A new time domain modeling method for DC-DC switching power converters is introduced: conversion function theory of DC converters. This method is based on the concept of “wanted variables” at the input and output terminals of the converter, while ignoring the secondary “unwanted” effects, such as harmonics and ripples produced by the converter. The...

This research paper presents a novel maximum power point taking (MPPT) algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive calculation block to estimate the solar irradiance and the PV I–V curve circuit parameters based on the PV panel’s measured output current and voltage. In the proposed algorithm, the output power does not oscillate around the maximum pow...

An increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) are replacing gasoline vehicles in the automobile market due to the economic and environmental benefits. The high penetration of EVs is one of the main challenges in the future smart grid. As a result of EV charging, an excessive overloading is expected in different elements of the power system, espec...

Background Biomarker detection presents itself as a major means of translating biological data into clinical applications. Due to the recent advances in high throughput sequencing technologies, an increased number of metagenomics studies have suggested the dysbiosis in microbial communities as potential biomarker for certain diseases. The reproduci...

Background Recent developments of high throughput sequencing technologies allow the characterization of the microbial communities inhabiting our world. Various metagenomic studies have suggested using microbial taxa as potential biomarkers for certain diseases. In practice, the number of available samples varies from experiment to experiment. There...

This paper presents a method to evaluate the impact of process and environmental variations on the overall performance of biologically inspired spiking neural networks, implemented predominantly ind digital CMOS. In this method, transistor-level and behavioral level analysis are carried out. Then, the results of the transistor-level simulation are...
