The reaction of Cu(Hm-dtc)2 (H2m-dtc is azepane-1-carbodi-thioic acid), CuBr2 and methyl iso-thio-cyanate yielded the title mixed-valence nona-nuclear Cu(I)/Cu(II) compound, [Cu9Br5(C7H12NS2)5] or [Cu(I) 8Cu(II)Br5(Hm-dtc)5], encapsulating a bromide anion in the center of the Cu9Br4S10 cluster cage. The cage consists of a mononuclear Cu(II) unit [Cu(Hm-dtc)2], three μ4-bridging Hm-dtc(-) ligand...

BACKGROUND Adolescents dealing with type 1 diabetes experience disruptions in affect and diabetes management that may influence their blood glucose. PURPOSE A daily diary format examined whether daily fluctuations in both negative and positive affect were associated with adolescents' perceived diabetes task competence (DTC) and blood glucose, and whether perceived DTC mediated the relationshi...

This paper presents an improved direct torque control (DTC) algorithm as compared to a traditional DTC scheme. In the traditional scheme, a pair of hysteresis comparators is used to control motor stator flux and electromagnetic torque. This causes a variable switching frequency which results in a high flux and torque ripples. To mitigate these issues, an improved DTC algorithm based on a double...

Purpose. To understand the role of polymorphisms in the LEP (rs7799039 and rs2167270) and LEPR (rs1137101 and rs1137100) genes in DTC susceptibility and their effect on leptin levels. Methods. We studied 153 patients with DTC and 234 controls through TaqMan SNP Genotyping and ELISA, comparing these data to the clinicopathological data of patients with DTC. Results. Patients with AA genotype of ...

The aim of this paper is to review the origin and developments of direct torque control (DTC), an advanced control technique of induction motor drives yielding superior performance. The direct torque control is one of the excellent control strategies available for torque control of induction machine. It is considered as an alternative to field oriented control (FOC) technique. The DTC is charac...

Thyroid hormone receptors, THRA and THRB, together with the TSH receptor, TSHR, are key regulators of thyroid function. Alterations in the genes of these receptors (THRA, THRB and TSHR) have been related to thyroid diseases, including thyroid cancer. Moreover, there is evidence suggesting that predisposition to differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is related to common genetic variants with low p...

Direct torque control (DTC) is an advanced control technique, in which the torque produced by the motor is directly controlled by controlling the inverter switching states. Each switching state represents a voltage vector. DTC have the following features, it does not requires current controllers, elimination of rotor position sensors, fast torque response, lesser parameter dependence, and it do...
