This paper presents a modified nine switch inverter with two inputs and two Z-source networks. This inverter has two DC inputs and two AC outputs. Input DC voltages can be boosted to the required level. Amplitude, frequency and phase of AC output voltages can be controlled, independently. The proposed converter can be used in applications with two unregulated DC sources, which require feeding ...

Users draw on four sources to judge a robot’s competence: (1) the robot’s voice, (2) physical appearance of and (3) the interaction experience with the robot but also (4) the relationship between the robot’s physical appearance and its conduct. Furthermore, most approaches in social robotics have an outcome-oriented focus and thus use questionnaires to measure a global evaluation of the robot a...

This article describes the 11-year wave simulation (1992-2002) in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman using the input data derived from European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The ECMWF 10 meter wind field and spectral wave boundary condition at 18 ْN degree are input into one of the latest versions of numerical wave models (3rd generation) after a few local modifications. ...

The present article examines collaborative writing in organizational consulting and training, where takes place as part of a group discussion assignment is carried out by using digital technologies. In the groups use tablets their device order to document answers shared platform. Using multimodal conversation analysis method, illustrates way interactionally accomplished this setting intertwines...

The detection of genetically modified (GM) materials in food and feed products is a complex multi-step analytical process invoking screening, identification, and often quantification of the genetically modified organisms (GMO) present in a sample. "Combinatory qPCR SYBRGreen screening" (CoSYPS) is a matrix-based approach for determining the presence of GM plant materials in products. The CoSYPS...

In this paper, a modified analysis of Four Wave Mixing (FWM) by incorporating the third-order dispersion parameters is reported. With the help of a modified formula for FWM crosstalk, the effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters at different input channel powers has been analysed. Under the combined effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters, the crosstalk introduced by ...

The development of efficient search control methods is an active research topic in the field of planning (Kambhampati, Katukam, & Qu 1996). Investigation of a planning program integrated with a neural network (NN) that assists in search control is underway, and has produced promising preliminary results. Project Overview: The UCPOP partial order planner (Penberthy & Weld 1992) was used in this ...

This study demonstrates the modified projective synchronization in Chen-Lee chaotic system. The variable structure control technology is used to design the synchronization controller with input nonlinearity. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a nonlinear controller and some generic sufficient conditions can be obtained to guarantee the modified projective synchronization, including synchroniza...

This paper analyzes a school district conference panel discussion to illustrate how " culture " is an interactionally emergent construct and " identity " is performatively achieved through struggles to position the self and other in socially meaningful ways. In the interaction between the panel of Asian American teens and the audience of teachers, advisors, and administrators , the term " cultu...

The present experimental research investigates the feasibility of partial substitution of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) for the modification of bitumen and porous asphalt mixtures. The control asphalt mixture and the seven modified porous asphalt mixtures have been analyzed separately and their performance was compared. Modified bitumen and asp...
