Practical Considerations Regarding Power Factor for Nonlinear Loads

Practical considerations regarding the use of genotype

22 Genome-wide association studies of complex traits are often complicated by relatedness 23 among individuals. Ignoring or inappropriately accounting for relatedness often results in 24 inflated type I error rates. Either genotype or pedigree data can be used to estimate relat25 edness for use in mixed-models when undertaking QTL mapping. We performed simulations 26 to investigate methods for ...

Considerations Regarding the Relationship between Power Factor and Harmonic Distortions of Switched Mode Power Supplies

The main goal of this paper is to present some experimental results regarding power factor (PF) and current total harmonic distortions (THDi) of some very common loads on low voltage a.c. lines i.e. the power supply of computers, monitors and TV sets. The causes of some unexpected values are investigated and some physically meaningful explanations are delivered. The impact of the output current...

Omalizumab: Practical considerations regarding the risk of anaphylaxis

Omalizumab has demonstrated efficacy among patients with moderate to severe persistent allergic asthma, whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with other controller agents. This therapy is generally well tolerated, but there are some safety considerations, the most important of which is the rare, but potentially life-threatening, occurrence of omalizumab-associated anaphylaxis.In Canada, da...

Practical Feedback Loop Design Considerations for Switched Mode Power Supplies

Negative feedback control is used in switched-mode power supplies to regulate the output at a desired value. The optimum design of the feedback control loop starts with understanding the characteristics of the power stage, which can be analyzed using small-signal modeling. This paper explains the fundamental idea and meaning of small-signal modeling for power supplies and explores the small-sig...
