This paper discusses problems that are common to both the epidemiologic risk-factor approach and the demographic variable-based approach to studying population health. We argue that there is a shared reluctance to move away from a narrow variable-based thinking that pervades both disciplines, and a tendency to reify the multivariate linear procedures employed in both disciplines. In particular,...

Switched Reluctance Machines are receiving significant attention from industries, because of its simple structure; inexpensive manufacturability and reliability make it superior to other electric machines. The objective of this paper is to achieve desired speed performance of 6/4 Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with reduced torque ripples. To achieve improved speed performance, PI+FUZZY control...

Switched reluctance drive (SRD) system has been used in many applications. However, because of its inherent nonlinearity, the design and analysis of SRD system is relatively difficult. In this paper, the development of design and analysis tool for SRD system based on MATLAB/GUIDE is studied. Firstly, the steps for the development of graphical user interface (GUI) by MATLAB/GUIDE are summarized....

This paper demonstrates the implementation of low cost switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and application of RT lab as real time hardware-in-loop (HIL) controller. Split DC converter and positioning sensing arrangement is developed for 500W 8/6 pole SRM. Control part is implemented using Opal RT Lab technology. Application and optimistic characteristics of proposed low cost drive are describ...
