This work aims to investigate on a meta-theoretical level the conceptual framework of rhetoric. Two spheres can be distinguished: the argumentative or persuasive rhetoric and the non-argumentative or non-persuasive rhetoric. ...

This paper offers an overview of complex equalizers, which combine the structure of a linear transversal filter (LTE) with a neural network. There are presented nonlinear channel and nonlinear device models. There are ...

When teaching effective vocabulary, there are some steps to be taken in consideration. Talking about ways of acquiring knowledge, information can be stored in two ways: linguistic and nonlinguistic. Nonlinguistic ...

This paper illustrates a new fractional tap length (FT) algorithm that improves the performance of the normalized least mean squared (NLMS) algorithms. The proposed algorithm, named NLMS-FT, is compared with an adaptive ...

This essay introduces and analyzes the dissolved gases in the insulating oil of power transformers. Analysis of soluble and free gas is one of the most commonly used troubleshooting methods for detecting and evaluating ...

For Electrifying areas where the availability of grid is nowhere, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) based stand-alone has been developed. Implication of appropriate storage scheme is done for assurance of uninterruptable supply. The ...

In this article novel fast sweeping method is proposed as MPPT for PV fed water pumping system. Solar photovoltaic (PV) array which is exposed to the uniform solar irradiance shows the non-linear P-V characteristic. ...

Power quality is one of major concern in modern era and has become important with the introduction of very advanced devices, whose performance is very sensitive to the quality of powe r supply. Power quality problem ...

The static and dynamic characteristics of buck converters are well known for a long time. An easy approximation results in a first order transfer function in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Based on the description ...

In recent years, solar energy is effectively utilized as an alternate energy source for generating electricity. Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) is applied to the photovoltaic (PV) system to extract maximum power ...
