We discovered a 1,3-dipolar species co-existing in two different structures. Photolysis of matrix-isolated 5-phenyltetrazole generates two forms of phenylnitrile imine: propargylic and allenic. They are not resonance structures but correspond to different energy minima, representing bond-shift isomers. These distinct species were characterized spectroscopically and confirmed by calculations up ...

In this paper, a simpler implementation of the well-known droop method for the control of parallel Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems is presented. In this method, in the power-sharing control scheme, the output current is calculated by software without the need for a current sensor, resulting in a simpler and cheaper structure. By doing so, the number of feedback sensors is reduced fro...

Absmacr-The Next-Generation Precipitation Radar (PR-2) prototyped by NASNJPL will depend heavily on high-performance digital processing to collect meaningful rain echo data. Using fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs), we have developed for the PR-2 a pulse-compression processor and adaptive timing controller that will enable full on-board processing capabilities in a 14 and 36 GHz spacebome ra...

In this paper, a novel and simple control strategy, based on state feedback method is suggested to control the power injection system (PIS). The considered PIS is composed of, a DC voltage source, a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a L-C-L filter. The DC source includes the battery source with boosted voltage. The battery can be charged with photovoltaic cells. Since, the grid voltage acts as ...

With increased penetration of renewable power and the nonlinear loads in distributed generation (DG) systems, quality concerns are exhibited active distribution networks, especially challenges associated with current voltage harmonics system.

1 pi − 2 j+1 > 7pr − 4pr > pr . If r is odd, set nk = ∏r1 pi − 2k+1. Then nk ≡ 3(4) (since 32 ≡ 1(4)). But no pi divides nk for 1 ≤ i ≤ r , so the integer nk has some prime factor qk ≡ 3(4) with qk > pr . If j = k, say j > k, the assumption that qk also divides n j leads to the same contradiction as earlier: since nk − n j = 2 j+1 − 2k+1 = 2k+1(2 j−k − 1), we have qk | 2 j−k − 1 and hence qk < ...

This paper investigates the operation of a currentcontrolled Voltage Source Converter (VSC) under weakgrid conditions caused by large grid impedance. Threedifferent current controller structures are investigated; theconventional decoupled PI-controller in the synchronouslyrotating reference frame, Proportional Resonant (PR)controllers in the stationary reference frame, a...

This paper presents a new multi-function conversion technique for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. The proposed bi-directional charger can achieve three functions, including EV battery charging, grid-connection and reactive compensation, which are keys for energy management of the grid. With the proposed multi-function technology, the bi-directional charger will benefit both the grid and ele...

Background: Matrix MetalloProteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix components to provide normal remodeling and contribute to pathological tissue destruction and cell migration in endometriosis. It is accepted that MMPs are resistant to suppression by progesterone in endometriotic tissues. The physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by its two progesterone receptor (PR) isoform...
