This paper presents a new energy-efficient space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for controlling the switches of a New three-phase inverter (NTPI) for photovoltaic (PV) applications to reduce switching losses, the peak value, and the of the common mode voltage (CMV) with fewer number of switches. The proposed system offers a reliable operation in PV energy system with less leakage current and increased efficiency because of the reduction of the CMV, the source of leakage current in PV inverter-based application. Moreover, this also optimizes the operation of electric vehicle application with lower bearing failure.

Introduction: It is common for the liver to be supplied blood by a hepatic artery branching off the coeliac trunk. Occasionally, a replaced common hepatic artery (RCHA), emerges from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), can supply the liver in 1.5-4.

The increasing integration of intermittent renewable sources (RSs) poses a dynamic frequency stability challenge for modern marine vessel microgrids. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel control approach, specifically targeting frequency and tie-line power stabilization in a diverse source marine microgrid (MμG) with two intertied areas featuring renewable (wind-wave) sources. The suggested approach introduces a modified tilt-integral active disturbance rejection (TI-ADRC) controller designed to ensure effective damping of power frequency oscillations.

Today, the limited sources of freshwater supply are a significant concern. Exploiting alternative sources, especially seawater, has been the focus, but purifying it is energy-intensive. Integrating desalination with renewable energy is a proposed solution, but it comes with high costs and environmental risks during construction.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains a lethal disease with a dismal overall survival rate of 6% despite promising responses to upfront combination chemotherapy. The key drivers of such rapid mortality include early metastatic dissemination in the natural course of the disease and the near guaranteed emergence of chemoresistant disease. Here, we found that we could model the regression and relapse seen in clinical SCLC in vitro.
