A simplified theoretical model for the constant-magnitude steady-state surface photovoltage (SPV) technique is developed. Emphasis is placed on the determination of the minority carrier diffusion length L in the particular case for which the sample thickness is quite lower than the true value of L. The model is derived from the theoretical basis with the assumption that incidental light flux va...

Identification of the product platform is a key step in designing a family of products. This article presents a methodology for selecting the product platform using information obtained from the individual optimization of the product variants. Under the assumption that the product variety requires only mild design changes, a sharing penalty vector (SPV) is derived by taking into consideration i...

We have analyzed the genotypic diversity of sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) collected from North, South, and Central America by fingerprinting assays and selective cDNA cloning and sequencing. One group of isolates from Colombia, designated the C-population, has been identified as residing at the root node between a separable superpopulation structure of SCYLV and other members of the famil...

BACKGROUND Patients with H7N9 avian flu concurrent with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) usually have a poor clinical outcome. Prone position ventilation (PPV) has been shown to improve the prognosis of patients with severe ARDS. This study explored the effects of PPV on the respiratory and circulatory mechanics of H7N9-infected patients with severe ARDS. METHODS Individuals ...

Abstract Water is an essential resource for agriculture and the majority of land irrigated through borewells or wells. The power requirement irrigation pump motor fed by on-grid supply but availability electricity in rural areas still questionable. With rising concerns about global warming rise carbon footprints, it necessary to choose clean green energy, thereby attaining self-sustainable life...

This paper explains a solar photovoltaic (SPV) based cascaded landsman converter inverter structure (CLCIS) which feeds induction motor drive (IMD) using hysteresis controller (HC) and sliding mode (SMC). The aim is to create SPV (CLC) with an enhanced dynamic response. HC SMC enabled systems are designed created MATLAB. standards of procedure simulation results examined. analyzed concerning ti...

This work studies the influence of slice permutations on tensor recovery, which is derived from a reasonable assumption about algorithm, i.e. changing data order should not affect effectiveness algorithm. However, as we will discussed in this paper, satisfied by recovery under some cases. We call interesting problem Slice Permutations Variability (SPV) recovery. In discuss SPV several key probl...

The amygdala is a forebrain center involved in functions and behaviors that are critical for survival (such as control of the neuroendocrine system and homeostasis, and reproduction and fear/escape responses) and in cognitive functions such as attention and emotional learning. In mammals, the amygdala is highly complex, with multiple subdivisions, neuronal subtypes, and connections, making it v...
