Integration of Battery Charging Process for EVs Into Segmented Three-Phase Motor Drive With V2G-Mode Capability

The integration of nine-phase permanent magnet synchronous machines (nine-phase PMSMs), employed in on-board integrated battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs), into three-phase grid generates an inevitable torque fluctuation in charging and vehicles to grid (V2G) modes. This undesirable torque, which is the source of motor vibration and noise, is due to the interaction among the zero-sequence current, triplen harmonics (third and ninth) of induced back electromotive force, and rotor position. In this article, a new solution for nine-winding integrated battery chargers of EVs is considered. A segmented three-phase PMSM with nine windings is used to replace the nine-phase PMSMs. With this configuration, the system has the advantage of torque-free in charging/V2G mode, low core loss, and simple control (based on the three-phase control) in both traction and charging/V2G modes, with the privilege of employing the reduced number of sensor and with no additional new elements. Through proper three-phase control strategy, the system operates under unity power factor with total harmonic distortion below 5%. Control strategies for charging, V2G, and motoring are given; moreover, the simulation and experimental results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis.

The results of this study indicate that there is a significant influence between employee integrity on employee job satisfaction at the Community Health Center in the City of Padang.
Molecular identification of differentially expressed Zinc related genes in cultivated bread wheat

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required for adequate growth of plant species. Zinc is particularly needed for structural and functional integrity of enzymes and biological membranes and directly involved in synthesis of protein. Consequently, Zn deficiency results in severe decreases in growth and yield. Among the crop species, wheat is very sensitive to Zn deficiency. There is very limited information on the molecular mechanisms affecting expression of high Zn deficiency tolerance. Our objective in this study is, therefore, to identify the differentially expressed cDNA fragments in response to varying levels of Zn applications in a tolerant cultivated wheat genotype. For this purpose, we performed a screening experiment by using a number of cultivated bread wheat genotypes which displayed a considerable variation in response to Zn deficiency. Among various modern bread wheat genotypes tested, Bezostaja was selected as the most tolerant genotype. mRNA differential display method has been used to study the expression profile of Bezostaja genotype exposed to different Zn treatments. We observed 20 differentially expressed cDNA bands by using mRNA differential display. Out of 20 cDNA fragments that were isolated, cloned and sequenced, 14 cDNAs displayed similarity with previously identified metal Zn binding proteins and enzymes such as; alcohol dehydrogenase, cystathionine gamma synthase, and cation diffusion facilitator family transporter containing protein.

Zn treatment effects on biological potential of fennel bulbs as affected by in vitro digestion process

a fresh ingredient in many dishes, such as salads and soups. Ots consumption is recognized as having several health benefits and therapeutic activities, particularly on digestive disorders, but also as antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. Such virtues may be attributed to the presence of phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids and polyacetylenes in relatively high amounts (Rawson et al., 2013). The present research aimed to follow the antioxidant activity of two cultivated fennel bulb varieties (‘Latina’ and ‘Doux Florence’) either in the absence or presence of Zn supplementation during an in vitro digestion simulation. At the same time, it was also our goal to evaluate the effects of digested fennel bulb cultivated in the presence of Zn on the survival of E. coli during the exposure to a simulated gastrointestinal digestion model to elucidate about the potential protection action for human consumers. Abstract Zn treatment effects on the stability of polyphenols, MDA (malondialdehyde) content, antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition activities of two varieties of fennel bulbs were studied by using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. Likewise, the effect of Zn on viability cells of E. coli was also performed. The results revealed that high amounts of total phenolic and flavonoid compounds were released during the digestion process, especially after the intestinal phase. Additionally, the antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibitory activity were affected by the gastrointestinal digestion process and seems to be correlated with total phenol contents. Dn the other hand, the viability of E. coli was not affected by the activity of our tested bulbs during passage through the artificial digestion model, but the treated bulbs activity contribute relatively to the inhibition growth of bacteria. The survival of E. coli in fennel bulbs was challenged with simulated gastrointestinal fluids and the results showed that the E. coli strains, despite having experienced a viability reduction at the intestinal phase, were able to overcome the exposure to the gastrointestinal synthetic fluids. This E. coli ability reinforces the need for good hygienic measures to assure safe fresh produce, even for those that are rich in antibacterial compounds.

