BACKGROUND Protocols for the hormonal induction of ovulation and oviposition are essential tools for managing threatened amphibians with assisted reproduction, but responses vary greatly between species and even broad taxon groups. Consequently, it is necessary to assess effectiveness of such protocols in representative species when new taxa become targets for induction. The threatened genus Mi...

In this paper, based on the similarity, in structure and principle, between a grid-connected converter for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) and an active power filter (APF), a new D-PMSG-based wind turbine (WT) system configuration that includes not only an auxiliary converter in parallel with the grid-side converter, but also a coordinated control strategy, is pr...

To investigate the role of ovarian status and to find out a suitable hormonal dose for induction of superovulation and its effect on biochemical status of the ovaries, the mice were injected with PMSG in doses of 5, 7.5, and 10 IU on different days of the estrous cycle i.e. proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus followed by hCG injection 48 hr later. All these treatments increased the mean o...

The control strategy and design of an AC/DC/AC IGBT-PMW power converter for PMSG-based variable-speed wind energy conversion systems (VSWECS) operation in grid/load-connected mode are presented. VSWECS consists of a PMSG connected to a AC-DC IGBT-based PWM rectifier and a DC/AC IGBT-based PWM inverter with LCL filter. In VSWECS, AC/DC/AC power converter is employed to convert the variable frequ...

This paper proposes a simple sensorless maximum power extraction control strategy for a variable speed wind energy conversion system (VSWECS) based on permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The PMSG is connected to the grid through a switch mode rectifier and a three phase voltage source inverter (VSI). Control of the generator side converter is used to achieve maximum power from the av...

BACKGROUND Tissues undergoing a chronic inflammatory process, such as the synovium in rheumatoid arthritis, are characterized by the infiltration of lymphocytes of different subsets and activation of monocyte/macrophages. Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a monocyte/ macrophage product that stimulates synovial fibroblasts to produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), prostaglandins, and other cytokines, als...

In this paper, the authors investigated a Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Wind Turbine (PMSG-WT). This study deals with control of the PWM back-to-back converter (AC/AC) of the wind turbine, since the average size of WTG installations has increased due to the advent of larger capacity machines, especially variable speed technology, this raise of integration rate of wind ener...

This paper focuses on developing an integrated reliable and sophisticated model for ultra large wind turbines And to study the performance and analysis of vector control on large wind turbines. With the advance of power electronics technology, direct driven multi-pole radial flux PMSG (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) has proven to be a good choice for wind turbines manufacturers. To stu...

During hormonally induced ovarian follicle growth, granulosa cell proliferation increases and returns to baseline prior to the administration of an ovulatory stimulus. Several key genes appear to follow a similar pattern, including the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHCGR), suggesting an association between cell cycle progression and gene expression. The expression of LHCGR mRNA in granulosa cel...

This paper presents the stability-improvement results of a synchronous generator (SG)-based one-machine infinite-bus (OMIB) system with a hybrid doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based and permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based offshore wind farm (OWF) using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The operating performance of the studied PMSG-based OWF is simulated by an eq...
