A Simplified Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control for T-Type Three-Level Power Conversion System Based on LCL Filter by Ning Gao, Huaiyu Fan, Weimin Wu

“…However, there are several challenges when employing FCSMPC in an LCL filter-based T-type three-level power conversion system (PCS) for battery energy storage applications. These challenges mainly include the increasing complexity of control algorithm and excessive cost of additional sensors, which deteriorate the performance of PCS and limit the application of FCSMPC. …”

A Compact Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna for LTE Mobile Handset Applications by Munyong Choi, Hyunho Wi, Byeonggwi Mun, Yonghyun Yoon, Hyunwoo Lee, Byungje Lee

“…A compact (8 × 62 × 5 mm3; 2.48 cc) frequency reconfigurable antenna that uses electrical switching with PIN diodes is proposed for the low frequency LTE band (699 MHz–862 MHz), high frequency LTE band (2496 MHz–2690 MHz), GSM850/900 bands (824 MHz–960 MHz), and DCS/PCS/WCDMA bands (1710 MHz–2170 MHz). The penta-band PIFA is first designed for GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/WCDMA bands by using two slits and ground pins within a limited antenna volume (8 × 54.6 × 5 mm3; 2.18 cc). …”

Understanding the Determinants of Weight-Related Quality of Life among Bariatric Surgery Candidates by Annie Tessier, Gerald S. Zavorsky, Do Jun Kim, Franco Carli, Nicolas Christou, Nancy E. Mayo

“…A model of weight-related quality of life (WRQL) was developed based on the Wilson-Cleary model, considering subjects' weight characteristics, arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2), walking capacity (6-minute walk test, 6MWT), health-related quality of life (HRQL; Physical and Mental Component Summaries of the SF-36 PCS/MCS), and WRQL. The model of WRQL was tested with linear regressions and a path analysis, which showed that as PaO2 at rest increased 6MWT increased. 6MWT was positively associated with the PCS, which in turn was positively related to WRQL along with the MCS. …”
