the electrically treated with a mean angle of 4.2°±1.4SD and the untreated cells with a mean angle of 4.8°±1.5SD. However electrically treated cell aligned faster (within 31 hours of seeding) as compared to the untreated cells that aligned after 44 hours of seeding. Hence, the result of the study revealed that Micro-contact printing technique together with pulse electric field could offer a potential faster method of controlling wound healing process.","PeriodicalId":6540,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"292-297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83452267","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}

This method complements the vast research within autonomy to achieve the most fuel efficient solution from results that are already available from concept evaluation and system optimization in early development. The optimal control results are validated and compared to an extensive empirical study to ensure realization in real applications. The optimal control method is based on dynamic programming and finds the global optimum in regards to fuel efficiency [ton/l] at a given productivity [ton/h]. The wheel loader is used as an example due to the complex nature of the system, where the driveline and working hydraulics must work together throughout the work cycle. The main focus in this paper is how to transfer results from the optimal control calculations done offline, with high computational power, to algorithms that can be used online in operator assist systems, automatic functions and autonomous machine control. The primary result is that the method and algorithms presented in this paper works. The secondary results is that the optimal control solution shows around 15% higher fuel efficiency compared to the highest fuel efficiency measured among real operators in the extensive empirical measurement. The operator with the highest measured fuel efficiency has 20–30% higher average fuel efficiency than the fleet implying that the optimal control results, if used in operator assist systems, automatic functions and autonomous machine control, can increase the average fleet fuel efficiency by up to 35–45%, depending on operator and application.","PeriodicalId":6540,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE)","volume":"82 1","pages":"113-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76133194","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}

To overcome this limitation, this manuscript presents a modified Smith delay compensator based PCCS. Stable, integrating and unstable processes with dead time are considered in this work. The proposed PCCS consists of a secondary disturbance rejection controller, a stabilizing controller, a setpoint tracking controller, a setpoint filter and a lag filter for the predicted disturbance. Settings of the primary setpoint filter and setpoint tracking controller are obtained using direct synthesis approach whereas the secondary disturbance rejection controller is designed using internal model control approach. Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion is used to design the stabilizing controller. Moreover, the method of choosing primary and secondary closed-loop time constants is discussed. Simulation studies show that the proposed scheme results in enhanced regulatory performance which is very much essential in process industries.","PeriodicalId":6540,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE)","volume":"293 1","pages":"234-239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80031112","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}
