These trait-based factors are theorized increase stress reactivity, which can a predisposing factor Military personnel represent unique population that subject stressors nature of their occupations and may therefore particularly vulnerable the onset persistence The...

Except for direct energy transfer power systems, a pulsewidth modulation switching dc/dc converter controlled by the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm has been used to extract the maximum power of photovoltaic (PV) in PVbattery power systems. Recently, three-port converters, interfacing one PV port, one bidirectional battery port, and one load port of a PV-battery dc power system, a...

The mass usage of traditional fossil energy has adversely affected the environment on a global scale, such as environmental pollution and greenhouse effect. Meanwhile, there has been a growing demand for energy with the development of society. Since traditional fossil energy is not renewable, it is faced with the problem of energy shortage. Solar energy and hydrogen energy are promising, and ph...

The flexibility and programmability of an application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) come at the expense of reduced area and energy efficiency compared to application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions. Nevertheless, ASIPs are desirable for versatile application domains like wireless communications and software defined radio (SDR). Typically, ASIP designers reduce the ASIC-...
