In this paper, a new topology for boost Z-source inverterbased on switched-inductor cell is proposed. The operating modes of the proposed inverter are analyzed and also a suitable control method to generate the trigger signals of the inverter is presented. Having a common earth between the input source and inverter and capability to generate a higher voltage gain by using lower amounts of the d...

This paper investigates the quasi-static plane deformation of an isotropic thermoelastic half-space due to buried seismic sources and heat source. Governing equations of thermo-elasticity are solved to obtain solutions for seismic sources in a thermoelastic half-space. The general solutions are acquired with the aid of Laplace and Fourier transforms and with the use of boundary conditions. The ...

application of radioactive isotopes is the treatment of choice around the globe for many cancer sites. in this technique, the accuracy of the radiation delivery is highly dependent on the accuracy of radiation dosimetry around individual brachytherapy sources. moreover, in order to have compatible clinical results, an identical method of source dosimetry must be employed across the world. this ...

after its conquest, khorasan came under the administration of the islamic caliphate and found particular importance due to its possession of natural resources and its location on the international trade route. the region excelled in local industries, agricultural products and the transition of eastern goods, and used to provide the required resources of islamic states. some of the policies of t...

In this paper, a new circuit is proposed for step-up Z-source inverter based on QZSI (quasi-Z-source inverter). The proposed topology inherits all advantages of the conventional topology. The proposed topology in comparison with conventional topology reduces the ST (Shoot-through) duty cycle by over 25% at the same voltage boost factor. Theoretical analysis of the proposed qZSI in the ST and no...

Protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. Provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. Different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. These protein sources differ...

introduction: clinical application of encapsulated radioactive brachytherapy sources has a major role in cancer treatment. in the present research, the effects of different tissue densities on the dose distribution of a 103pd brachytherapy source in a spherical phantom of 50 cm radius have been studied. material and methods: as is well known, absorbed dose in tissue depends to its density, but ...

in this paper, free convection in an inclined stepped chamber has been studied. one wall of this enclosure is kept cold and the opposite wall equipped with constant heat source. the remaining walls are maintained adiabatic. there is one adiabatic step on the bottom wall. the aim of the present study is to forecast the effect of raleigh number, slope of enclosure, step dimension, and heat source...

dyke swarms emplacement constitutes one of the conspicuous features of the neoproterozoic arabian-nubian shield (ans) (~950-540ma). based on field investigations, petrographic and geochemical characteristics the dyke swarms in nw sinai (egypt) comprise of mafic (dolerite-trachy-basalt-basalt), intermediate (basaltic-andesite trachy-andesite) and felsic (rhyodacite-rhyolite) varieties. geochemic...
