Two‐Level Voltage Source Inverter

This chapter focuses on pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes for the highpower two? level inverter, where the device switching frequency is normally below 1 kHz. A carrier based sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) scheme is reviewed, followed by a detailed analysis of space vector modulation (SVM) algorithms. The conventional SVM scheme usually generates both even? and odd? order harmonic voltages. The chapter analyses mechanism of even? order harmonic generation, and presents a modified SVM scheme for even? order harmonic elimination. The primary function of a voltage source inverter (VSI) is to convert a fixed DC voltage to a three? phase AC voltage with variable magnitude and frequency. The dwell time for the stationary vectors essentially represents the duty? cycle time of the chosen switches during a sampling period. The dwell time calculation is based on 'volt? second balancing' principle, the product of the reference voltage and sampling period equals the sum of the voltage multiplied by the time interval of chosen space vectors.
Economic Literacy, Self-Control, Religiosity, and Consumption: A Mediation Study on Shopee Users’ Lifestyle

This study explores the impact of economic literacy, self-control, religiosity, and lifestyle on consumption behaviour among Shopee customers. The research method utilizes path analysis to identify the influence of lifestyle variables that have been considered. This study’s regression analysis revealed that economic literacy, self-control, and religiosity negatively impacted consumptive behaviour. The variables of economic literacy, on the other hand, have a strong positive impact on lifestyle. Furthermore, self-control and religiosity have a negative and minor impact on one’s lifestyle. Lifestyle variable routes can mediate the influence of economic literacy on wasteful behaviour in the analytical test. On the other hand, lifestyle cannot mitigate the impact of self-control and religiosity on consumption.
Indefinite markers, grammaticalization, and language contact phenomena in Chinese

Grammaticalization and language contact are often treated separately, suggesting that these are two distinct, divergent phenomena (Heine & Kuteva, 2003). This however, is known not to be the case. The grammaticalization of an indefinite marker, for instance, can occur due to language contact or be hastened by it (Moravcsik, 2013:200). Contrary to assumptions of many grammarians working in Chinese linguistics, recent work on Standard Chinese (e.g. Chen 2003, Huang 1999) argues that Chinese makes use of determiners. However, few explanations have been given as to why this development has taken place. I suggest that contact with English has encouraged the grammaticalization of the indefinite marker, yi ‘one’ + CLASSIFIER. More specifically, the translation of English texts into Chinese has contributed to the development of an indefinite marker in Chinese (Hsu 1994).
Measurement of the e+e-→Ks0K±π∓π0 and Ks0K±π∓η cross sections using initial-state radiation

The processes e^+e^− → K^0_SK^±π^∓π^0 and e^+e^− → K^0_SK^±π^∓η are studied over a continuum of energies from threshold to 4 GeV with the initial-state photon radiation method. Using 454 fb^(-1) of data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II storage ring, the first measurements of the cross sections for these processes are obtained. The intermediate resonance structures from K^(*0)(Kπ)^0, K^∗(892)^±(Kπ)^∓ , and K^0_SK^±ρ^∓ are studied. The J/ψ is observed in all of these channels, and corresponding branching fractions are measured.
Child protection services during COVID-19 in Oman, child protection workers views

Introduction: Child Protection Services (CPSs) are dedicated to providing protection and responding to any threats a child could face as children worldwide could be abused. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic affected all aspects of life. Procedures implemented to restrict the spread of the disease (such as reduced access to services, school closure, and social distancing measures) had an impact on child life and maltreatment. Therefore, it is important to know the impact of this pandemic on child abuse and protection. Aim and rationales: This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on CPSs in Oman by studying the change in the number of reported cases of child abuse and the change in the reporting procedure at the Ministry of Social Development (MOSD). In addition, know the impact of the restriction measures on child rights and risk factors of child maltreatment based on CPSs workers’ opinions and experience. To understand the adaptation of the CPSs to the change in work and life environment imposed by COVID-19. Method: A cross-section study was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire, that was distributed to the workers involved in the CPSs at the MOSD in Oman. Data also were collected from the statistical bulletins on the Ministry’s website. Results: COVID-19 pandemic was not found associated with a significant change in the number and type of child abuse cases reported to the MOSD. The reporting procedures also did not change. In addition, the pattern of child abuse types did not change before and during the pandemic, as neglect cases were the most. The participants judged the restriction measures affecting family life through separation, cyber abuse, and reduced educational support. With regard to intervention and follow-up procedures, the main difference was in the communication processes by using online communication methods and reducing the fieldwork for mild cases. Conclusion: CPSs in Oman were not much affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which may reflect the success of this system in dealing with the restriction measures. However, more solutions should be developed to adapt to these circumstances in the future altogether.
Suicide in veterinary medicine: A literature review

