Novel hybrid carbon materials such as activated carbon-carbon nanotubes (AC-CNTs) and spheres/activated (CSs/AC-CNTs) based on (AC) derived from the pits of Algerian date palm have been prepared characterized. In addition, paste electrodes graphite (GC) cavity microelectrode (CME) modified with these were used to detect gallic acid at pH = 7 using square wave voltammetry method (SWV). The condu...

Magnetic luminescent hybrid nanostructures (MLHN) have received a great deal of attention due to their potential biomedical applications such as thermal therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery and intracellular imaging. We report the development of bifunctional Fe3O4 decorated YPO4:Eu hybrid nanostructures by covalent bridging of carboxyl PEGylated Fe3O4 and amine functionalized YPO4...

Smart fault current controller (SFCC) proposed in our previous work consists of a power converter, a high temperature superconducting (HTS) DC reactor, thyristors, and a control unit [1]. SFCC can limit and control the current by adjusting firing angles of thyristors when a fault occurs. SFCC has complex structure because the HTS DC reactor generates the loss under AC. To use the DC reactor und...

Following PET/CT and SPECT/CT, PET/MR hybrid imaging is the most recent addition to the palette of hybrid cardiac imaging modalities. PET/MR synergistically combines the excellent soft tissue contrast and detailed image resolution of MR with metabolic information provided by PET. Integrated PET/MR systems furthermore offer the ability to acquire hybrid imaging data simultaneously (1). Beyond ex...

––The objective of this paper is to propose anovel multi-input power converter for the gridconnected hybrid renewable energy system in order to simplify the power system and reduce the cost. The proposed multiinput power converter consists of a Cuk fused multi-input dc–dc converter and a fullbridge dc– ac inverter. The incremental conductance method is mainly used to accomplish the maximum powe...

Abs t r ac t . We propose a new hybrid I/O automaton model that is capable of describing both continuous and discrete behavior. The model, which extends the timed I /O automaton model of [12, 7] and the phase transition system models of [15, 2], allows communication among components using both shared variables and shared actions. The main contributions of this paper are: (1) the definition of h...

This project proposes a novel three phase nine switch AC/AC converter topology. This converter features sinusoidal inputs and outputs, unity power factor, and more importantly, low manufacturing cost. The Operating principle of the Converter is elaborated, its modulation schemes are also discussed, and experimental results from a 5kVA prototype system are provided.
