This paper proposes a high voltage ratio and low ripple interleaved boost DC-DC converter, which can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple. This converter transfers the low DC voltage of fuel cell to high DC voltage in DC link. The structure of the converter is parallel with two voltage-doubler boost converters by interleaving their output voltages to reduce the voltage ripple ratio. Besi...

BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to analyse whether azacitidine is a cost-effective option for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome in the Spanish setting compared with conventional care regimens, including best supportive care, low dose chemotherapy and standard dose chemotherapy. METHODS A life-time Markov model was constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of azacitidine...

Tunnel FETs are interesting devices for their steep sub-threshold slopes. In this paper a p+n+in+ tunnel FET is proposed and optimized for a high Ion/Ioff ratio and suitable output characteristics. The proposed tunnel FET has p+in+ structure with a δ-doped n+ region at the beginning of the channel. The proposed structure is extensively studied and the energy bands, transfer characteristics, and...

In this paper, we have measured channel capacity for various communication system such as SISO, SIMO, MIMO with different modulation technique like BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM. In the proposed algorithm the Bit Error Rate (BER) is less compared to conventional algorithm. The proposed algorithm is suitable for fast speed traffic that is when the speed of the mobile is very high. We have measur...

BACKGROUND Resuscitation fluid rates following burn are currently guided by a weight and burn size formulae, then titrated to urine output. Traditionally, 24h resuscitation is reported as volume of resuscitation received without direct consideration for the physiologic response. We propose an input-to-output ratio to describe the course of burn resuscitation and predict eventual outcomes. MET...

This paper reconsiders Andrei Shleifer and Robert Vishny’s suggestion that a socialist industry will always prefer to cut both price and output relative to a market– clearing equilibrium in order to maximise bribe income. The evidence from recent archival studies of the Soviet economy does not support this conjecture. To understand the evidence we present an analytical framework within which a ...

in this paper, the grouting ability of sandy soils is investigated by artificial neural networks based on the results of chemical grout injection tests. in order to evaluate the soil grouting potential, experimental samples were prepared and then injected. the sand samples with three different particle sizes (medium, fine, and silty) and three relative densities (%30, %50, and %90) were injecte...

the sources of output growth of iranian agriculture over the years 1986-2001 has been examined, using a decomposition method within the input-output (io) framework. the three comparable io tables of 1986, 1991, and 2001 have been employed as the main data sources. output changes from a demand side perspective, and decomposition of the growth of output into components attributable to consumption...
