We describe here the use of power converter models, created originally in the simulation languages of ACSL and SABER, within the Virtual Test Bed (VTB). The VTB is a modeling and simulation software which is be ing developed for design and performance analysis of large-scale electric power systems. One of the most important features of the VTB is its capability for integrating into a common s...

A method for the successful extraction of sequestered cellular DNA from 14,000-year-old fossil bones was developed and applied to asphalt-preserved specimens of the extinct saber-toothed cat, Smilodon fatalis. Two distinct gene segments, the mitochondrial gene for 12S rRNA and nuclear FLA-I (the feline class I major histocompatibility complex gene), from three different individual fossil specim...

Linked Data use has expanded rapidly in recent years; however there is still a lack of support for casual users to create complex queries over this Web of Data. Until this occurs, the real benefits of having such rich metadata available will not be realised by the general public. This paper introduces an approach to supporting casual users discover relevant information across multiple Linked Da...

This paper presents the simulation performance of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter for high power density aerospace applications. The DAB converter topology has been chosen as it features high power density, high efficiency, bidirectional power flow capability, inherent soft switching, galvanic isolation and low number of passive components. Hence the converter is a candidate for high p...

Los tres pilares más importantes sobre los que la salud pública se sostiene, en mi opinión, son la ciencia, el altruismo y el activismo. La ciencia nos informa cuántos y quiénes son los que tienen un problema de interés, así como qué lo causa y bajo qué mecanismos para, finalmente, hacernos saber cuáles son las mejores medidas para controlarlo. De esta manera, por ejemplo, se ha generado el con...
