TL;DR: In this article, a buck frequency-modulated zero-current switching quasi-resonant converter (buck PWM ZCS QRC) operating at constant frequency is discussed.
Abstract: A buck pulsewidth modulated zero-current switching quasi-resonant converter (buck PWM ZCS QRC) operating at constant frequency is discussed. Operating principle and design-oriented analysis are presented with normalized design curves, design procedure, design example, simulations, and experimental results. The new topology, which can be considered as a particular one, is compared with the well-established buck frequency-modulated zero-current switching quasi-resonant converter (buck FM ZCS QRC) proposed by Fred C. Lee (1988). >

TL;DR: In this article, a global model that captures variation in mangrove soil organic carbon stocks compatible with distinct coastal environmental settings was developed, and it was shown that mangroves SOC stocks have been significantly underestimated in carbonate settings, and overestimated in deltaic coastlines.
Abstract: Global-scale variation in mangrove ecosystem properties has been explained using a conceptual framework linking geomorphological processes to distinct coastal environmental settings (CES) for nearly 50 years. However, these assumptions have not been empirically tested at the global scale. Here, we show that CES account for global variability in mangrove soil C:N:P stoichiometry and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Using this ecogeomorphology framework, we developed a global model that captures variation in mangrove SOC stocks compatible with distinct CES. We show that mangrove SOC stocks have been underestimated by up to 50% (a difference of roughly 200 Mg ha−1) in carbonate settings and overestimated by up to 86% (around 400 Mg ha−1) in deltaic coastlines. Moreover, we provide information for 57 nations that currently lack SOC data, enabling these and other countries to develop or evaluate their blue carbon inventories. A global model that incorporates information about coastal environmental settings indicates that mangrove soil organic carbon stocks have been significantly underestimated in carbonate settings, and overestimated in deltaic coastlines.

TL;DR: The method is designed to identify references with high academic relevance in databases accessed via the internet, using a bibliometric analysis to sift the selected articles.
Abstract: Purpose – This research paper proposes a method for selecting references related to a research topic, and seeks to exemplify it for the case of a study evaluating training programs. The method is designed to identify references with high academic relevance in databases accessed via the internet, using a bibliometric analysis to sift the selected articles.Design/methodology/approach – The study is descriptive, in so far as its goal is to describe a method, and the nature of the paper is theoretical. The study incorporates an inductive logic, and draws on secondary data sources. The study combines qualitative and quantitative methods, and can therefore be described as mixed method. The research involves the application of a technical procedure.Findings – The method employed sifted a large number of potential resources identified in a search of the internet and, after 11 stages in the proposed process, 11 papers were identified as being relevant to the research topic and highly cited. Descriptive statistics ...

TL;DR: A rapid and robust effect of ascorbic acid is indicated in reversing behavioral and biochemical alterations induced by CUS in mice, suggesting that this vitamin may be an alternative approach for the management of depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The biochemical data show that the extract of S. verticillatus elicited a significant antidepressant-like effect, when assessed in the TST and FST in mice, which seems to involve an interaction with adrenergic, dopaminergic, glutamatergic and serotonergic systems.
