This paper presents an improved direct torque control (DTC) algorithm as compared to a traditional DTC scheme. In the traditional scheme, a pair of hysteresis comparators is used to control motor stator flux and electromagnetic torque. This causes a variable switching frequency which results in a high flux and torque ripples. To mitigate these issues, an improved DTC algorithm based on a double...

BACKGROUND Previous studies investigating the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms and thyroid cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between three XRCC1 polymorphisms and thyroid cancer risk. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS PubMed and EMBASE database were ...

the direct torque control (dtc) of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (ipmsm) offers simple structure and fast torque response. the conventional switching table-based dtc (st-dtc) presents some disadvantages like high torque and flux ripple and also variable switching frequency. this paper investigates the improved st-dtc strategies to reduce both torque and flux ripple in dtc of ipmsm...

introduction: differentiated thyroid cancer (dtc) is the most common endocrine malignancy. this malignancy generally has an excellent prognosis with more than 90% long term survival. consequently, life quality improvement is the first priority especially in the young dtc survivors. in classic management of a new dtc patient, each therapeutic modality can significantly induce morbidities. in the...

Patient's age at the time of diagnosis is an important prognostic factor for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) as reflected in various staging and risk stratification systems. However, discrepancies exist among the different staging systems on an optimal cut-off age for predicting the clinical outcome of patients with DTC. To determine the age at diagnosis most predictive of clinical outcomes...

Introduction: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is associated with excellent prognosis and high survival rates. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of baseline and treatment-related factors on the health related quality of life (QoL) in cured DTC. Methods:This study was an analytic cross-sectional study on radio-iodine (RAI) treated DT...

Thyroid hormone receptors, THRA and THRB, together with the TSH receptor, TSHR, are key regulators of thyroid function. Alterations in the genes of these receptors (THRA, THRB and TSHR) have been related to thyroid diseases, including thyroid cancer. Moreover, there is evidence suggesting that predisposition to differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is related to common genetic variants with low p...

The direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has become attractive because of its simplicity and fast torque response. However, mechanical sensors have caused problems to the system. It is possible to overcome the disadvantage if the initial rotor position is known. For the initial rotor position detection, the structural and magnetic saturation saliencies are fr...

The L NL question remains one of the major unresolved problems in complexity theory Both L and NL have logical characterizations as the sets of totally ordered structures expressible in rst order logic augmented with the appropriate Transitive Closure operator I FO DTC captures L and FO TC captures NL On the other hand in the absence of ordering FO TC is strictly more powerful than FO DTC GM An...