Veterinarians are commonly exposed to occupational stressors, including excessive workload and financial constraints. These stressors can lead to psychological distress, which typically results in mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and burnout and can even culminate in suicide attempts or suicide deaths. Risk factors associated with poor mental health and high rates of suicide in veterinary practitioners include continuous exposure to challenging scenarios, such as interpersonal conflicts, performing euthanasia, and easy access to lethal means of suicide, such as opioids and anesthetics. The previous studies highlight the urgent need for a better understanding of predisposing factors, mental health-related improvements in the professional environment, and the subsequent establishment of primary mental health-related care policies. Effective ways to promote mental health and prevent suicide may include social support, resilience, developing coping skills, promoting a healthy work environment, and discouraging perfectionist behaviors. This review aimed to summarize findings in studies that have investigated mental health and suicide in veterinarians and veterinary students and highlight measures that could be implemented as options for mental health promotion and suicide prevention.
Association between periodontitis and metabolic syndrome: A review

Periodontitis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are concerning issues affecting well-being and are prevalent. The MetS comprises a conglomerate of numerous physical conditions that occur concurrently, as well as intensifying the likelihood of heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Periodontitis is a microbial oral condition that causes the loss of tooth attachment and can proceed to edentulism if left untreated. Epidemiologic, experimental, and interventional studies have documented that periodontitis could have a consequence on systemic health and share a common pathway with several chronic noncommunicable diseases, namely DM, cardiovascular disease, and MetS. Current data suggest that periodontitis may promote the onset or acceleration of MetS. The overall oxidative load and overactive inflammatory repercussions could be responsible for this interaction. As a result, it is crucial to comprehend the current condition of the association as well as the prospective contribution of periodontitis to MetS. The findings of published studies that provide consistent data on the varied outcomes of periodontitis on MetS are encapsulated in this review. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, original studies, and review articles were appraised in synthesizing this review, using PubMed and Google Scholar search engines.
How career adaptability influences job embeddedness of self-initiated expatriates? The mediating role of job crafting

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between career adaptability, job crafting, and job embeddedness, and it was predicted that career adaptability promotes job embeddedness in self-initiated expatriates by increasing their job crafting behavior. Data were collected from 881 self-initiated expatriates from multinational companies in the United Arab Emirates, which were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The structural equation modeling results support the proposed hypotheses and suggest that career adaptability and job crafting are associated with job embeddedness. Specifically, career adaptability is effective in promoting job embeddedness through job crafting. Therefore, career adaptability is an important antecedent for self-initiated proactivity and job embeddedness in organizations.
Board Characteristics and The Financial Performance of Agricultural Firms Listed in The Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya

