In general Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques of a voltage source inverter (VSI) need a sinusoidal reference signal and triangular carrier signal to generate the required modulating signals for the desired output. Modifications in modulating techniques can be considered in two ways, namely modified reference and modified carrier. The existing multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation...

This paper presents different types of bipolar Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) strategies for the chosen Cascaded MultiLevel Inverter (CMLI). The main purpose of MLI is to use power semiconductor devices of lower voltage ratings to realize high voltage levels at inverter output. Due to their ability to obtain refined output voltage waveforms, reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and reduced EMI...

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is the basis for control in power electronics. The theoretically zero rise and fall time of an ideal PWM waveform represents a preferred way of driving modern semiconductor power devices. With the exception of some resonant converters, the vast majority of power electronic circuits are controlled by PWM signals of various forms. The rapid rising and falling edges en...

Renewable energy sources, especially solar photovoltaic systems (PV) are gaining popularity as the demand for electrical energy is increasing day by day. They can act as a voltage source feeding the power circuit. This work aims in utilising the PV system as a voltage source for a cascaded five level inverter. Further the performance of the PV panel fed cascaded multilevel inverter is analysed ...

The positive regulatory domain I (PRDM1) is a master regulator in the differentiation of mature B lymphocytes to plasma cells. It has 2 isoforms, PRDM1alpha and PRDM1beta, and is regulated by the transcriptional regulator nuclear factor kappa (NF)-kappaB. PRDM1 protein expression was recently demonstrated in a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with aggressive behavior, a type of l...

This is a phase 2 study to assess the role of tumor histogenesis (subtype), fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and short-course etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin with dosedense rituximab (SC-EPOCH-RR) in newly diagnosed HIV-associated CD20 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Patients received a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 cycles with 1 ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine (1) the expression of P16 protein relative to sites of presentation, immunophenotypic subgroups and proliferative indices of tumour cells, and (2) the relationship between p16 gene alterations and P16 protein overexpression in 70 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS Expression of P16, CD10, BCL-6, MUM-1 and proliferation marker (Ki-67)...

Aberrant expression of microRNAs is widely accepted to be pathogenetically involved in nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). However, the microRNAs profiles of primary cutaneous large B-cell lymphomas (PCLBCLs) are not yet described. Its two main subtypes, i.e., primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCLBCL-LT) and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) ...

The division of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtypes based on gene expression profiling has proved to be a landmark in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease. This study aims to identify a novel biomarker to facilitate the translation of research into clinical practice. Using a training set of 350 patients, ...

The study investigated the dietary impact of 18:3n-3 vs. 18:2n-6 on fatty acid- and micronutrient concentration of beef muscle and the extent of diet- and processing-induced changes of lipid- and micronutrient concentrations of beef products made thereof (German Corned beef (GCB), tea sausage spread (TSS), scalded sausage (SS)). Beef and beef products were obtained from German Holstein bulls wh...
