A FAMILY OF 5-LEVEL BOOST-ACTIVE NEUTRAL-POINT-CLAMPED (5L-BANPC) INVERTERS WITH FULL DC-LINK VOLTAGE UTILIZATION DESIGNED USING HALF-BRIDGES

A Family of 5-Level Boost-Active Neutral-Point-Clamped (5L-BANPC) Inverters with Full DC-Link Voltage Utilization Designed Using Half-Bridges

Conventional 5-level active neutral-point-clamped (5L-ANPC) topology and state-of-the-art 5-level hybrid active neutral-point-clamped (5L-HANPC) topology are popular for inverter applications.However, their dc-link voltage utilization is limited to only 50%.With the maximum voltage level generated by only half dc-link voltage, these inverters are n

Dynamics of HIV-containing compartments in macrophages reveal sequestration of virions and transient surface connections.

During HIV pathogenesis, infected macrophages behave as "viral reservoirs" that accumulate and retain virions Polos within dedicated internal Virus-Containing Compartments (VCCs).The nature of VCCs remains ill characterized and controversial.Using wild-type HIV-1 and a replication-competent HIV-1 carrying GFP internal to the Gag precursor, we analy

Individual and combined effects of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms on breast cancer risk: A meta-analysis and re-analysis of systematic meta-analyses.

BACKGROUND:Fourteen previous meta-analyses have been published to analyze the polymorphisms of individual GSTM1 present/null, GSTT1 present/null, and GSTP1 IIe105Val on breast cancer (BC) risk.However, their meta-analyses did not explore the combined effects of the three genetic polymorphisms on BC risk.In addition, they did not evaluate the credib
