Effect of Dual Three-Phase configurations and interleaved carrier-based PWM techniques on the DC-Link current stress by Ander DeMarcos, Milijana Odavic, Endika Robles, Unai Ugalde, Jon Andreu

“…Using the Double Fourier Integral formalism, this work derives analytical expressions for input current harmonics, identifies dominant ripple components, and assesses interleaving strategies to suppress these harmonics, thereby reducing RMS current stress on the capacitor. The findings are validated through experimental measurements, which confirm that proper selection of DZSI-PWM techniques and interleaving angles leads to up to 85% reduction in capacitor RMS current stress compared to standard non-interleaved modulation, thus enhancing power converter reliability without additional hardware modifications. …”

Inhibition of miR-20a promotes neural stem cell survival under oxidative stress conditions by Ivan Arzhanov, Ivan Arzhanov, Ruslan A. Klassen, Ruslan A. Klassen, Lukas Valihrach, Nataliya Romanyuk

“…Apoptotic responses and miR-20a expression levels were assessed via flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, and Western blot analysis.ResultsNSCs exposed to OS showed a marked reduction in metabolic activity. However, treatment with a miR-20a inhibitor over 72 h significantly improved cell survival and metabolic activity in a time-dependent manner compared to untreated stressed cells.DiscussionOur findings suggest that miR-20a inhibition mitigates OS-induced cytotoxicity and promotes NSC viability, presenting a potential therapeutic approach for enhancing neural tissue regeneration.…”
