objective(s): systemic candidiasis is an infection of candida albicans (c. albicans) causing disseminated disease and sepsis, invariably when host defenses are compromised. we investigated the histopathological changes as well as the lymphoproliferative responses and cytokine production of splenic cells after stimulation with concanavalin a (con a) and pokeweed mitogen (pwm) in mice with dissem...

Although uniformly sampled pulse width modulation (UPWM) represents a very efficient digital audio coding scheme for digitalto-analog conversion and full-digital amplification, it suffers from strong harmonic distortions, as opposed to benign nonharmonic artifacts present in analog PWM (naturally sampled PWM, NPWM). Complete elimination of these distortions usually requires excessive oversampli...

Multilevel inverters have been widely applied industries. A family of optimal puisewidth modulation (PWM) methods for multilevel inverters, such as step modulation, can generate output voltage with less harmonic distortion than popular modulation strategies, such as the carrier-based sinusoidal PWM or the space vector PWM. However, some drawbacks limit the application of optimal PWM. One of suc...

This study is concerned with the estimation of the parameters of the general (or generalised) extreme value (GEV) distribution by the methods of maximum likelihood (ML) and probability-weighted moments (PWM) for complete and type I censored samples. For complete samples, the PWM provided estimators which are less biased than the ML estimators. For the variances/covariances of the parameter esti...

In this paper, hybrid pulse width modulation algorithm for vector controlled induction motor drives is used to reduce the steady state ripple in current. Also the newly developed Hybrid PWM technique does not use angle and sector information and hence it simplifies the control algorithm. The conventional Space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm gives inferior performance at higher...

For dynamic closed loop control of a multilevel converter with a low switching frequency, natural sampled PWM is the best form of modulation. However previous natural sampled PWM implementations have generally been analog. A digital implementation has advantages, particularly for a multilevel converter. Re-sampled uniform PWM, a modulation technique which approaches the performance of natural P...
