Novel Dynamic-Sliding-Mode-Manifold-Based Continuous Fractional-Order Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control for a Class of Second-Order Nonlinear Systems

Abstract: A novel dynamic-sliding-mode-manifold-based continuous fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control is proposed for a class of second-order nonlinear systems. By designing the ...

Partial discharge control in a power electronic module using high permittivity non-linear dielectrics

Abstract: High electric fields at the edge of the substrate metallization can give rise to partial discharge within power electronic modules and can lead to eventual failure. This paper examines the ...

Investigating the associations between dietary nutrient intake and risk of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: a cross-sectional study from NHANES and a case-control study

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is a prevalent autoimmune disorder and a leading cause of hypothyroidism, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary ...
