The most distinct advantage of electric vehicle is its quick and precise torque generation. However, most electric vehicles developed until now have not yet utilized it. In this paper, two novel traction control techniques of electric vehicle using this advantage are proposed. One is the model following control and another is the optimal slip ratio control. The basic effectiveness of the propos...

Introduction: As a physical treatment, electrochemical therapy (ECHT) has provided an effective and useful  approach  for  treating  localized  tumors.  The  chemical  changes  due  to  a  direct  electric  current  destroy  the  tumor. This study evaluates the effect of electrical dose and polarity on the efficacy of the treatment of a  colon tumor model.  Materials and Methods: In order to in...

Abstract: DC auxiliary systems are usually relied upon as the last source of reliable electric power at an installation of power plants and substations. Because DC auxiliary systems and battery power sources differ from AC systems, it is important that DC system protection designer is aware of their special considerations. In Standard IEC 61660-1 is given mathematical model for dynamics analysi...

It is demonstrated that elastic collisions of ultracold atoms forming a heteronuclear collision complex can be manipulated by laboratory practicable dc electric fields. The mechanism of electric field control is based on the interaction of the instantaneous dipole moment of the collision pair with external electric fields. It is shown that this interaction is dramatically enhanced in the presen...

Weak transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces persisting excitability changes in the human motor cortex. These plastic excitability changes are selectively controlled by the polarity, duration and current strength of stimulation. To reveal the underlying mechanisms of direct current (DC)-induced neuroplasticity, we combined tDCS of the motor cortex with the application of Na(+)-ch...

-This paper presents modeling, design and analysis of a bidirectional half-bridge DC/DC converter suitable for power electronic interface between the main energy system and the electric traction drive in hybrid electric vehicles. A solar based renewable energy system is considered as input. A parallel dc-linked multi input converter with a half-bridge bidirectional DC/DC cell topology is chosen...

This paper addresses a bi-directional dc/dc converter suitable for an energy storage system with an additional function of galvanic isolation. An energy storage device such as an electric double layer capacitor is directly connected to one of the dc buses of the dc/dc converter without any chopper circuit. Nevertheless, the dc/dc converter can continue operating when the voltage across the ener...

DC loads (such as computers, data centres, electric vehicle chargers, and LED lamps) and dc distributed energy resources (such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and energy storages) are rapidly growing in electric power systems, so dc systems are being introduced as emerging practical investment solutions compared to traditional ac options. DC microgrids offer several advantages such as the e...

Electrically driven resistance change in metal oxides opens up an interdisciplinary research field for next-generation non-volatile memory. Resistive switching exhibits an electrical polarity dependent "bipolar-switching" and a polarity independent "unipolar-switching", however tailoring the electrical polarity has been a challenging issue. Here we demonstrate a scaling effect on the emergence ...
