some of arid regions problems of iran are saline and sodic soils. in improvement and reclamation of iranian arid rangelands, some foreign species of atriplex had been imported and adapted for many years ago. the most adapted species was atriplex canescens. at the present research, some environmental factors, vegetative characteristics (na, ca, mg and k), soil properties (moisture, ec, ph, solut...

it has often been stated or implied that grazing is an important factor in the land degradation process, a suggestion supported by various research projects, and this study investigated the effect of livestock grazing on stem height, crowncover, production, basal diameter, stem biomass, litter, leaf-stem index (leaf to stem weight) , root diameter and weight and seed production per individual o...

This paper presents the development of a high gain Boost converter applied to photovoltaic (PV) system. The converter was designed to be connected directly to the photovoltaic panel and perform the search for the maximum power point (MPPT). The new proposal seeks the MPPT is to connect each panel a converter for a high gain greater accuracy in finding the point of maximum power. The converter w...

Based on Generalized switchingcell approach, a generalized state-plane analysis for families of soft-switching dc-to-dc converters will be presented. It is shown the analysis of soft-switching dc-to-dc converter families can be analyzed in terms of simple two-dimensional state-plane diagram. Complete generalized design equations will also be given. It will be shown that one generalized transfor...

The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. Fusion is required for the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts and giant cells, although the mechanisms that govern these processes are poorly understood. A new study now reveals an unexpected role for the receptor, dendritic cell– specific transmembrane protein ...

DC-DC converters are switched power converters. They are used to convert one DC voltage to another DC voltage. It is inordinately used in industry as well as in research. The model of converter system varies from the ON state to the OFF state. The major drawback of the boost converter is the uncontrolled supply of voltage and current. So initially a convectional PID controller is designed to re...

This paper proposes a high voltage ratio and low ripple interleaved boost DC-DC converter, which can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple. This converter transfers the low DC voltage of fuel cell to high DC voltage in DC link. The structure of the converter is parallel with two voltage-doublers boost converters by interleaving their output voltages to reduce the voltage ripple ratio. Bes...
