Analysis a DSP Implementation and Experimental Validation of a Loss Minimization Algorithm Applied to Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives

2004

In this paper a new loss minimization control algorithm for inverter-fed permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), which allows to reduce the power losses of the electric drive without penalty on its dynamic performances, is analyzed, experimentally realized and validated. In particular, after a brief recall of two loss minimization control strategies (the "search control" and the "loss-model control"), both a modified dynamic model of the PMSM, which takes into account the iron losses, and a "loss-model" control strategy, are treated. Experimental tests on a specific PMSM drive employing the proposed loss minimization algorithm were performed aiming to validate the actual implementation.…

Graph cut-based method for segmenting the left ventricle from MRI or echocardiographic images

2017

International audience; In this paper, we present a fast and interactive graph cut method for 3D segmentation of the endocardial wall of the left ventricle (LV) adapted to work on two of the most widely used modalities: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography. Our method accounts for the fundamentally different nature of both modalities: 3D echocardiographic images have a low contrast, a poor signal-to-noise ratio and frequent signal drop, while MR images are more detailed but also cluttered and contain highly anisotropic voxels. The main characteristic of our method is to work in a 3D Bezier coordinate system instead of the original Euclidean space. This comes with several ad…

Simulated annealing with restrained molecular dynamics using a flexible restraint potential: Theory and evaluation with simulated NMR constraints

1996

A new functional representation of NMR-derived distance constraints, the flexible restraint potential, has been implemented in the program CONGEN (Bruccoleri RE, Karplus M, 1987, Biopolymers 26:137-168) for molecular structure generation. In addition, flat-bottomed restraint potentials for representing dihedral angle and vicinal scalar coupling constraints have been introduced into CONGEN. An effective simulated annealing (SA) protocol that combines both weight annealing and temperature annealing is described. Calculations have been performed using ideal simulated NMR constraints, in order to evaluate the use of restrained molecular dynamics (MD) with these target functions as implemented i…

Ab initiosimulations on rutile-based titania nanowires

2012

The rod symmetry groups for monoperiodic (1D) nanostructures have been applied for construction of models for bulk-like TiO2 nanowires (NWs) cut from a rutile-based 3D crystal along the chosen [001] and [110] directions of crystallographic axes. In this study, we have considered nanowires described by both the Ti-atom centered rotation axes as well as the hollow site centered axes passing through the interstitial positions between the Ti and O atoms closest to the axes. The most stable [001]-oriented TiO2 NWs with rhombic cross sections are found to display the energetically preferable {110} facets only while the nanowires with quasi-square sections across the [110] axis are formed by the a…

[MoO2(SCPh2CO2)2]2− and [MoO(SCPh2CO2)2]− anion complexes. A theoretical structure characterization

1995

Abstract Geometry optimization of [MoO 2 (SCH 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCH 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − systems as models of [MoO 2 (SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − anion complexes have been carried out at STO-3G, 3-21G, LANL1MB and LANL2DZ basis set levels. A comparison of the theoretical results and X-ray experimental data has been performed. STO-3G minimal basis set produces the best geometrical agreement, in particular the distances and orientations of the different ligands linked to molybdenum transition metal. A large structural overlap with STO-3G optimized geometry and X-ray data has been found for the [MoO 2 (SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] 2− and [MoO(SCPh 2 CO 2 ) 2 ] − anion complexes.

Phytotoponymy and Synphytotoponymy in Western Granada Province (Andalusia, Spain)

2009

En el marco de la investigación etnobotánica desarrollada en el poniente granadino, se ha realizado un estudio sobre la toponimia de la comarca con atención a los apelativos de origen vegetal (fitotopónimos y sinfitotopónimos). La información —obtenida de la Gerencia Territorial del Catastro de Granada, de la Junta de Andalucía y de nuestro trabajo de campo— se ha incluido en una base de datos con el programa Microsoft Excell®. Un total de 98 especies vegetales se encuentran representadas en la toponimia local, dando nombre a 593 lugares del territorio. Se aportan comentarios sobre el significado ecológico, paleofitogeográfico y etnobotánico de las especies reflejadas en la toponimia.

Processing of O6-methylguanine into DNA double-strand breaks requires two rounds of replication whereas apoptosis is also induced in subsequent cell …

2009

The DNA adduct O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)MeG) induced by environmental genotoxins and anticancer drugs is a highly mutagenic, genotoxic and apoptotic lesion. Apoptosis induced by O(6)MeG requires mismatch repair (MMR) and proliferation. Models of O(6)MeG-triggered cell death postulate that O(6)MeG/T mispairs activate MMR giving rise to either direct genotoxic signaling or secondary lesions that trigger apoptotic signaling in the 2(nd) replication cycle. To test these hypotheses, we used a highly synchronized cell system competent and deficient for the repair of O(6)MeG adducts, which were induced by the S(N)1 methylating agent N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). We show that DNA doub…

La respuesta del sistema de Naciones Unidas ante la situación de crisis prolongada en Haití

2016

Haití se ha erigido en un factor de inestabilidad regional que ha derivado en su consideración por parte del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas como una amenaza a la paz y a la seguridad internacionales a lo largo de los últimos 25 años. Este artículo pretende analizar la importancia de la actuación internacional llevada a cabo en Haití, así como si la respuesta del sistema de las Naciones Unidas ante las crisis haitianas ha garantizado unas condiciones de paz y estabilidad que han servido de base para importantes avances en otros ámbitos. Haiti has emerged as a factor of regional instability that led to its consideration by the United Nations Security Council as a threat to peace …

DevOps-kehittäjän osaamisprofiili IT-alalla

2015

Kandidaatintutkielmassa käsitellään DevOpsia ja sitä, minkälaista osaaamista DevOpsina toimivalta vaaditaan. DevOps on IT-alalla uusi työtehtävä, jossa sama työntekijä hoitaa sekä kehittämiseen että operointiin liittyvät tehtävät. DevOpsin avulla kommunikaatio työntekijöiden välillä paranee ja kaikki työskentelevät paremmin samaa tavoitetta kohti. Tämän uudenalaisen järjestelyn avulla pystytään muun muassa tuottamaan järjestelmiä nopeammin ja parempilaatuisena. Osaamisella taas viitataan yksilön kykyihin suoriutua hänelle annetuista tehtävistä. Tutkielman lopussa kirjallisuuden perusteella tehtyä määritelmää DevOpsilta vaadittavasta osaamisesta verrataan työpaikkailmoituksissa haettaviin om…
