Low-voltage DC input, high-voltage pulse generator using nano-crystalline transformer and sequentially charged MMC sub-modules, for water treatment applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a new high-voltage Pulse Generator (PG), fed from low voltage dc supply Vs. This input supply voltage is utilized to charge two arms of series-connected modular multilevel converter sub-module capacitors ...
Future perspectives on nonmedical prescribing
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
Many countries have implemented nonmedical prescribing (NMP) and many others are scoping prescribing practices with a view to developing NMP. This paper provides a future perspective on NMP in light of findings of an ...

25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations and Clostridium difficile Infection: A Meta-Analysis
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Background: Well-known risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are exposure to antibiotics and gastric acid suppressants. Recent studies have provided some evidence of an association between hypovitaminosis ...
Network association with dynamic pricing over D2D-enabled heterogeneous networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The growing trend of networks densification has motivated integrating the Device-to-Device (D2D) communication with the dense heterogeneous networks in order to face the intense demand of high data rates and enhance network ...
Towards novel Cry toxins with enhanced toxicity/broader: a new chimeric Cry4Ba / Cry1Ac toxin
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Attempts have been made to express or to merge different Cry proteins in order to enhance toxic effects against various insects. Cry1A proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis form a typical bipyramidal parasporal crystal and ...
3D dynamic displacement-field measurement for structural health monitoring using inexpensive RGB-D based sensor
