This article presents a second-order adaptive fuzzy logic controller (SO-AFLC) to improve the performance of a grid-connected double-fed induction generator (DFIG) in an oscillating water column power plant (OWCPP). The proposed SO-AFLC was used to i...

Orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystals (OAFLCs) represent unique self-organized materials with significant potential for applications in photonic devices due to their sub-microsecond switching times and high optical contrast in electro-optical...

Modification of the physical properties of the (S)-MHPOBC antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) by doping with low concentrations of gold nanoparticles is presented for the first time. We used several complementary experimental methods to determine...

Exploiting RNA interference (RNAi) in disease control through non-transformative methods that overcome the hurdle of producing transgenic plants has attracted much attention over the last years. Here, we explored such a method and used non-pathogenic...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton biomass and water turbidity can provide crucial information about the function, health and vulnerability of lagoon ecosystems (coral reefs, sea grasses, etc.). A statistical algorithm is proposed to esti...

Homeobox proteins, a class of well conserved transcription factors, regulate the expression of targeted genes, especially those involved in development. In filamentous fungi, homeobox genes are required for normal conidiogenesis and fruiting body for...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are attracting a huge focus in the current energy scenario. Various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are used in solar PV systems in order to achieve maximum power. In this article, a clear analysis of conve...
