need to provide higher reactive power, thus operating with a lower power factor (pf) [9], [11]- [17]. For example, in [9], the power factor of IPMSMs at 0.2 modulation index is shown to be 0.52. The power factor of SynRMs also varies between 0.3-0.7 based on designed saliency [17]. Hence, the three-level inverters for these applications need to be controlled appropriately at lower modulation indices and lower power factors for optimum…

In the United States there are approximately 7000 deaths per year related to adverse drug events (ADEs); furthermore, it is estimated that a hospitalized patient is subject to at least one medication administration error per day (Koppel, Wetterneck, & Telles, 2008; Richardson, Bromirski, & Hayden, 2012). Medications errors usually end up extending patient stays by 1.74 days and cost the health care system billions of dollars each year (Koppel et al., 2008; Van Onzenoort et al., 2008). Most ADEs…
Many people say that Renewable, and Alternative energies are going to be the only viable options for energy in the future. Others believe that these new types of fuels will only harm the planet more.