Mechanisms of Paraquat Resistance

Ten weed species have developed resistance to paraquat. Evidence supporting two potential mechanisms of resistance has been reported in several species. Resistance may be due to the rapid sequestration of paraquat thus reducing levels of paraquat at the site of action in the chloroplast; alternatively, resistance may be due to the rapid enzymatic detoxification of superoxide and other toxic forms of oxygen.
Optimal SINR-Based DoS Attack Scheduling for Remote State Estimation via Adaptive Dynamic Programming Approach

This article considers the energy-limited denial-of-service attack scheduling problem on remote state estimation under signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio-based channels. The goal of the attacker is to design the optimal attack strategy to degrade the control performance of cyber-physical systems and to reduce his energy consumption. First, to weigh the importance between the current and future rewards, an optimization problem with a discount factor is formulated, which is used to reflect the attacker’s goal. Next, a Markov decision problem (MDP) is formulated to solve the optimization problem. Due to the difficulty of solving the high-dimensional MDP with unknown transition and reward functions, a value iteration adaptive dynamic programming method is proposed to achieve an approximate optimal solution. Also, convergence analysis of the proposed algorithm is carried out. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the efficiency and feasibility of the obtained results.
Prevalence of Canine Infectious Endocarditis and Possible Association with Bartonella spp. in Bangkok, Thailand

Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a heart valve or endocardial disease. Bartonella spp . are considered one of the causes of IE. The objective was to study the prevalence of canine IE in Bangkok, Thailand with an emphasis on Bartonella spp. infections. A review of the reports between January 1999 to December 2009 of 3,545 necropsied dogs was performed. Cardiac tissue blocks from 11 dogs were studied for the presence of eubacterial DNA and Bartonella spp. DNA by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and for Bartonella spp. DNA by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The prevalence of canine IE was 0.65%. The cardiac tissues from 2 of 11 dogs were positive for eubacteria DNA by FISH. None of the dogs was positive for Bartonella spp . by FISH or conventional PCR. The prevalence of canine IE was low in this population and Bartonella spp . DNA was not detected in any dog tested with these techniques.
Subduction Duration and Slab Dip

The dip angles of slabs are among the clearest characteristics of subduction zones, but the factors that control them remain obscure. Here, slab dip angles and subduction parameters, including subduction duration, the nature of the overriding plate, slab age, and convergence rate, are determined for 153 transects along subduction zones for the present day. We present a comprehensive tabulation of subduction duration based on isotopic ages of arc initiation and stratigraphic, structural, plate tectonic and seismic indicators of subduction initiation. We present two ages for subduction zones, a long‐term age and a reinitiation age. Using cross correlation and multivariate regression, we find that (1) subduction duration is the primary parameter controlling slab dips with slabs tending to have shallower dips at subduction zones that have been in existence longer; (2) the long‐term age of subduction duration better explains variation of shallow dip than reinitiation age; (3) overriding plate nature could influence shallow dip angle, where slabs below continents tend to have shallower dips; (4) slab age contributes to slab dip, with younger slabs having steeper shallow dips; and (5) the relations between slab dip and subduction parameters are depth dependent, where the ability of subduction duration and overriding plate nature to explain observed variation decreases with depth. The analysis emphasizes the importance of subduction history and the long‐term regional state of a subduction zone in determining slab dip and is consistent with mechanical models of subduction.
Reversal of multicentury tree growth improvements and loss of synchrony at mountain tree lines point to changes in key drivers

1. Altitudinal tree line ecotones (ATE) are among the most sensitive plant formations facing global warming as the altitudinal decrease in temperature is considered the driver controlling the upper elevation limit of tree lines world‐wide. In this study, we attempted to answer the following questions: (i) how have the conditions during the last 2–3 centuries affected ATE tree growth (physiology) and recruitment (demography)? and (ii) how strong is synchrony between these two processes at the ATEs?
The Appealability of the Social Work Profession in the United States: Possible Explanations

In many parts of the world, the social work profession has continued to become a magnet for students from various backgrounds. This field has attracted local and international students with prior expertise in other disciplines, including but not limited to, sociology, psychology, criminal justice, education, and law. This chapter, among other things, presents an overview of the social work profession in the United States, highlights the uniqueness of this discipline, and explains the rise in enrollment in the twenty-first century. It is hypothesized that the appealability of social work is associated with (a) a quest for social justice, (b) a pragmatic path toward direct practice, (c) a commitment for social services delivery, and (d) a passion for empowerment. Understanding the rationale behind the appealability of the profession is crucial for social work educators to meet the needs of their student body in a world deeply ravaged by contemporary social problems.
Protozoan Diseases in Farm Ruminants

