development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولScreening ancient tuberculosis with qPCR: challenges and opportunities.
The field of ancient DNA (aDNA) has rapidly accelerated in recent years as a result of new methods in next-generation sequencing, library preparation and targeted enrichment. Such research is restricted, however, by the highly variable DNA preservation within different tissues, especially when isolating ancient pathogens from human remains. Identifying positive candidate samples via quantitativ...
متن کاملTuberculosis: an ancient and evergreen disease.
T uberculosis (TB) is a fascinating disease, and still represents a ‘‘special laboratory’’ for immunologists, pathologists, radiologists, respiratory physicians, paediatricians, public-health experts and other specialists. TB, after affecting mammoths and Egyptian mummies, has infected a large fraction of mankind (about one third of them, according to Mantoux-based estimates) of whom no more th...
متن کاملVitamin D deficiency during pregnancy: an ongoing epidemic.
In this issue of the Journal, van der Meer et al (1) report a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy in nonWestern women in the Netherlands. These investigators found in their study that 50% of women with darker pigment were vitamin D deficient, whereas only 8% of Western women were defined as deficient. Even at first glance, this is a truly remarkable statistic. However, the ...
متن کاملPotential impact of tuberculosis vaccines as epidemic control agents.
We use 2 simple mathematical models (one a preexposure vaccine model and the other a postexposure vaccine model) to provide general insight into the effects of vaccination on tuberculosis epidemics. We discuss how these models can be used as health policy tools: to identify which vaccines are "equivalent," to design control strategies, and to predict the epidemiological impact of different vacc...
