A Combining FPE and Additional Test Vectors Hybrid Strategy for IPMSM Sensorless Control
An Improved Phase Disposition SPWM Strategy for Cascaded Multilevel Inverter
The Carrier Phase Shifted (CPS) strategy is conventional for cascaded multilevel inverter, because it can naturally ensure all cascaded cells to output balanced power. However, in point of spectra of the output line voltage, CPS is suboptimal to Phase Disposition (PD) strategy, because the latter can not naturally ensure power balance. This paper presents an improved PD strategy, inspiration from the disposition of CPS strategy triangle carriers. Just reconstructing the triangle carriers of PD strategy, it can not only reserve the waveform quality of the line voltage to be optimal, but also naturally ensure the output power of each cascaded cells to be balanced
Current fluctuations reduction strategy based on optimal threeāspaceāvector pulseāwidth modulation for serviceālife improvement of DCālink electrolytic capacitors in threeāphase voltageāsource inverter system
Abstract The authors propose a current fluctuation reduction strategy based on optimal threeāspaceāvector pulseāwidth modulation (TSVPWM), which is used to improve the serviceālife of the dcālink electrolytic capacitors in twoālevel threeāphase voltageāsource inverter (VSI) system. Differing from the typical SVPWMābased method that employs two adjacent active voltage vectors and zero voltage vectors to synthesise the reference voltage, the proposed strategy selects the required voltage vectors based on the minimum dcālink electrolytic capacitor current fluctuation. With the proposed strategy, an objective function for the rootāmeanāsquare value of dcālink electrolytic capacitor current is first constructed under the constraint of eight permissible voltage vectors. And then, by solving the minimum of the objective function through the piecewise linear programming, the optimal three voltage vectors under the different modulation ratios and load power factors are obtained accordingly, so as to achieve the minimum dcālink electrolytic capacitor current fluctuations during each switching period. Meanwhile, a PWM implementation scheme based on positiveānegative double carrier signals is presented, which not only simplifies the implementation process but also effectively reduces the switching losses of power devices. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can minimise the dcālink electrolytic capacitor current fluctuation under different working conditions

Microbiological Insights into the Stress-Alleviating Property of an Endophytic Bacillus altitudinis WR10 in Wheat under Low-Phosphorus and High-Salinity Stresses
An indole–3–acetic acid producing Bacillus altitudinis WR10 was previously isolated from the root of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In this study, the strain WR10 was used for relieving abiotic stresses in wheat under low phosphorus and high saline in hydroponic co-culture models. Significantly, strain WR10 improved wheat seed relative germination rate under salinity stress (200/400 mM NaCl) and the root dry weight in wheat seedlings under phosphorus stress (10 μM KH2PO3) when insoluble phosphates are available. To provide insights into its abiotic stress-alleviating properties, the strain was characterized further. WR10 grows well under different culture conditions. Particularly, WR10 resists salt (12% NaCl) and hydrolyzes both inorganic and organic insoluble phosphates. WR10 uses many plant-derived substrates as sole carbon and energy sources. It produces catalase, amylase, phosphatase, phytase, reductase, and 1–aminocyclopropane–1–carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. In addition, WR10 possesses long peritrichous flagella, and its biofilm formation, as well as phytase production, is induced by abiotic stresses. Overall, the salinity-alleviating property of WR10 in wheat can be attributed to its inherent tolerance to NaCl, formation of biofilm, and production of enzymes, like catalase, amylase, and ACC deaminase. Meanwhile, B. altitudinis WR10 reduces low-phosphorus stress in wheat by production of phosphatases and phytases in the presence of insoluble phosphates

Self-Tuning Fuzzy PI-Type Controller in Z-Source Inverter for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
This paper presents new algorithms to control speed induction motor (SIM) and the peak dc-link voltage (PDV) across the inverter bridge in z-source inverters (ZSI) by applying self-tuning fuzzy PI controller (SFP) with robust structure and non-linear characteristic. In particular, this so-called SFP based control algorithm (SFPA) is applied to a closed loop speed controlsystem of induction motor, which relies on direct torque controlscheme combined with modified space vector modulation (DTCMSVM) control strategy with so many exceptional features (e.g. fast torque response, low steady state torque ripple, and high accurate). Additionally, SFPA is used to control SIM and PDV are more adaptive to the sudden change of parameters such as load torque, stator resistance and dc input voltage (DIV), respectively. The transient response of SIM and PDV are thus improved with less over shoot, short rise time, small steady-state error and fast settling time, with low disturbance for output voltage stabilization in the inverter bridge. As a result, we achieve higher accuracy and robustness of SIM control system. Our new SFPA is verified in both simulation and experimental implementation using MATLAB and dSPACE DS1103, respectively.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i4.57
Crosstalk between Macrophages, T Cells, and Iron Metabolism in Tumor Microenvironment
Leukocytes, including macrophages and T cells, represent key players in the human immune system, which plays a considerable role in the development and progression of tumors by immune surveillance or immune escape. Boosting the recruitment of leukocytes into the tumor microenvironment and promoting their antitumor responses have been hot areas of research in recent years. Although immunotherapy has manifested a certain level of success in some malignancies, the overall effectiveness is far from satisfactory. Iron is an essential trace element required in multiple, normal cellular processes, such as DNA synthesis and repair, cellular respiration, metabolism, and signaling, while dysregulated iron metabolism has been declared one of the metabolic hallmarks of malignant cancer cells. Furthermore, iron is implicated in the modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, and elucidating the targeted regulation of iron metabolism may have the potential to benefit antitumor immunity and cancer treatment. In the present review, we briefly summarize the roles of leukocytes and iron metabolism in tumorigenesis, as well as their crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment. The combination of immunotherapy with targeted regulation of iron and iron-dependent regulated cell death (ferroptosis) may be a focus of future research
