High Step-Up ZVT Converter Based on Active Switched Coupled Inductors by Yu Tang, Haisheng Tong, Raheel Afzal, Yingjun Guo

“…To meet the requirements of high voltage boosting and high efficiency, a novel high step-up zero voltage transition (ZVT) DC/DC converter based on active switched-inductor (ASL) is proposed. This converter combines ASL and coupled inductor structure, thus can reduce the voltage and current stress of power switch, and the active clamping technology provides zero voltage transition (ZVT) for all switches. …”

Chromatin remodeling (SWI/SNF) complexes, cancer, and response to immunotherapy by Razelle Kurzrock, Shumei Kato, Nithya Krishnamurthy, Scott Lippman

“…Chromatin regulation involves four subfamilies composed of ATP-dependent multifunctional protein complexes that remodel the way DNA is packaged. The SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex subfamily mediates nucleosome reorganization and hence activation/repression of critical genes. …”
