Comparison of boost and LLC converter and active clamp isolated full-bridge boost converter for photovoltaic DC system

DC Coffee Table collection network offers an attractive alternative to AC network for photovoltaic, as it avoids the charging current issues and reduces the size and weight.Variable voltage gain DC/DC converters play an important role in DC collection network.Two topologies suitable for photovoltaic DC collection are studied.Boost and LLC converter

Exploring the insulin secretory properties of the PGD2-GPR44/DP2 axis in vitro and in a randomized phase-1 trial of type 2 diabetes patients.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS:GPR44 (DP2, PTGDR2, CRTh2) is the receptor for the pro-inflammatory mediator prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) and it is enriched in human islets.In rodent islets, PGD2 is produced in response to glucose, suggesting that the PGD2-GPR44/DP2 axis may play a role in human islet function during hyperglycemia.Consequently, the aim of this work was

Climate evolution in the last five centuries simulated by an atmosphere-ocean model: global temperatures, the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Late Maunder Minimum

The main results of a transient climate simulation of the last 500 years with a coupled atmosphere-ocean model driven by estimated solar variability, volcanic activity and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are presented and compared with several empirical climate reconstructions.Along the last five centuries the climate model simulates
