A low bone mineral density (BMD) is presently regarded as the most important risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. BMD is a function of peak bone mass attained during growth and subsequent age-related bone loss. ...

The elevated operating temperatures of high-Tc superconductor (HTS) rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic cells lead to higher thermal noise and this can be a major limiting factor in the development of working circuits ...

Constant current angle controlled reluctance synchronous machine drives can be considered as near optimum efficiency controlled drives. This paper describes an accurate constant current-angle current-control technique for ...

This paper deals with an Insulator Pollution Monitoring Relay (IPMR), designed to measure and monitor pollution on high voltage insulators. The IPMR determines the pollution severity by measuring the surface conductivity ...

Research has been done on the metaheuristic optimization of RSFQ circuits, but these are typically limited to single criteria (e.g., yield). The importance of using multiple criteria and the relevance of each of the criteria ...

When a metal horizontal pipe is heated and spun along its axis, a graded refractive index distribution is generated which is can be used as a lens, thus its name, the spinning pipe gas lens (SPGL). Experimental results ...

The role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in ischaemic preconditioning remains controversial. Since most previous studies focussed on events only during sustained ischaemia, the aim of this study was to ...

This paper presents an integrated active snubber (IACS) to be used with IGBT modules in power converters, applied in utility devices. The IACS is a compound component, consisting of all active and passive components necessary ...
