An in vitro cell-mediated immune response to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) is described. Rat lymphocytes were stimulated by PWM, by phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and by concanavalin A (ConA). In the presence of PWM only a fraction of the lymphocytes underwent blastogenesis. This was in contrast to the apparent total blastogenesis obtained in response to PHA or ConA. When blast cells derived from each of t...

Abstract— This paper presents the simulation of three phase five-level modular multilevel cascade inverter based on double-star chopper-cell (DSCC). The multicarrier PWM techniques such as Phase disposition PWM (PDPWM), Phase opposition disposition PWM (PODPWM), Alternate phase opposition disposition PWM (APODPWM), and Phase shift PWM (PSPWM) is employed and a comparative study is done based on...

This paper compares the performance of diode clamped three level inverter based STATCOM with sinusoidal and space vector PWM techniques. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is the most advantageous technique than the conventional sinusoidal PWM technique for a multilevel inverter. The space vector pulse width modulation technique is an advanced, computation-intensive PWM metho...

A full-order dynamic model of the pulse-width modulation (PWM) DC-to-DC SEPIC converter in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is presented in this paper. The derivation procedure is based on the smallsignal PWM switch model in DCM used in conjunction with a PWM derived SEPIC topology. The small-signal characteristics of the PWM SEPIC converter in DCM obtained in a similar way as the small-sign...

In this paper, we propose a PWM (Personal Web Map) which is a personal and small database of interesting Web pages to a user, and develop a method to construct it under the user’s control of multiple Web robots. Though general search engine with large databases like YaHoo, AltaVista, MetaCrawler are valid, it is important that a user constructs a small, personal database of relevant Web pages t...

Position weight matrix (PWM) is not only one of the most widely used bioinformatic methods, but also a key component in more advanced computational algorithms (e.g., Gibbs sampler) for characterizing and discovering motifs in nucleotide or amino acid sequences. However, few generally applicable statistical tests are available for evaluating the significance of site patterns, PWM, and PWM scores...

The PWM principle is used to control the output voltage of the three-phase inverters. There are many possible PWM techniques proposed in literature. Among these the space-vector PWM (SVM) method is an advanced PWM method and is possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for variable-frequency drive applications. The classical SVPWM which is used in the direct torque control of induction mot...
