This paper investigates the reliability of an isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter (IBBC) based on configuration a series resonant (SRC). Two approaches are employed to predict IBBC reliability, which MIL-HDBK-217F handbook and FIDES guide. The latter approach can take into account how failure rate components physics is influenced by varying yearly mission profile. To do this, thermal loading ea...

O processo existencial inerente ao tornar-se cristão supõe uma escalada composta por rupturas, saltos qualitativos e escolhas que refletem diretamente o estádio no qual indivíduo se encontra. Se a evolução interior do cristianismo é possível, porque ela exige ação consciente provocada pela decisão marca transição entre esferas qualitativas. Tanto dimensão estética quanto ética mostraram insufic...

As a mathematical tool, variable-order (VO) fractional calculus (FC) was developed rapidly in the engineering field due to it better describing anomalous diffusion problems engineering; thus, research of solutions VO differential equations (FDEs) has become hot topic for FC community. In this paper, we propose an effective numerical method, named as ε-approximate approach, based on least square...

Fides Quaerens Corporalitatem: Perspectives on liturgical embodiment In the light of a number of paradigm shifts that have taken place in practical theological methodology, this article proposes an integrative approach that takes the fundamental role of embodiment into account. A brief discussion of the theological understanding of embodiment is followed by a reflection on certain liturgical im...

An algorithm for parallel processing the discrete nonlinear system for solving Fredholm integro-differential equations with twopoint boundary conditions on a PC cluster is considered. The cost of calculating the history terms is expensive and improvements are motivated by considering different architectures. The algorithm has been modified to minimize the communication overhead inherent in a di...
