Reliability is one of the key issues for the application of Silicon carbide (SiC) diode in high power conversion systems. For instance, in high voltage direct current (HVDC) converters, the devices can be submitted to high voltage transients which yield to avalanche. This paper presents the experimental evaluation of SiC diodes submitted to avalanche, and shows that the energy dissipation in th...

objective: the use of hema as a biocompatible material in dentin bonding systems and its potential for clinical applications has been well established. excess water can affect conversion of bonding resins. the aim of this study was to survey the effect of water on the degree of conversion of hema by fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ft-ir). materials and methods: in this experimental st...

in the present study, the effects of calcium doping on the performance of the co-precipitated cu-mgo catalysts prepared with different calcium loadings in the selective hydrogenation of furfuraldehyde were investigated. the results proved that the addition of this promoter had a remarkable impact on the catalytic performance. the conversion of furfuraldehyde enhanced up to 83% and the furfuryl ...
