Research using the diffusion model to decompose task-switching effects has contributed to a better understanding of the processes underlying the observed effect in the explicit task cueing paradigm: Previous findings could be reconciled with multiple component models of task switching or with an account on compound-cue retrieval/repetition priming. In the present study, we used two cues for eac...

Introduction: If the patients are not satisfied with the hospital, this results in switching behavior of patients. In this situation, among different hospitals, the patients choose the hospital with higher level of service quality. So, the main aim of this paper is investigating the effect of hospital's service quality on switching behavior of inpatients in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd. Me...

This paper presents a new method to find the optimum switching angles in voltage source multilevel converters in order to minimize specific higher order harmonics and decrease the total harmonic distortion (THD) of their output voltage waveform. The output voltage waveform of inverter can either be in the form of staircase or PWM. In order to increase the degrees of freedom and elimination of m...

Many biological systems can switch between two distinct states. Once switched, the system remains stable for a period of time and may switch back to its original state. A gene network with bistability is usually required for the switching and stochastic effect in the gene expression may induce such switching. A typical bistable system allows one-directional switching, in which the switch from t...

Linear AC power supplies can be replaced by their nonlinear switching counterparts due to the lower voltage drops and higher efficiency and power density of switching-mode inverters. Multilevel cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are the preferred inverter structure because of modular configuration, control, and protection. The output voltage quality in CHB converters depends on the number of ou...

One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...

In this paper, the problem of stability analysis and stabilization synthesis of switched linear systems with time delay is studied in continuous-time domain. First, two sufficient conditions are established under which the system is asymptotically stable under arbitrary switching signal, and, if a set of linear matrix inequalities is solvable, a state feedback controller can be designed to stab...

This paper addresses analysis and switching control problems of switched linear systems. To this end, a mixed time-driven and state-dependent switching strategy is proposed. It guarantees an average dwell time evenwhen all subsystems are unstable. The switching rule and its associated switching output feedback controllers are designed to stabilize the switched system and satisfy a weighted L2 g...

Stability of a switched system that consists of a set of linear time invariant subsystems and a periodic switching rule is investigated. Based on the Floquet theory, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for exponential stability. It is shown that there exists a slow switching rule that achieves exponential stability if at least one of these subsystems is asymptotically stable. It is al...
