Robust Sliding Mode Control of a Unipolar Power Inverter
The key issue in the practical implementation of the sliding mode (SM) control–based power inverter is the variable switching frequency. This variable switching frequency not only induces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, but also reduces the ...

Pediatric post-discharge mortality in resource-poor countries: A protocol for an updated systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: More than 50 countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, are not on course to meet the neonatal and under-five mortality target set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the year 2030.

Optimal Temporal Filtering of the Cosmic-Ray Neutron Signal to Reduce Soil Moisture Uncertainty
Cosmic ray neutron sensors (CRNS) are increasingly used to determine field-scale soil moisture (SM). Uncertainty of the CRNS-derived soil moisture strongly depends on the CRNS count rate subject to Poisson distribution.

Combined Sentinel-1A With Sentinel-2A to Estimate Soil Moisture in Farmland
In this article, seven filter algorithms were compared. The Lee sigma method was more suitable for estimating soil moisture (SM) than the other filtering methods under different land cover types.

On the growth of ammonium nitrate(III) crystals [PDF]
The growth rate of NH4NO3 phase III crystals is measured and interpreted using two models. The first is a standard crystal growth model based on a spiral growth mechanism, the second outlines the concept of kinetical roughening.

Study of a colliding laser-produced plasma by analysis of time and space-resolved image spectra [PDF]
The interaction of two counter-propagating laser-produced plasmas was studied using simultaneous imaging and spectroscopic techniques. Spectrally-filtered time-gated ICCD imaging was used to obtain information about the spatial dynamics and temporal ...

Estimation of subsurface soil moisture from surface soil moisture in cold mountainous areas [PDF]
Profile soil moisture (SM) in mountainous areas is important for water resource management and ecohydrological studies of downstream arid watersheds. Satellite products are useful for providing spatially distributed SM information but only have limited ...

Extraction, chemical composition, use in induced protection and cross-reactive antigens between exopolisaccharides from Tremella fuciformis Berk and Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri (Hasse) Dye [PDF]
Exopolysaccharides (PS) are the major components on the surface of bacteria and also produced by fungi. These molecules are important in human health, in order to control diabetes as well as protect plants against attacks of foliage diseases.
