Triple Active Bridge (TAB) converter is a multi-port DC-DC converter. This converter is an extension of the popular Dual Active Bridge converter. It features desirable traits of the DAB converter, such as high power density, ... -
A Unified, Configurable, Non-Iterative Guidance System For Launch Vehicles
(2011-02-10)A satellite launch vehicle not subjected to any perturbations, external or internal, could be guided along a trajectory by following a stored, pre-computed steering program. In practice, perturbations do occur, and in order ... -
Unique Features Of Heme-Biosynthetic Pathway In The Human Malaria Parasite, Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-12-29)Malaria is a life-threatening vector borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. More than 100 species of Plasmodium can infect numerous animal species such as reptiles, birds and various ... -
Unique Response and the Survival Mechanism of Mycobacterial Subpopulations against Oxidative and Nitrite Stress
(2017-12-03)Mycobacterial populations are known for the heterogeneity in terms of cell size, morphology, and metabolic status, which are believed to help the population survive under stress conditions. Such population heterogeneity ... -
