FPGA-based direct repetitive control for high performance ground power units

This paper deals with a newly conceived control topology based on the Repetitive action in 4-leg VSI for stand-alone Ground Power Unit (GPU) applications. In such mode of operation, a dedicated controller has to regulate the inverter output voltages, which are measured at the output of the power filter. The proposed Repetitive Control can provide the required harmonic compensation capabilities that are mandatory to comply with the Standards especially in the aircraft field, when balanced and unbalanced, linear and non-linear loads have to be fed at the fundamental frequency of 400Hz.
Caractérisation et Modélisation Intentionnelles des Organisations Virtuelles

RESUME . Pour repondre a un marche de plus en plus concurrentiel, les organisations tendent aujourd'hui a se regrouper sous la forme d'organisations virtuelles. Concevoir le systeme d'information (SI) d'une organisation virtuelle sur la base des SI des organisations participantes represente un enjeu important, le SI de l'organisation virtuelle jouant un role preponderant pour la collaboration et la cooperation des organisations participantes et l'atteinte de l'objectif commun. Nous proposons des criteres permettant d'identifier et de classifier precisement et a un niveau intentionnel, les differentes informations necessaires a la conception du SI de l'organisation virtuelle. L'instanciation de ces criteres pour une organisation virtuelle et ses organisations participantes, permettra alors de generer dans un outil de modelisation, des modeles graphiques simples qui serviront de base pour la conception du SI aux niveaux organisationnels et operationnels. L'approche est illustree par l'exemple de l'organisation virtuelle UGRT (Union Regionale des Eleveurs de Tabasco, Mexique).
The Non-omission of Nonfinite Be

It has long been known that children learning English optionally omit finite forms of the verb be (both copula and auxiliary). What makes be omissions possible? A classic answer is that be is semantically empty, hence a good choice to omit under performance-related pressures. What would this hypothesis lead us to expect about the infinitive form of be? In terms of semantic vacuity, nonfinite be is an even better choice for omission than finite be , since it does not carry tense or agreement information—most such deletions would be completely recoverable. Thus, the semantic vacuity hypothesis would lead us to expect omission of nonfinite be to be at least as frequent as omission of finite be . This is contrasted with the suggestion that be omission be incorporated into the Root/Optional Infinitive phenomenon. The latter finiteness hypothesis makes different predictions from the semantic vacuity hypothesis with respect to the relative rate of nonfinite be omission. The finding is that, in each relevant transcript, omission of finite be is attested, use of nonfinite be is attested, but there are no instances of omission of nonfinite be , contra the prediction of the semantic vacuity hypothesis. I develop an analysis within the Agreement/Tense Omission Model of the underspecification of Infl (cf. Schütze 1997). I claim that finite forms of be in (adult and child) English are fused V+I heads, in the sense of Halle & Marantz’s (1993) Distributed Morphology. Their locus for vocabulary insertion has values for person/number, tense, and lexical category. The fused vocabulary items cannot be inserted in a syntactic structure in which INFL features have been underspecified. Overt be arises only when both AgrS and Tense are fully specified. Null be , i.e. Ø, the default member of the paradigm, arises from underspecification of Tense and/or underspecification of AgrS.
On the reproducibility of the average gray-level for noninvasive temperature estimation in the hyperthermia range

The thermal treatment of deep-sited tissues requires temperature feedback by minimally invasive or even by completely noninvasive methods. Ultrasound has been pointed as a viable technology for noninvasive temperature assessment. More precisely, parameters from B-Mode images were pointed to vary monotonically with temperature and able to estimate temperature with appropriate resolution. In this paper, a bovine muscle sample is subjected to several heating and cooling periods in order to analyze how the average gray-level from B-Mode images is reproducible with temperature. This is an important aspect concerning the real-time application on a clinical setting. Results point that for formaldehyde fixed tissue the average gray-level was reproducible with temperature. In non-fixed (unstable) media reproducibility was achieved by considering relative (temperature and average gray-level) changes to the starting of a particular heating/cooling phase.
Carbon Nanotubes for Energy Applications

The energy crisis during the 1970s sparked the development of renewable energy sources and energy conservation measures. As supply eventually met demand, these programs were scaled back. Ten years later, the hazards of pollution led to work on minimisation and reversal of the environmental impact of fossil fuel extraction, transport and consumption [1]. The United States Department of Energy predicts that 20 years from now, the world’s energy consumption will increase by 20% (Figure 1). The growing concerns over the con‐ stant use of fossil fuels and its effect on climate change [2], has once again spurred re‐ search on sustainable energy development and on enhancement in renewable energy systems. Advances in energy storage and conversion systems that will make our energy usage more efficient are essential if we are to meet the challenge of global warming and the finite nature of fossil fuels [2, 3].
KIEM: A Knowledge Graph based Method to Identify Entity Morphs

