BACKGROUND Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic skin disease, linked to poverty, and belonging to the group of Neglected Tropical Diseases. Depending on the severity, the type of lesions or scars, and the context, CL can lead to self- and social stigma influencing the quality of life and psychological well-being of the patient. This dimension is, however, little documented for the most c...

This paper aims to study a 3 kW wireless power transfer system for electric vehicles. First, the LCL-LCL topology and LC-LC series topology are analyzed, and their transfer efficiencies under the same transfer power are compared. The LC-LC series topology is validated to be more efficient than the LCL-LCL topology and thus is more suitable for the system design. Then a novel q-Zsource-based onl...

-Because of the acute shortage of conventional energy resources, renewable energy harness is gaining attention. Voltage source inverter forms the interface to feed the power from the renewable source to utility. In order to increase the modularity of the system, the use of several parallel inverters of reduced rating is preferred. An effective control strategy to maintain the amplitude and freq...

The LCL grid-connected inverter has the ability to attenuate the high-frequency current harmonics. However, the inherent resonance of the LCL filter affects the system stability significantly. To damp the resonance effect, the dual-loop current control can be used to stabilize the system. The grid current plus capacitor current feedback system is widely used for its better transient response an...

We define LCL decompositions of the plane and investigate the advantages of using such decompositions in the context of digital topology. We show that discretization schemes based on such decompositions associate, to each LCL tiling of the plane, the digital model preserving the local topological structure of the object. We prove that for any LCL tiling of the plane, the digital model is necess...

This paper presents a single-phase transformerless bidirectional power factor corrector (PFC). A capacitor is inserted into conventional full-bridge PFC by connecting the ac line terminal and of DC voltage. The functions this have two roles: to bypass common-mode leakage current from stray capacitor; form an LCL filter reduce inductor ripple. hybrid modulation method employed in PFC. unipolar s...
