In this study, an interleaved soft switching Boost Converter is used to track the maximum power point of PV array and full bridge inverter is used to stabilize the dc bus voltage. In this method, an interleaved technique is adopted to reduce the current rating of each device. Switching losses are reduced by adapting a zero voltage transition which increases the efficiency of the system. The exp...

introduction: studies have indicated a global high prevalence of hospital malnutrition on admission and during hospitalization. clinical nutritional risk screen (cnrs) is a way to identify malnutrition and manage nutritional interventions. several traditional and non-computer based tools have been suggested for screening nutritional risk levels. the present study was an attempt to employ a comp...

The details of the SELinux access control mechanisms lead to the perception that SELinux is too complex for non-expert users to manage. We present techniques that bridge the gap between the comprehensive, low-level SELinux access controls and the intuitive, high-level abstractions familiar to system administrators. These techniques shield the user from SELinux implementation details without sac...

In problem solving, it is often important not only to find a solution but also to be able to explain it. We use the game of Bridge to illustrate how tactics, which formalise domain-specific expertise, can be used for both these tasks. Our Bridge tactics constrain search to the point where optimal strategies can quickly be identified, and also provide the key to explaining these strategies in hu...

regarding the large number of developed particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithms and the various applications for which pso has been used, selecting the most suitable variant of pso for solving a particular optimization problem is a challenge for most researchers. in this paper, using a comprehensive survey and taxonomy on different types of pso, an expert system (es) is designed to identif...

nowadays, project selection is a vital decision in many organizations. because competition among research projects in order to gain more budgets and to attain new scientific domain has increased. due to multiple objectives and budgeting restrictions for academic research projects have led to the use of expert system for decision making by academic and research centers. the existing methods suff...

one-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. however, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. this paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...
