A CROSS-SWITCHED SCS-BASED INVERTER FOR HIGH-GAIN APPLICATIONS

A Cross-Switched SCS-Based Inverter for High-Gain Applications

This article presents a novel multilevel inverter (MLI) based on a basic unit of switched capacitor structure(SCS).The proposed SCS produces a multi-step DC-boosted output voltage using a few devices.This basic SCS unit is then used to develop a cross-switched structure.A crossed-switch structure combines several basic units to develop a 3DS larger

Same Traits, Different Variance

Personality trait questionnaires are regularly used in individual differences research to examine personality scores between participants, although trait researchers tend to place little value on intra-individual variation in item ratings within a measured trait.The few studies that examine variability indices have not considered how they are relat

The relationship between relative age effects and sex, age categories and playing positions in Brazilian National Handball Teams

Abstract Aims: This study investigated the existence of Relative Age Effect (RAE) in the selection process of male and female athletes in the Brazilian national handball teams according to age categories (U-18, U-21, and senior) and playing position (wings, backs, pivots, and goalkeepers).Methods: In order to determine RAE, athletes were divided ba

Experimental and analytical study of bio-based epoxy composite materials for strengthening reinforced concrete structures

This paper presents a new approach to strengthen reinforced concrete structures using natural fiber composites.Natural fibers are often used in civil engineering for thermal or acoustic insulation, but rarely are they employed to strengthen SELENIUM 100MCG structures.Natural fiber composites are constituted of a matrix based on epoxy adhesive and a
