Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonics Study and Comparison of Z-source Inverter with Traditional InvertersB. Justus Rabi, R. ArumugamThis paper presents an Impedance Source Inverter for A.C electrical drives. The impedance source inverter employs a unique impedance network cable with inverter main circuit and rectifier. By controlling the shoot-through duty cycle, the z-source inverter system using MOSFETS provide ride-through capability during voltage sags, reduces line harmonics, improves power factor and high reliability, and extends output voltage range. Analysis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Flow in Agriculture: BangladeshM. S. Alam, M. R. Alam, K. K. IslamIn this paper, a qualitative energy flow analysis in Bangladesh agriculture has been made for a period from 1980-81 to 2000-01 to evaluate the impact of energy input to produce output. Human and animal muscle power and machinery energy for tillage operation, electricity and diesel energy for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides energy for growth and protection are taken into account. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 11,592 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisplacement of Boron from the Silicon Crystal Nodes by Interstitial Si Atoms During Implantation and AnnealingM. Jadan, A. R. Chelyadinskii, V. Y. YavidThe process of boron displacement from the nodes into interstitial positions of interstitial Si atoms in silicon (Watkins effect) on the conditions of implantation and annealing has been investigated with the help of X-ray diffraction and electrical methods. It was revealed that the efficiency of the Watkins substitution is determined by the ion current density (level of ionization). With increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Speed Simulation Using WaveletsA. H. Siddiqi, S. Khan, S. RehmanMost of the renewable energy sources have direct or indirect link with the sun. Wind is also a form of solar energy. It is initiated by uneven heating of the atmospheric air by the sun, affected from the topography and surface roughness of the earth's surface and rotation of the earth. The earth's terrain, water surfaces and vegetation cover modifies … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