An entity on the web can be referred by numerous morphs that are always ambiguous, implicit and informal, which makes it challenging to accurately identify all the morphs corresponding to a specific entity. In this paper, we introduce a novel method based on knowledge graph, which takes advantage of both knowledge reasoning and statistic learning. First, we present a model to build a knowledge graph for the given entity. The knowledge graph integrates the fragmented knowledge on how humans create morphs. Then, the candidate morphs are generated based on the rules summarized from the knowledge graph. At last, we use a classification method to filter the useless candidates and identify the target morphs. The experiments conducted on real world dataset demonstrate efficiency of our proposed method in terms of precision and recall.
Consumption, exchange and production at the Great Settlement Shang: bone-working at Tiesanlu, Anyang

Excavations at the Shang capital of Anyang have uncovered a massive bone-working industry. The animal bones, mainly those of cattle, pig and deer were provided as a spin-off from regular large-scale sacrifice, and made mainly into pins, awls and arrowheads. Although some of the pins were destined for the tombs of prominent women, a penetrating analysis shows that production greatly overran local consumption and the authors are able to raise the likelihood of a wide market for traded objects in addition to the more expected control of production by the elite.

Successful efavirenz dose reduction in HIV type 1-infected individuals with cytochrome P450 2B6 *6 and *26.

BACKGROUND Efavirenz (EFV) is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6), and high plasma concentrations of the drug are associated with a G-->T polymorphism at position 516 (516G-->T) of CYP2B6 and frequent central nervous system (CNS)-related side effects. Here, we tested the feasibility of genotype-based dose reduction of EFV. METHODS CYP2B6 genotypes were determined in 456 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients who were receiving EFV treatment or were scheduled to receive EFV-containing treatment. EFV dose was reduced in CYP2B6 516G-->T carriers who had high plasma EFV concentrations while receiving the standard dosage (600 mg). EFV-naive homozygous CYP2B6 516G-->T carriers were treated with low-dose EFV. In both groups, the dose was further reduced when plasma EFV concentration remained high. RESULTS CYP2B6 516G-->T was identified in the *6 allele (found in 17.9% of our subjects) and a novel allele, *26 (found in 1.3% of our patients). All EFV-treated CYP2B6 *6/*6 and *6/*26 carriers had extremely high plasma EFV concentrations (>6000 ng/mL) while receiving the standard dosage. EFV dose was reduced to 400 mg for 11 patients and to 200 mg for 7 patients with persistently suppressed HIV-1 loads. EFV-containing treatment was initiated at 400 mg in 4 CYP2B6 *6/*6 carriers and one *6/*26 carrier. Two of them still had a high plasma EFV concentration while receiving that dose, and the dose was further reduced to 200 mg, with successful HIV-1 suppression. CNS-related symptoms improved with dose reduction in 10 of the 14 patients, although some had not been aware of the symptoms at initial dosage. CONCLUSIONS Genotype-based EFV dose reduction is feasible in CYP2B6 *6/*6 and *6/*26 carriers, which can reduce EFV-associated CNS symptoms.
Conferral of Enhanced Natural Killer Cell Function by KIR3DS1 in Early Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection

