Modelling Upholstered Furniture Frames Using the Finite Element Method by Łukasz Matwiej, Krzysztof Wiaderek, Witold Jarecki, Dariusz Orlikowski, Marek Wieruszewski

“…This study employs the finite element method to propose a model-based design strategy for upholstered furniture frames. Three-dimensional discrete models of these frames were created, considering the orthotropic characteristics of pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) and spruce (<i>Picea abies</i> L.) wood, reinforced structurally with glue joints and upholstery staples. …”

Bidirectional Quadratic Converter-Based PMBLDC Motor Drive for LEV Application by Mukesh Kumar, Kalpana Chaudhary, R. K. Saket, Baseem Khan

“…The braking technique used in this work eliminates the traditional drawback of RB in buck mode, as the power is extracted even when the motor’s back EMF is lower than the battery’s voltage. The control strategy has been implemented using the TMS320F28335 DSP controller for a developed converter prototype of the converter and driving the PMBLDC motor. …”

Role of the Synthetic B1 Vitamin Sulbutiamine on Health by Bernardo Starling-Soares, Pedro Carrera-Bastos, Lucien Bettendorff

“…For instance, there is some evidence that sulbutiamine can have anti-fatigue, nootropic, and antioxidant effects, which led to its use as a sport supplement (although some authors argue it is actually a masking doping strategy). Moreover, this molecule has been proposed as a possible treatment for some microsporidial infections and even for certain types of cancer. …”
