Background: Chronic post-thoracotomy pain (CPTP) consists of different types of pain. Some
characteristics of CPTP are the same as those of recognized neuropathic pain syndromes. …

This study represents the comparison of fuzzy logic and PID controlled active suspensions’
performances on an 11 degree-of-freedom rail vehicle model. First, a PID controller and then …

A high standard service must be provided in rail transportation for passenger safety and
comfort. With this need in mind, data are collected on vibration problems in rail systems and …

Objective Extended cervical mediastinoscopy (ECM) is a method for sampling aortopulmonary
window (APW) mediastinal lymph nodes. In this study, the efficacy of integrated positron …

Purpose: Surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is usually performed
in cases of prolonged air leak (PAL) or recurrence. We investigated the effect of the size …

Purpose We compared the efficacy and complications of video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM)
and video-assisted mediastinal lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) for mediastinal staging of …

This paper focuses on the vibration analysis of three-layered curved sandwich beams with
elastic face layers and viscoelastic core. First, the equations of motion that govern the free …

This article presents an application of the adaptive control method to semi-active suspension
systems in the presence of unknown disturbance and parametric uncertainty. Due to the …

In this study, vertical rail vehicle vibrations are controlled by the use of conventional PID and
parameters which are adaptive to PID controllers. A parameters adaptive PID controller is …

Background. Although transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) has been the preferred method for
the diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses, it has inherent limitations in accuracy. In …
