direct contact membrane distillation (dcmd) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. dcmd is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...

Translational medicine is a branch of medical research that attempts to more directly connect basic research to patient care. Translational medicine is growing in importance in the healthcare industry, and is a term whose precise definition is in flux. In the case of drug discovery and development, translational medicine typically refers to the “translation” of basic research into real therapie...

This paper proposes a modified primary flux linkage and an improved weighting less model predictive control for linear induction motors (LIMs) to enhance the drive system in terms of speed response, wide range, efficiency, computation time. Sliding mode controller is presented this work get quick response instead use PI controller. A (MPFC) employed eliminate factor reduce Furthermore, optimum ...

Two breeds of chickens were used to develop reference family and detect QTLs affecting egg quality traits: cocks of a native Polish breed Green-Legged Partidgenous (GlP) and hens of Rhode Island Red (RIR). During the first 100 days of the laying period, the GlP hens lay about 40 eggs weighting on average 50 g, whilst the RIR flock laid 83 eggs with a mean weight of 60 g. QTL analysis of egg qua...

The presence of linkage disequilibrium violates the underlying assumption of linkage equilibrium in most traditional multipoint linkage approaches. Studies have shown that such violation leads to bias in qualitative trait linkage analysis when parental genotypes are unavailable. Appropriate handling of marker linkage disequilibrium can avoid such false positive evidence. Using the rheumatoid ar...

This paper presents design procedures of a transverse flux linear motor (TFLM). The minimum and maximum flux linkage was determined by the simplified equivalent magnetic circuit and estimated average magnetic flux density at the air gap region by considering the shape of applied magnetomotive force (MMF). With this information, the number of turns of each phase winding was calculated based on t...

In the conventional direct torque control (DTC) of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), hysteresis controllers are employed to select the proper voltage vector resulting in large torque ripples, and the inverse voltage vector, used in this system instead of the zero voltage vectors used in an induction motor, can accelerate the torque response but enlarges the torque ripples at the same...

Switched reluctance (SR) machines are magnetically non-linear electromechanical devices and their full accurate performance prediction-especially of the instantaneous electromagnetic torque waveforms-is not amenable to closed-form analytical solutions. Consequently, analysis such is usually performed with aid computer-based numerical simulations that-even if providing good accuracy-do offer phy...
