Abstract Purpose Few studies explored the relationship between family doctor contract services (FDCS) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with chronic diseases in rural China. This study aims to explore status signing on FDCS HRQOL examine whether there are differences different socioeconomic (SES). Methods A total 1,210 respondents were included this study. was measured b...

The Mobius CellReady bioreactor product platform incorporates novel disposable technologies that provide optimal performance for suspension mammalian cell culture. Here we show the utility of EMD Millipore’s 3L and 50L CellReady single use bioreactors for the cultivation of adherent mammalian cells on microcarriers. Cytodex and Solohill collagen microcarriers were first tested in a mixing study...

This article investigates the multifrequency switching oscillations of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in three-level active neutral-point-clamped (3L-ANPC) inverters under three typical commutation modes (i.e., full mode, outer and inner mode). Multiple switching-oscillation components with various frequencies are identified theoretically for both full- outer-mode commutations, due to their swit...

This paper proposes a unidirectional finite control set-predictive toque (UFCS-PTC) method for three-level neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) inverter fed interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). The proposed algorithm can lower the complexity of PTC by 3L-NPC reducing number admissible voltage vectors (VVs) effectively. candidate VVs are restricted within 60° space diagram (VSVD), whic...

Semiempirical methods are used to characterize and parametrize the effects of intermediate coupling and configuration interaction on the energy levels of the 3s3p, 3p2 and 3s3d configurations for ions in the Mg isoelectronic sequence. These parametrizations are then used to predict the branching fractions for the 3s3p–3p2 and 3s3p–3s3d transition arrays. The predictions are compared with the MC...

Abstract Objectives To investigate whether a strong sense of coherence (SOC) modifies the association between low-income and oral general health-related quality life (OHRQoL HRQoL, respectively) among South Australian population sample; to explore main interaction effects income SOC on OHRQoL HRQoL. Methods Baseline data from Dental Care Oral Health Study (DCOHS, representative study, 2015–2016...
