Energy Market Integration (EMI) has been a goal for many regions, including the European Union and East Asia, for quite a long time. How it could play a role in facilitating equitable economic growth among a group of countries remains an empirical question that this paper will attempt to answer. The paper uses economic convergence analysis (including both the r-convergence and b-convergence app...

In this paper conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) of boost converter with switching frequency modulation (SFM) is theoretically analyzed in details. In the analysis line impedance stabilization network parameters, power inductor and input filtering capacitor parameters are taken into account. The analysis shows that the conducted EMI attenuation due to the use of SFM depends not only o...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes-polymethyl methacrylate (MWCNT-PMMA) composites prepared by two different techniques was measured. EMI SE up to 40 dB in the frequency range 8.2-12.4 GHz (X-band) was achieved by stacking seven layers of 0.3-mm thick MWCNT-PMMA composite films compared with 30 dB achieved by stacking two layers of 1...

Due to rapid changing business requirements the complexity in developing enterprise-spanning applications is continually growing. A vital field of delivering technical concepts and technologies for integrating heterogeneous applications and components to support inter-organisational business processes is the area of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). A common characteristic of all EAI ap...

In the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method, the PZT patch performs the functions of both sensor and exciter. Due to the high frequency actuation and non-model based characteristics, the EMI method can be utilized to detect incipient structural damage. In recent years EMI techniques have been widely applied to monitor the health status of concrete and steel materials, however, studies on ap...

Introduction: Modern life exposes us all to an ever-increasing number of potential sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and patients with Implantable rhythm devices (IRD) like pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators or implantable loop recorders often ask about the use of microwave ovens, walking through airport metal detectors and the use of cellular phones. Electromagneti...

Conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a major cause of concern in switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) which commonly use standard pulsewidth modulation (PWM). In this paper, Sigma–Delta ( ) modulation is proposed as an alternative switching technique to reduce conducted EMI from an SMPS. The result of using modulation is a spread in the spectrum of the conducted emissions so that large...

This paper presents a new type of electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurement system. An EMI Camera LSI (EMcam) with a 12 × 4 on-chip 250 × 50 μm2 loop antenna matrix in 65 nm CMOS is developed. EMcam achieves both the 2D electric scanning and 60 μm-level spatial precision. The down-conversion architecture increases the bandwidth of EMcam and enables the measurement of EMI spectrum up to 3.3...

AIM To study in vitro influence of mechanochemically activated (MA) doxorubicin (DOXO) and electromagnetic irradiation (EMI) on human lung carcinoma A-549 cells. METHODS Solid state DOXO was MA by input energy 20 W/g during 5 min. Tumor cells were exposed to 40 MHz EMI with power density 2 W/cm(2) at temperature 37 degrees C. RESULTS Particles of MA DOXO have sizes 10 time smaller than offi...

We studied 80 subjects (63 M, 17 F; 23-82 yrs) and related lung computerized tomography (CT) density with age, height, spirometry, lung volumes, diffusing capacity and arterial blood gas tensions. These subjects demonstrated a wide range of physiological impairment (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 8-116% predicted; diffusing capacity (Kco) 15-139% predicted; arterial oxygen tensio...
