Resistant Hypertension in Nondialysis Chronic Kidney Disease by Silvio Borrelli, Luca De Nicola, Giovanna Stanzione, Giuseppe Conte, Roberto Minutolo

“…Resistant hypertension (RH) is defined as blood pressure (BP) that remains above the target of less than 140/90 mmHg in the general population and 130/80 mmHg in people with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in spite of the use of at least three full-dose antihypertensive drugs including a diuretic or as BP that reaches the target by means of four or more drugs. In CKD, RH is a common condition due to a combination of factors including sodium retention, increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system, and enhanced activity of the sympathetic nervous system. …”

Power decoupling method for synchronous reference frame-based vector control by Zhen Gong, Xiaorong Xie, Chengxi Liu, Filipe Faria da Silva, Yonghao Gui

“…This short communication analyzes the power coupling mechanism of synchronous reference frame-based vector control (SRF-VC) of voltage source inverter (VSI), which is caused by the variation of voltage angle difference (VVAD) between voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) and grid voltage. Then, a power closed loop transfer function model is proposed to study the power coupling characteristics. …”