Agricultural sector can be classified as the engine of the non-agricultural economy, which is inclusive of manufacturing, by way of provision of inputs and markets for non-agricultural operations that includes infrastructure, education, tourism and other social services. In spite of inputs of this sector into the Kenyan economy, agricultural firms listed in the NSE are only six and still these ones have been registering declining performance. The poor performance poses threat to the sector and raises questions on how the companies are managed. The study therefore endeavored to ascertain the board characteristics adopted by the listed agricultural firm and how they impacted their financial performance. Pointedly, the paper work would demonstrate the board size effect, its independence, directors’ education level and board diversity on the NSE li sted agricultural firm’s performance. The theories underpinning the study were agency, resource based, stewardship and stakeholder theories. Causal research6design was also adopted and6the population study entailed the six firms relating to agricultural sector listed at the NSE. The necessary information and Data was procured from the Nairobi Securities Exchange covering six years (2016 – 2021). Using the Karl Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions, the data6analysis6was6done and also using descriptive6and inferential statistics. Rights, freedom, security of the participants and confidentiality were preserved in this study. The conclusive results indicated agricultural firms with larger board sizes never outperformed those with smaller board sizes. Board independence impacted significantly and favourably on the financial performance of the agricultural enterprises. This was to mean that the bigger the number of independent directors, the better the performance as compared to those with a lower ratio. The findings also indicated that agricultural enterprises’ financial performance is positively and significantly impacted by the board diversity implying that performance would increase if there were more female directors in the firms. The directors’ educational background was also found to have a positive and significant impact on the firms’
Screening of Blood Glucose Concentration in Domestic Cat (Felis Catus) Based on Body Condition Score, Breed, and Sex Using Portable Blood Glucose Meter

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common endocrine disease in domestic cats. Breed, sex, being overweight to an extent of obesity are predisposing factors for developing T2DM. One of the most common laboratory analyses conducted to confirm this disease is blood glucose concentrations. The aim of this research is to determine blood glucose concentration in domestic cats based on BCS, breed, and sex using a portable blood glucose meter. Research samples were obtained by taking blood samples from the marginal ear vein of 131 domestic cats that matched the sample’s criteria, took at 2-hours post prandial, and drip onto the Sinocare strip. The results showed that the average blood glucose concentration was in the normal range, with a total of ideal (BCS ≥3/5) domestic cats (n=43) was 75.74 mg/dL, overweight (BCS ≥4/5) domestic cats (n=44) was 78.23 mg/dL, obese (BCS ≥5/5) domestic cats (n=44) was 89.66 mg/dL, male (n=51) was 80.57 mg/dL, female (n=80) was 81.69 mg/dL, Mixed Breed (n= 119) was 81.03 mg/dL, Angora (n=5) was 84.20 mg/dL, Persian (n=6) was 81.50 mg/dL and Ragdoll (n=1) was 92 mg/dL. Pearson correlation showed BCS (r=0.403; p= 0.000) had a moderate, positive, and significant correlation with blood glucose concentration in domestic cats. Meanwhile, the results of Kendall’s Tau correlation showed that breed (p=0.740) and sex (p=0.555) had insignificant correlation with blood glucose concentration in domestic cats.
A Young Adult With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Following Weeks of Initial COVID-19 Respiratory Infection, With No Prior COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) following COVID-19, a condition primarily diagnosed in children, has also been observed less frequently in adults. It usually presents with a multitude of symptoms, mimicking a shock-like state characterized by multiple organ failure. Diagnosis often involves ruling out other conditions and timely management to mitigate morbidity and mortality. In this case, a 39-year-old unvaccinated Caucasian male patient reported symptoms of fever, chills, night sweats, diarrhea, headache, nasal congestion, and facial pain. Despite treatment with antipyretics, the fever persisted. The patient had tested positive for COVID-19 via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) six weeks prior. Clinical findings included low oxygen saturation, sinus tachycardia, abnormal liver function, elevated inflammatory markers, a negative respiratory viral panel, a negative immunologic workup, and a positive Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) PCR. Following complaints of chest pain which quickly escalated to cardiac arrest, he was diagnosed with myopericarditis. These manifestations met the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) diagnostic criteria as stipulated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The diagnosis of MIS-A was reached through exclusion. Notably, the patient responded well to symptomatic management. Given the infrequent occurrence of MIS-A cases, even in 2023, it remains a challenging diagnosis. Despite existing guidelines for management, the recovery of this patient solely through symptomatic treatment prior to the consideration of conventional treatment is striking. The patient had concurrent infections, including a C. difficile infection, but these did not account for the overall clinical presentation, particularly the myopericarditis and positive laboratory findings.
Convexified Open-Loop Stochastic Optimal Control for Linear Systems With Log-Concave Disturbances

