The Effect of Air Humidity on the Performance of DC Link Capacitor Components
DC link capacitors (DCLCs) are key devices in converters. The relative humidity affects the performance of the elements of a DCLC. Currently, there are relatively few studies on the effect of relative humidity on the electrical characteristics of the ...

Aging Intensity for Step-Stress Accelerated Life Testing Experiments
The aging intensity (AI), defined as the ratio of the instantaneous hazard rate and a baseline hazard rate, is a useful tool for the describing reliability properties of a random variable corresponding to a lifetime. In this work, the concept of AI is introduced in step-stress accelerated life testing (SSALT) experiments, providing new insights to the ...

Testing brnbu ageing class of life-time distribution based on moment inequality
In this paper, new moment inequality is derived for Bivariate Renewal New Better than Used (BRNBU) ageing class of life-time distribution. This inequality demonstrates that if the mean life is finite, then all higher order moments exist. Based on the Moment inequality, new testing procedures for testing bivariate exponentiality against BRNBU ageing ...

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...

Communication and Language Profiles of Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive and language deficits are frequently reported sequelae of posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT). Typically, delayed onset impedes prompt assessment and early intervention. This has devastating implications for quality of life.
