The discussions bring to light the marked disagreements between different groups of investigators over such major issues as heroin's effect on chromosomal aberrations, the drugs to be used for treating drug dependent neonates and the incidence of physical abuse o...

A Multi-port High Step-up DC/DC Converter for Hybrid Renewable Energy Application

This paper presents a novel multi-port DC/DC converter which is suitable to be used as the interface of hybrid renewable energy systems. The converter contains three unidirectional power flow ports which two of them are input ports and are connected to two independent energy sources while the third one is the output port that feeds a standalone load. Furthermore, the proposed converter contains...

A Voltage Gain Enhanced Ky Step Up

In this paper, KY converter and voltage gain enhanced KY converter are included. A KY converter is a voltage step up converter, it can be considered as a buck converter along with synchronous rectification. In general, a KY converter consists of two MOSFET switches. To obtain higher voltage gain we can adopt different methods. Some of these techniques, advantages and disadvantages of each metho...
