This paper presents a detailed design methodology for a DC-DC converter based on the recent Quasi-Y Source impedance network, which has interesting characteristics for applications related to renewable energy sources. ...

The Campbellian tradition provides a conceptual framework to assess threats to validity. On the other hand, different models of causal analysis have been developed to control estimation biases in different research designs. ...

This article aims to study the effects of the recent Haitian immigration to Brazil on labor market outcomes of natives such as mean wage and net formal admissions, where the municipalities are the units of analysis. Due ...

The Campbellian tradition provides a conceptual framework to assess threats to validity. On the other hand, different models of causal analysis have been developed to control estimation biases in different research designs. ...

Impedance network inverters (INIs) have emerged as an alternative to improve traditional inverters, allowing their operation as a buck-boost-type converter, through the utilization of the “shoot-through” conduction state, ...

Due to its ability to provide Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control and independent regulation of the DC bus voltage, this makes the inverter quasi-Z-Source (qZS) an attractive candidate for applications in ...
