Clinical outcomes in type 2 diabetes patients with chronic heart failure treated with metformin: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To explore outcomes of metformin (Met) as an antihyperglycemic agent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Methods: This article employed a meta-analysis approach to systematically search several databases. Stata 15.

Neural Network-Based Adaptive Height Tracking Control of Active Air Suspension System with Magnetorheological Fluid Damper Subject to Uncertain Mass and Input Delay.

In this paper, we present a novel robust adaptive neural network-based control framework to address the ride height tracking control problem of active air suspension systems with magnetorheological fluid damper (MRD-AAS) subject to uncertain mass and time-varying input delay. First, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) approximator is designed to compensate for unmodeled dynamics of the MRD. Then, a projector-based estimator is developed to estimate uncertain parameter variation (sprung mass).

LQR-MPC-Based Trajectory-Tracking Controller of Autonomous Vehicle Subject to Coupling Effects and Driving State Uncertainties.

This paper presents a lateral and longitudinal coupling controller for a trajectory-tracking control system. The proposed controller can simultaneously minimize lateral tracking deviation while tracking the desired trajectory and vehicle speed. Firstly, we propose a hierarchical control structure composed of upper and lower-level controllers.

Nonlinear Ride Height Control of Active Air Suspension System with Output Constraints and Time-Varying Disturbances.

This paper addresses the problem of nonlinear height tracking control of an automobile active air suspension with the output state constraints and time-varying disturbances. The proposed control strategy guarantees that the ride height stays within a predefined range, and converges closely to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the desired height, ensuring uniform ultimate boundedness. The designed nonlinear observer is able to compensate for the time-varying disturbances caused by external random road excitation and perturbations, achieving robust performance.
