High-frequency viscoelastic measurements of fluids based on microcantilever sensing: New modeling and experimental issues
( Elsevier , 2013 , Article)In general, microrheology is carried out using active or passive particle-tracking techniques. In the present paper, a novel technique based on the out-of-plane bending vibrations of a microcantilever beam immersed into a ... -
High-gain DC-DC converters for high-power PV applications: Performance assessment
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)Conventional non-isolated DC-DC converters provide limited practical gains at high duty cycles due to their parasitic losses. Such trend is not suitable for renewables grid integration due to the high required gain, while ... -
High-Gain Non-isolated Single-Switch DC-DC Converters in Power Factor Correction Rectifiers: A Performance Assessment
( IEEE , 2022 , Conference Paper)Conventional single-stage Power Factor Correction (PFC) rectifiers struggle with extreme duty ratio operation for low-voltage applications, like Low-speed Electric Vehicles (LSEV). This worsens the performance of the ... -
High-intensity exercise training does not influence body weight but improves lipid oxidation in obese adults: A 6-week RCT
( BMJ Publishing Group , 2017 , Article)Objectives This study examined the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity training (HIT) on lipid oxidation (LO) rates during incremental exercises in obese adults. Methods Twenty-four obese adults were randomised into a ... -
High-intensity interval training improves acute plasma volume responses to exercise that is age dependent
( American Physiological Society , 2018 , Article)Plasma volume (PV) is affected by several factors including age, physical training and, acutely, by exercise intensity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training ... -
High-performance adaptive Perturb and observe MPPT technique for photovoltaic-based microgrids
( IEEE , 2011 , Article)Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has witnessed double-digit growth in the past decade. The penetration of PV systems as distributed generators in low-voltage grids has also seen significant attention. In addition, the need ... -