In this article, we consider open-loop solutions to the stochastic optimal control of a linear dynamical system with an additive non-Gaussian, log-concave disturbance. We propose a novel, sampling-free approach, based on characteristic functions and convex optimization, to cast the stochastic optimal control problem as a difference-of-convex program. Our method invokes higher moments, resulting in less conservatism compared to moment-based approaches. We employ piecewise affine approximations and the convex–concave procedure for efficient solution via standard conic solvers. We demonstrate that the proposed solution is competitive with sampling- and moment-based approaches, without compromising probabilistic constraints.
Subsampled STEM-ptychography

Ptychography has been shown to be an efficient phase contrast imaging technique for scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM). STEM-ptychography uses a fast pixelated detector to collect a “4-dimensional” dataset consisting of a 2D electron diffraction pattern at every probe position of a 2D raster-scan. This 4D dataset can be used to recover the phase-image. Current camera technology, unfortunately, can only achieve a frame rate of a few thousand detector frames-per-second (fps), which means that the acquisition time of the 4D dataset is up to 1000× slower than the scanning speed in a conventional STEM, thereby limiting the potential applications of this method for dose-fragile and dynamic specimens. In this letter, we demonstrate that subsampling provides an effective method for optimizing ptychographic acquisition by reducing both the number of detector-pixels and the number of probe positions. Subsampling and recovery of the 4D dataset are shown using an experimental 4D dataset with randomly removed detector-pixels and probe positions. After compressive sensing recovery, Wigner distribution deconvolution is applied to obtain phase-images. Randomly sampling both the probe positions and the detector at 10% gives sufficient information for phase-retrieval and reduces acquisition time by 100×, thereby making STEM-ptychography competitive with conventional STEM.Ptychography has been shown to be an efficient phase contrast imaging technique for scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM).

similar tasks will know tha t a major difficulty is the choice of topic: complexity of technique must be avoided, while too great a reliance on qualitative description may prevent arrival a t precise, striking, demonstrable results. In the present volume, the authors have skilfully steered between these extremes. The items are: (1) sets and functions (G. T. Kneebone); (2) special relativity (J. R. Ellis); (3) integers and primes (S. J . Taylor); (4) waves (P. Chadwick); (5) square Fibonacci numbers (J. H. E. Cohn); (6) digital computers (M. Levison); (7) the isoperimetrical problem (H. G. Eggleston). All are good; (1) and (6) are largely descriptive, (4) gently presents partial differential equations. In (5), Dr. Cohn gives his own proof, using nothing more highbrow than Fermat 's theorem, of the long-conjectured result tha t in the Fibonacci sequence defined b y / , = / 2 = 1,/n+a = fn+i +/n> the only squares are fi,fi,fi2 = 144. Professor Eggleston, on his own ground of convexity, traces the powerful concepts of Steiner and of Bonnesen in dealing with the largest area for a given perimeter, and takes his readers up to a point a t which they can begin a study of the fascinating and fruitful work of Polya and Szego on isoperimetric inequalities. At one time, pupils about to go up to a university to read mathematics were not always well-informed about the nature of university mathematics, and the unexpected transition sometimes induced severe mental indigestion. No doubt, such matters are better ordered today; certainly a book such as this is a great help in this direction, and it should be available to all sixth-form mathematicians and their teachers.
V-Band Geodesic Generalized Luneburg Lens Antenna With High Beam Crossover Gain

Quasi-optical beamformers provide attractive properties for antenna applications at millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies. Antennas implemented with these beamformers have demonstrated wide-angle switching of directive beams, making them suitable as base station antennas for future communication networks. For these applications, it is essential to ensure a high beam crossover gain to provide a robust service to end users within the steering range. Here, we propose a geodesic generalized Luneburg lens antenna operating from 57 to 67 GHz that provides increased crossover gain compared to previously reported geodesic Luneburg lens antennas. The focal curve of the generalized Luneburg lens can be displaced from the beamformer, allowing for a higher angular resolution in the placement of the feed array along the focal curve. The lens is fed with 21 ridge waveguides with an angular separation of 5.1°, thus providing beam steering in a 102° range. The peak realized gain varies from 19 to 21 dBi throughout the steering and frequency ranges and the beam crossover gain is roughly 3 dB below the peak gain. The simulations are experimentally validated.