Protozoa are ubiquitous throughout aqueous environments and the soil, and play an important role in their ecology. Protozoa occupy a range of trophic levels.They also play a vital role in controlling bacteria population and biomass. Farm animals are usually infected with several species of parasites and they are also confined to pasture or pens. Parasite eggs, larvae, and cysts are intense in soil. One of the most important aspect of animal protozoology is transmission to humans. These are called zoonosis. Some of zoonotic diseases are common and important to public health. This chapter is about of the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment and control of the pathogenic protozoa in farm ruminants.
The Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets for Prostate Cancer

Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is the second most common cause of cancer related deaths in men in the western world. Current curative therapies are directed to localised tumours; thus, extending effective but non-invasive treatments to combat both primary and secondary lesions remains a major challenge. A desirable criterion of any effective prostate cancer therapy is its ability to selectively utilise appropriate molecular targets. The identification of these targets represents the greatest challenge for prostate cancer therapy today. The aim of this project was to identify potential therapeutic targets at the level of mRNA and protein. Molecular targets were identified by examining the expression profiles of prostate cell lines using cDNA microarrays. Expression of the identified genes was verified on patient samples using real time RT-PCR. The gene claudin-4 was found to be significantly over-expressed in patient tumour samples compared with BPH samples. Claudin-4 is part of a large family of integral membrane proteins crucial for tight junction formation and function and is a receptor for the food-poisoning causative agent Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin (CPE). A large immunohistochemical study conducted within a range of prostate tissue conditions confirmed the localisation of claudin-4 to the cell membrane of epithelial cells between cell-to-cell contact sites. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical data revealed that claudin-4 expression was high in low-grade tumours, low in high-grade tumours and high in prostate cancer metastatic lesions. Functional studies revealed that the over-expression of claudin-4 in prostate cell lines was associated with a reduction in cell migration and independent colony formation. In addition, the cytotoxic effects of CPE on the prostate cell lines were claudin-4 specific and dose dependent. An additional aspect of this study was to investigate the efficacy of using RNA-encoded tumour antigens to induce a DC-mediated T-cell response as an immunotherapeutic approach. In establishing the RNA-based approach, a number of important steps in the process were examined including, optimisation of electroporation conditions, amount of RNA required for optimal stimulation, time from transfection to the presentation of peptides and T-cell activation, as well as the importance of maturation before or after electroporation. The optimised RNA-based transfection approach was examined on a tumour model using the prostate TAA, PSMA as functional read-out which proved to be unsuccessful due to the low-affinity of the PSMA-specific CTL clone generated. From this study, the expression pattern of claudin-4 within prostate tissue and functional data obtained indicated that claudin-4 may play an important role in tumour dissemination and that it may be a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer. Furthermore, investigation into the use of an immunotherapeutic strategy using RNAencoded antigens to induce a DC-mediated T-cell response has revealed promising results, however, it requires further investigation using a functional tumour model.
Relationships between histone phosphorylation and cell proliferation

From studies with various Peromyscus cell lines, correlations were made which led to the proposal that H2A phosphorylation is most active in constitutive heterochromatin. Recent studies on the two H2A variants found in these cells have revealed that the high level of H2A phosphorylation associated with heterochromatin is not the result of an increase in H2A phosphorylation rate or an increase in the number of phosphorylation sites, but rather, is due to an increase in the proportion of one of the H2A variants which is more highly phosphorylated than the other. If H2A phosphorylation is necessary for the constitutive heterochromatin state, it is reasonable that the cell would accomplish the generation of this structure by permanently installing a more highly phosphorylated H2A in the heterochromatin nucleosome rather than by trying to modulate the phosphorylation rate in such a condensed structure. The proposal that histone phosphorylation is involved with the condensed structures of chromatin is based primarily on correlations between histone phosphorylation measurements and cellular phenomena. One proof that this concept is correct ultimately rests in the ability to demonstrate these correlations in isolated chromosomes and chromatin fractions. This demonstration is presently limited by the excessive dephosphorylation of histones which occurs more » during the isolation of chromosomes and chromatin fractions. Thus, the demonstration of an effective inhibitor of histone dephosphorylation which is compatible with the isolation of nuclear structures and chromatin fractions having native morphologies is essential for future studies on the biological function of histone phosphorylation.
