People usually research modulation mode 3 of SVM for matrix converter discussed in this paper. Actually, other different modulation modes of SVM for matrix converter are worth studying. Two novel modulation modes are put forward for matrix converter for the first time in this paper, expanding its modulation modes of SVM. First, SVM for matrix converter is described. Then the 3 modulation modes ...

The matrix converter system is competitive solution to replace the conventional two stage ac to ac converter. In this paper, a matrix converter driving a speed-controlled induction machine is examined under open-switch fault. First, a-predictive direct torque method is proposed using only the motor torque and current. Second, a motor speed control is presented. The proposed techniques do not re...

In this paper I will present a summary of Turing’s article “Computing machinery and intelligence” [26] and discuss it. I retrace the ideas Turing presented in this paper and explain their historical context. Also, I discuss the impact Turing’s ideas had on the scientific community when the paper was published in 1950 as well as the meaning they still have today. Throughout this paper, I include...

Dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuators are all-electric devices with no moving parts. They are made of a simple construction, consisting only of a pair of electrodes sandwiching a dielectric sheet. When AC voltage is applied, air surrounding the upper electrode is ionized, which is attracted towards the charged dielectric surface to form a wall jet. Control of flow over land and ai...

In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...

N-terminal acetylation (N-Ac) is a highly abundant eukaryotic protein modification. Proteomics revealed a significant increase in the occurrence of N-Ac from lower to higher eukaryotes, but evidence explaining the underlying molecular mechanism(s) is currently lacking. We first analysed protein N-termini and their acetylation degrees, suggesting that evolution of substrates is not a major cause...

Human epidermoid tumor A431 cells underwent apoptosis following exposure to ultraviolet C (UVC). The apoptosis was of the interphase death type, and mostly occurred within one cell cycle, independent of the cell-cycle phases. We further examined the detailed sequential order of apoptotic changes in cells after UVC exposure and the involvement of caspases using six caspase inhibitors. The loss o...
