TL;DR: The electrophoretic type of venoms was not dependent on either the age of the animal, the length of its captivity or differences in climate, season or diet and could easily be distinguished from those from the Pacific zones by the electrophic mobilities of venom proteolytic and fibrinolytic enzymes of high toxicity.

TL;DR: Important geo-economic differences exist in the severity, clinician recognition, and management of ARDS, and in patients' outcomes, and high gross national income per person was associated with increased survival in ARDS.

TL;DR: The proposed control strategies enable decoupled operation of the converter, provide maximum power point tracking capability at the generator side, grid code compliance at the grid side (including low-voltage ride-through control) and good steady state and dynamic performance for balancing the capacitor voltages in all the clusters.
Abstract: The nominal power of single wind energy conversion systems (WECS) has been steadily increasing, now reaching power ratings close to 10 MW. In the power conversion stage, medium-voltage power converters are replacing the conventional low-voltage back-to-back topology. Modular multilevel converters have appeared as a promising solution for multi-MW WECSs, due to their modularity and the capability to reach high nominal voltages. This paper discusses the application of the modular multilevel matrix converter to drive multi-MW WECSs. The modeling and control systems required for this application are extensively analyzed and discussed in this paper. The proposed control strategies enable decoupled operation of the converter, provide maximum power point tracking capability at the generator side, grid code compliance at the grid side (including low-voltage ride-through control) and good steady state and dynamic performance for balancing the capacitor voltages in all the clusters. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated using simulation and through experimental results obtained with a 27-power-cell prototype.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The disease affecting the Costa Rican family constitutes an axonal, autosomal recessive CMT subtype (ARCMT2B), and the epithelial membrane protein 3 gene, encoding a PMP22 homologous protein and located on 19q13.3, was ruled out as being responsible for this form of CMT.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the G115D substitution in the Chinese hamster UDPG:PP dramatically impairs its enzymatic activity, thereby causing cellular UDP-glucose deficiency.
