in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

High power LED converter combined with switching power supply and current adjustment device for is presented. The switching power supply provides one stabilized voltage source, and the current adjustment device controls the output currents with a desired constant current and the over-load protection. The experiment results shows the circuit can work well and pass the load test and the electroma...

this paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3d chamber. the chamber had cold and hot sources with tc and th temperatures, respectively. its other walls were adiabatic. this study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. to conduct the st...

In this paper we analyse the effect of the anomalous magnetic moment on the non-relativistic quantum motion of a neutral particle in magnetic and electric fields produced by linear sources of constant current and charge density, respectively. PACS numbers: 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Bz, 03.65.Nk

Large-signal behavior of HBT devices can depend strongly on the type of source used to bias the base of the devices. Understanding of this behavior is advanced using sample device measurements and model simulations. The device used is a wafer-level InGaP/GaAs HBT represented with a modified GummelPoon non-linear model. Results show that the use of constant voltage source allowed for a higher po...

Data-flow optimizations are usually implemented on low-level intermediate representations. This is not appropriate for source-to-source optimizations, which reconstruct a source level program after transformation. In this paper we show how constant propagation, a well known data-flow optimization problem, can be implemented on abstract syntax trees in Stratego, a rewriting system extended with ...

Constant-current (CC) power supplies find applications in many fields. The Resonant immittance converters (RICs) convert a voltage source to the current source, thereby render them suitable for its application as a CC power supply. A fourthorder RIC topology, TT44 , is studied in this paper. Detailed steadystate analysis is presented. Procedure to perform converter optimization that leads to cl...

Electric traction system uses voltage source inverter technology for three phase electric locomotives. This paper proposes Z source inverters to control the speed of locomotive drives. The acceleration region and free running region of operation of locomotive is considered for analysis. The control strategy for Z source inverter used is simple boost control. The speed control method for tractio...
