In this paper, a high frequency contactless power transfer (CPT) system is designed with ∅2 inverter drive. This system works in 30MHz frequency and 380W power with low voltage stress and considers the inductive link parasitic capacitor effect. In the design, we formulated the inverter equations first and then suggested another design for the transmitter and the receiver coils as the energy tra...

The general literature on the phonetic correlates of stress agrees that duration, and in stress accent languages, F0 are consistent correlates of stress. However, the role of amplitude changes in the speech signal is more controversial. In particular, the conflicting results of spectral tilt as a correlate of stress have been attributed to the effects of vowel reduction. We examined the stress ...

Structural components subjected to high frequency vibrations, such as those used in vibrating parts of gas turbine engines, are usually required to avoid resonance frequencies. Generally, the operating frequency is designed at more than resonance frequencies. When a vibrating structure starts or stops, the structure has to pass through a resonance frequency, which results in large stress concen...

In current theories of word reading the structure and operations of the phonological buffer are quite underspecified. We investigated this issue by running a reading aloud experiment in Italian. We adopted a priming paradigm, with three-syllabic words as primes and targets and we jointly manipulated two effects ascribed to the stage of phonological and phonetic encoding, that is stress priming ...

Social stress may play a role in urinary bladder dysfunction in humans, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the present study, we explored changes in bladder function caused by social stress using mouse models of stress and increasing stress. In the stress paradigm, individual submissive FVB mice were exposed to C57BL/6 aggressor mice directly/indirectly for 1 h/day for 2 or 4 wk. Inc...

Introduction. The professional education can be a very stressful experience. The high level of stress often leads to disruptions in physiological and psychological health. Although a moderate degree of stress can promote students’ creativity and achievement, the intense pressures and relentless demands of medical education may destroy personal relationship and ultimately, affect patient care. ...
