A Hybrid Control Strategy for Quadratic Boost Converters with Inductor Currents Estimation

2020

International audience; This paper deals with a control strategy for a DC-DC quadratic boost converter. In particular, a hybrid control scheme is proposed to encompass a control law and an observer for the estimation of the system states, based only on the measurements of the input and output voltages. Differently from classical control methods, where the controller is designed from a small-signal model, here the real model of the system is examined without considering the average values of the discrete variables. Using hybrid dynamical system theory, asymptotic stability of a neighborhood of the equilibrium point is established, ensuring practical stability of the origin, which contains es…

A numerical model for pre-monitoring design of historical colonnade courtyards: The case study of chiaramonte palace in palermo

2016

This paper proposes a numerical model that can be used for theoretical and experimental dynamic characterization of historical colonnade courtyards. Such an architectural element appears often in buildings of historical heritage and, especially under seismic excitation, it represents the most vulnerable structural part. Therefore, it is very important to have reliable as well as simple models available for vulnerability analysis, to evaluate different reinforcing systems if needed, or to plan dynamic characterization tests or monitoring campaigns, as in the present case. Chiaramonte Palace, a wonderful example of the historical heritage of Palermo, is investigated as case study. Firstly, a …

Intérêt d’outils digitaux dans le maintien d’un parcours de soins obésité dans le contexte épidémique Covid-19. Retour de l’expérimentation article 5…

2021

L’épidémie de Covid-19, au-delà de mettre en évidence l’obésité comme facteur pronostique important, modifie grandement la prise en charge de cette maladie chronique. L’expérimentation article 51 Espace médical nutrition et obésité (EMNO) a dû intégrer des outils numériques pour maintenir les parcours de soins. Cette démarche a également été enrichie par l’apport d’un outil d’éducation thérapeutique digital. L’ensemble du processus de prise en charge a ainsi été réalisé malgré la situation, avec un retour très positif des patients inclus dans l’expérimentation. En contexte épidémique, le maintien des parcours de soins d’une maladie chronique comme l’obésité peut ainsi être assuré avec l’app…

The Covid-19 pandemic has introduced challenges throughout the world and is endangering people’s prosperity. To these health, economic, political, and social challenges have been added those related to the management and dissemination of information, mainly concerning its exponential growth, veracity, and dissemination. Providing objective evidence-based information contributes to meeting these challenges. Social media and social networks are playing a key role in informing society about the evolution of the pandemic and progress towards its eradication. However, social networks are also a vehicle for the transmission of biased or false news that can endanger people’s health. Information pr…
