Traditional printed journals are a familiar and comfortable aspect of scholarly work. They have been the primary means of communicating research results, and as such have performed an invaluable service. However, they are an awkward artifact, although a highly developed one, of the print technology that was the only means available over the last few centuries for large-scale communication. The ...

Abstract—The main topic of this paper are the EMI reduction problems in high voltage power converters with 6.5 kV IGBTs. The generation process of electromagnetic interference is briefly analyzed, some EMI reduction methods are introduced. Theoretical analysis, calculation and experimental results of choosing the snubber circuit for minimization of parasitic ringing are described. The effect of...

Argument from analogy is a common and formidable form of reasoning in law and in everyday conversation. Although there is substantial literature on the subject, according to a recent survey ( Juthe 2005) there is little fundamental agreement on what form the argument should take, or on how it should be evaluated.
