A power management unit (PMU) is an essential block for diversified multi-functional low-power Internet of Things (IoT) and biomedical electronics. This paper includes a theoretical analysis high current, single-stage ac-dc, reconfigurable, dual output, regulating rectifier consisting pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency (PFM). The provides two independently regulated supply voltages 1.8 V 3....

Introduction: Since the last few decades, the government of Ethiopia has introduced and adopted participatory forest management (PFM) in different regions of the country. However, there is a lack of research dealing with perceptions and attitudes of local people towards PFM in Wof-Washa Forests (WWF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of local people towards PF...

We describe the partial purification and characterization of a pore-forming material (PEM) from Entamoeba histolytica. The formation of ion channels by PFM was examined in three systems. (a) PFM depolarizes J774 macrophages and mouse spleen lymphocytes as measured by [3H]TPP+ uptake. (b) PFM induces rapid monovalent cation flux across the membrane of phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol vesicles. (c...

Every year, many accidents leading to physical injuries in kindergartens, indicates that a very large percentage of them are related to the safety concerns and lack of hygiene in these places. Families, due to their busy life style and working hours and also children needs of preschool education, are searching to find most suitable kindergartens for their children. Selecting a kindergarten with...

most impact tests are carried out on specimens with specific stacking sequence and dimensions to meet standard and experimental limitations. the damaged areas and the resulted reduction in the strength values of specimens may not agree very well with those of real application. in this paper an attempt is made to study the variation in the size of damaged areas due to varying the dimension of te...

in recent years, many manufacturing industries for promoting their efficiency have tended to use the automatic manufacturing systems. expanding automatic systems and to increase their complexity are representing the necessity of studying a proper functional quality and using reliable equipment in such systems more than ever. in this direction, the technique of fault tree analysis (fta), along w...

background and aim: the present study aimed at determination of the fatigue resistance and failure mode of cusp-replacing onlays in endodontically treated premolars using indirect composite resin restorations. materials and method: in this experimental study, 84 human premolars were randomly divided into 7 groups of 12. these groups were prepared as follows: intact teeth used in group1 as contr...

Background and Aim : Emergency ward is among hospital areas with high risk of errors, thus, implementing measures to identify and correct the errors is essential. The object of this study is to identify and assess the errors of the process of admitting patients in Emergency Department of Imam Reza Hospital using Failure Mode Effects Analysis, as one of the tools to assess and manage risk, as we...

In this paper, we present the current state of a failure mode taxonomy, and discuss its potential to explore the failure mode space of aerospace applications. More fundamentally, we discuss what constitutes a good description of a failure that can be detected at the conceptual design stage. Elemental (physics-based) descriptions of failure modes are derived for several domains identified throug...