ABSTRACT A flurry of recent reports on the role of activating and inhibitory forms of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) in natural killer (NK) cell activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) have yielded widely divergent results. The role of the activating NK receptor encoded by the KIR3DS1 allele and its putative ligands, members of the HLA class I Bw4Ile80 cluster, in early HIV-1 disease is controversial. We selected 60 treatment-naïve adults for study from the OPTIONS cohort of individuals with early HIV-1 infection in San Francisco. We performed NK cell functional assays measuring gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and CD107a expression by NK cells in the unstimulated state and after stimulation by the major histocompatibility complex class I-deficient 721.221 B-lymphoblastoid cell line. In addition, we measured CD38 expression (a T-cell activation marker) on T and NK cells. Persons who have at least one copy of the KIR3DS1 gene had higher IFN-γ and CD107a expression in the unstimulated state compared to those who do not possess this gene. After stimulation, both groups experienced a large induction of IFN-γ and CD107a, with KIR3DS1 carriers achieving a greater amount of IFN-γ expression. Differences in effector activity correlating with KIR3DS1 were not attributable to joint carriage of HLA Bw4Ile80 and KIR3DS1. We detected a partial but not complete dependence of KIR3DS1 on the members of B*58 supertype (B*57 and B*58) leading to higher NK cell function. Possessing KIR3DS1 was associated with lower expression of CD38 on both CD8+ T and NK cells and with a loss or weakening of the known strong associations between CD8+ T-cell expression of CD38 mean fluorescence intensity and the HIV-1 viral load. We observed that possessing KIR3DS1 was associated with higher NK cell effector functions in early HIV-1 disease, despite the absence of HLA Bw4Ile80, a putative ligand of KIR3DS1. Carriage of KIR3DS1 was associated with diminished CD8+ T-cell activation, as determined by expression of CD38, and a disruption of the traditional relationship between viral load and activation in HIV-1 disease, which may lead to better clinical outcomes for these individuals.
Bichromatically pumped nonlinear fiber ring cavity

Kerr frequency combs in passive resonators have attracted considerable interest during the last decade as a complementary approach to comb formation based on mode-locked lasers. Most of previous works have focused on monochromatic CW-pumping either with or without parametric seeding [1-3]. Here, we report on an extensive study of a dual pumping configuration in a passive nonlinear fiber ring cavity. Depending on the input conditions, we observed a rich variety of nonlinear dynamics leading to different comb states.
Mammography: review of the controversy, health disparities, and impact on young african american women.

BACKGROUND Ongoing debate about mammography screening for women in their 40s has brought awareness to the opportunities and challenges for achieving optimal breast health in young African American women and in battling health inequities that place them at greater risk for mortality from breast cancer. Despite the screening controversy, a need exists to understand the complex issues related to mammography knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of young minority women, while empowering them to take an active role in their breast health care. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to describe the complicated issues related to screening in young African American women within the context of the uncertainty about the evidence surrounding screening practices. METHODS Literature was reviewed to garner a comprehensive update of the mammography screening controversy and its impact on mammography practices. FINDINGS Nurses should be aware of the mammography screening controversy and breast cancer risk assessment and how they affect young women's participation in mammography screening. Mammography screening should be a shared decision between the patient and healthcare provider. A better understanding of breast health and its effect on young minority women is needed. Nurses have a prominent role to advocate for, empower, and educate patients as they face the task of deciding whether to begin or continue mammography in their 40s.
CAMBIOS REOLÓGICOS EN UNA MASA PANARIA POR LA ADICIÓN DE AVENA

The healthful product availability is the priority of all industrialists, due to the close relation that exists between health and foodsThe American Association of the Cancer, esteem that 70% of the cases of cancer must to the bad feeding. In addition the main diseases that cause the majority of the deaths in the world are the cardiovascular, the cancer and the diabetes. Other of the problems of the Mexicans is the obesity and the increment of the population over 65 years. As consequence the producers of the micro and medium industry of the bakery seek the healthful development of products called functional, that they help to prevent or minimize the effects of the illnesses. For it is necessary to adjust you formulate them of elaboration of the masses panarias, with adequate concentrations of grease, sugar, prebiotics, probiotics, antioxidants and ingredients that increase the quality nutritional and organoleptic of the bread. In this work the effect was analyzed that has the oat flour addition in the rheological of the masses of bread, to elaborate bread biscuit. Based on the statistical analysis can be affirmed that it is viable to utilize wheat-oat flours mixtures of 94-6% respectively, without the variations in the parameters of strength tenacity and extensibility affect in a notorious way the organolepticscharacteristic of the product. Quantities over 6% are not recommendable for masses biscuit, due to that affect the properties viscoelásticas of the mass.
Um estudo da cadeia de valores com a utilização da análise fatorial

The objective of this study was to evaluate the importance that companies give to all variables that create value chains as contributors to the competitive advantage of the companies and its relation with supply chain management. In this way a field research was made along with main executives of companies that direct or indirectly interact with aspects related to these variables. These were defined as the ones which create Porter's value scale (1985). Data were obtained from a sample of convenience formed by 100 companies, reaching 62% feed-back. The statistic analysis was developed based on descriptive statistical and multivariate data analysis, specifically factor analysis technique. The results show that there was a movement of variables grouped accordingly Porter (1985), as part of primary activities towards support tasks. Besides, two factor or component principals were identifies, named strategic management and logistics and operations, which lead to the supposition that supply chain has a significant importance in this process. However, technology development and acquisition have contributed less then the other variables.
EED and KDM6B Coordinate the First Mammalian Cell Lineage Commitment To Ensure Embryo Implantation

