This study aims to assess the performance of Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based inverters in high-power applications through simulations and a hardware-in-the-loop experiment. The focus is on efficacy GaN-based for multilevel topologies, five-level cascaded H-bridge inverter controlled by Texas Instruments (TI) C2000 microcontroller was used conduct Prior experiment, were conducted showcase setup half...

In this paper, a reinforced concrete(RC) bridge built in an interchange, in the city of Kerman (a city located in south of Iran) is examined by the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. During the construction of this bridge such as; the main beams, slab, and retaining walls, some Electrical Strain Gauges were mounted on the main reinforcements at different locations within the body of thi...

In this study, a system for monitoring the structural health of bridge deck and predicting various possible damages to this section was designed based on measuring the temperature and humidity with the use of wireless sensor networks, and then it was implemented and investigated. A scaled model of a conventional medium sized bridge (length of 50 meters, height of 10 meters, and with 2 piers) wa...

This paper describes a method of performance evaluation and remaining life prediction for an aged reinforced concrete (RC) T-girder bridge by J-BMS RC version via close visual inspection data, and also verifies the assessment results obtained as outputs from the Bridge Rating Expert System (RC-BREX) which is a subsystem of the J-BMS, to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The Bridge Manag...

a new fixed-partial denture design using laminates is described for the replacement of a missing anterior tooth. in this article advantages, disadvantages, indications and contraindications of the new design have been discussed. this method is best suited for cases with missing incisors and esthetically compromised abutment teeth.

The six-degree equations of flight in their classic form do not provide a proper physical perception due to a number of interferences. Nor do they render visible the important role of attack angles. In this study, attempts have been made to develop a complete set of 3D acceleration equations from the equations of normal and tangential acceleration αN=vωv, αt=v ̇. For this purpose, a coordinate s...

A new wireless MEMS accelerometer sensor board is designed to meet the specific hardware and software requirements of structural engineering applications. The board has four channels of accelerometers in two directions and one thermometer. It is compatible with Mica devices for control and communication, which in turn support TinyOS as their operating system. Hardware components are designed to...

The present work deals with the development of low cost, appreciably accurate precision electronic circuit for resistive sensor where measurement of the incremental resistance change with high degree of accuracy is essential. A linear and sensitive active half bridge circuit requiring only few components for its hardware implementation has been proposed for measuring very small resistance chang...

Better understanding of the bimodal coupled bridge flutter involving fundamental vertical bending and torsional modes offers valuable insight into multimode coupled flutter, which has primarily been the major concern in the design of long span bridges. This paper presents a new framework that provides closed-form expressions for estimating modal characteristics of bimodal coupled bridge systems...

The yeast spindle pole body (SPB) is the functional equivalent of the mammalian centrosome. The half bridge is a SPB substructure on the nuclear envelope (NE), playing a key role in SPB duplication. Its cytoplasmic components are the membrane-anchored Kar1, the yeast centrin Cdc31, and the Cdc31-binding protein Sfi1. In G1, the half bridge expands into the bridge through Sfi1 C-terminal (Sfi1-C...
