The main concern about the bi-directional AC-DC converter is to maintain utility power factor near to unity. One Cycle Controller (OCC) is one of the outstanding control techniques to control these power electronic converters. One Cycle Controller comprises one integrator with reset along with a few linear components like analog comparators, flip-flops, and a clock. This paper presents a hardwa...

The Open Cellular Convection (OCC) associated with cold air outbreaks is a common phenomenon over the North Sea where large number of wind parks are presented. Thus, reliable numerical simulations OCC events have great importance for offshore energy. We investigate ability to simulate using Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model ERA5 reanalysis data as initial lateral boundary conditions OSI...

The Block Tree is a recently proposed data structure that reaches compression close to Lempel-Ziv while supporting efficient direct access to text substrings. In this paper we show how a self-index can be built on top of a Block Tree so that it provides efficient pattern searches while using space proportional to that of the original data structure. More precisely, if a LempelZiv parse cuts a t...

The launch of Osteopathic Continuous Certification (OCC) signifes the next stage of the osteopathic board certification process. The OCC process replaces the old recertification system for all osteopathic physicians who earned time-limited certificates from American Osteopathic Association (AOA) certifying boards. All 18 AOA certifying boards are now engaged in the continuous certification proc...

energy consumption in the residential sector is a complex socio-technical problem that can be explained using acombination of physical, demographic and behavioural characteristics of a house and its occupants. in this paper, byusing the energy consumption data for the residential sector of shiraz in iran, the effect of built area (ba) andoccupant number (occ) on annual energy consumption (ec) w...

This paper reviews two recent developments in the field of assisted reproduction: in-vitro culture (IVC) of follicles and in-vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes. Both in-vitro procedures for oocytes and immature follicles were developed so as to enable storage of ovarian cortical tissue and oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) from small follicles. Until now, complete in-vitro development from a primor...