ABSTRACT The first mammalian cell lineage commitment is the formation of the trophectoderm (TE) and the inner cell mass (ICM) lineages during preimplantation development. Proper development of the TE and ICM lineages is dependent upon establishment of specific transcriptional programs. However, the epigenetic mechanisms that functionally contribute to establish TE- and ICM-specific transcriptional programs are poorly understood. Here, we show that proper development of the TE and ICM lineages is coordinated via combinatorial regulation of embryonic ectoderm development (EED) and lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B). During blastocyst formation, the relative levels of EED and KDM6B expression determine altered polycomb repressor 2 (PRC2) complex recruitment and incorporation of the repressive histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27Me3) mark at the chromatin domains of TE-specific master regulators CDX2 and GATA3, leading to their activation in the TE lineage and repression in the ICM lineage. Furthermore, ectopic gain of EED along with depletion of KDM6B in preimplantation mouse embryos abrogates CDX2 and GATA3 expression in the nascent TE lineage. The loss of CDX2 and GATA3 in the nascent TE lineage results in improper TE development, leading to failure in embryo implantation to the uterus. Our study delineates a novel epigenetic mechanism that orchestrates proper development of the first mammalian cell lineages.
Link-Adaptable Vector-Perturbation ZFBF Precoder for Multi-Point 3 D -

A link adaptation scheme is devised for vectorperturbation (VP) zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) MIMO precoding and a link-adaptable VP-ZFBF precoder is applied to multi-point threedimensional (3D) beamformers to be used in mmWave-band wireless access systems. Channel coding schemes used in current systems, e.g., turbo codes, possess systematic code structures. The VP gain can thus be predicted by searching for perturbation vectors for the symbol vectors mapped from information bits. On the basis of this principle, we constructed an efficient iterative modulation-and-coding-set (MCS) selection procedure for VP-ZFBF precoding. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme suitably passed on the VP gain to the selection of an appropriate higher-rate MCS index and thus achieved high throughputs by incorporating with multi-point 3D-beamformers. key words: antenna array, beamforming, link adaptation, MIMO, precoding, vector perturbation, zero-forcing beamforming

Introducing Energy and Area Estimation in HW/SW Design Flow Based on Transaction Level Modeling

Transaction level modeling (TLM) facilitates the system designer in decision making at early phases of electronic product development. Executable specifications obtained from TLM models are used for the exploration of various architectural parameters and configurations possible for a system. However, traditional design flows based on TLM don't take into account the area and energy consumption of the system which are inevitably the most important constraints in modern embedded system designs. Traditionally, area and energy estimation is incorporated in system design at RTL (Register Transfer Level) which comes later in system design cycles and most of the crucial design decisions for the system has already been taken at that stage. In this paper, we propose a methodology to incorporate area and energy estimation in TLM based system modeling. This methodology allows a system designer take system level design decisions in very early stages of system design hence avoiding redesign efforts and performance bottlenecks in advanced stages of a project. Results obtained by applying our methodology on an image processing application show the robustness of our approach.
The epidemiology of multiple Plasmodium falciparum infections. 3. Genetic structure and dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum infections in the Kilombero region of Tanzania

Plasmodium falciparum parasites exist as genetically distinct haploid clones in infected people. In the Kilombero valley in south-east Tanzania, at least 85% of the inhabitants of Michenga village harbour more than one clone. Using 2 highly polymorphic unlinked markers, it has been estimated that each infected person harbours between one and 6 P.falciparum clones at any one time, with a mean of 3.5 clones. When mosquitoes acquire gametocytes of 2 different clones in a blood meal, crossing generates recombinant clones differing from their parental genotypes. The inbreeding coefficient of the parasite population has been estimated as 0.33.
CMOS dynamic comparators for pipeline A/D converters

Three different CMOS dynamic comparator topologies for pipeline A/D converters, resistive divider, differential pair, and charge distribution comparators, are analyzed. The topologies considered are fully differential, i.e. both sensing and reference voltage inputs are balanced, consist only of a single stage, and feature zero DC power dissipation with a built-in threshold adjusting input stage. Test structures of the comparators, fabricated in 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process, are measured to determine the offset properties of the compared topologies.
