This paper presents a cross-coupled, closed-loop digital phase control strategy for two-phase interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC) converters operating in boundary conduction mode (BCM) and discontinuous condu...

Abstract Conventional manipulators with rigid structures and stiffness actuators have poor flexibility, limited obstacle avoidance capability, and constrained workspace. Some developed flexible or soft manipulators in re...

Abstract The current research mainly focuses on the flow control for the two-stage proportional valve with hydraulic position feedback which is named as Valvistor valve. Essentially, the Valvistor valve is a proportional...

To determine the pharmacologic activity of (-)-lobeline between human (h)α4β2 and hα4β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), functional and structural experiments were performed. The Ca2+ influx results establi...

This work describes the design and optimization of a printed circuit board containing a rectangular half-loop coil designed to apply radio frequency signals on micrometric diamond crystals. The structure was optimized to...

O músculo estriado esquelético é formado pela associação de fibras musculares com a matriz extracelular. Esse tecido possui alta plasticidade e o conhecimento das características morfológicas, da miogênese, e da ...

ABSTRACT A total of 80 samples were collected to analyze the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y chromosome genetic diversity of two main Portuguese Lidia bovine populations and clarify their genetic relationships with Spani...

Abstract Non-contact actuated microbeads have attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of its enormous potential in medical, biological, and industrial applications. Researchers have proposed a multitude of e...

Optimization of Buck Converter performance is carried out through the application of a Proportional-Integral (PI) Controller to achieve more stable output voltage regulation in direct current (DC)-based electronic system...

In view of the recent increased interest in light-induced manipulation of magnetism in nanometric length scales this work presents metal clusters as promising elementary units for generating all-optical ultrafast magneti...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential regulators of gene expression, defined by their unique biogenesis, which requires the precise excision of the small RNA from an imperfect fold-back precursor. Unlike their animal counterp...

Dengue virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase specifically binds to the viral genome by interacting with a promoter element known as stem-loop A (SLA). Although a great deal has been learned in recent years about the functio...

Abstract Fuel consumption is one of the main concerns for heavy-duty trucks. Predictive cruise control (PCC) provides an intriguing opportunity to reduce fuel consumption by using the upcoming road information. In this s...

We study a self-interacting scalar φ4 theory on the d-dimensional noncommutative torus. We determine, for the particular cases d= 2 and d= 4 , the counterterms required by one-loop renormalization. We discuss higher loo...

"In this paper, it is shown that an algorithm for the stabilisation of switched systems introduced by the authors is robust with respect to perturbations which are unbounded in the supremum norm, but bounded in a power-l...

Five substituted pyrochlore nanooxides such as Nd1.9Ho0.1Zr1.8Ce0.2O7, La1.95Ce0.05Zr0.29Ce1.71O7, Y1.79Pr0.21Ru1.99Pr0.01O7, Dy1.9Yb0.1Mn1.93Cu0.07O7 and Dy1.99Sr0.01Sn2O7 were synthesized by coprecipitation method. The...

In this paper, single and dual band EBG structures for wider bandwidth are proposed. In each of the discussed EBGs, a metallic patch of regular geometry is chosen for the unit element. The patch is further modified by cu...

Abstract The establishment of an elastostatic stiffness model for over constrained parallel manipulators (PMs), particularly those with over constrained subclosed loops, poses a challenge while ensuring numerical stabili...

Background Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, alleviates airway obstruction in people and improves air flow, and its use has been proposed in dogs. Brachycephalic dogs have naturally occurring airway obstruction whe...

"One of the main challenges in automatic glycemic regulation in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is to dispense with carbohydrate counting. In this context, we propose to equip a previously introduced switched Linear ...

In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have gained significant momentum in the automation of software development. Although, previous research studies have also explo...

In this paper, we demonstrate that circulating antibodies from chronic periodontitis patients reacting with atrial β1-adrenoceptors (β1-ARs) act as an inducer of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) release and prostaglandin E...

In this work by using sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis was synthesized single-phase magnesium-substituted lithium ferrite at different pH reaction medium. The synthesized materials were investigated by X-ray and Mossbau...

Abstract The dual pressures of climate change and industrial water scarcity demand integrated solutions that jointly decarbonize power supply and reduce freshwater dependency. This study presents a site-specific, techno-...
