Faults are an important concept in the study of system dependability, and most approaches to dependability can be characterized by the way in which they deal with faults (e.g., fault avoidance, fault removal, fault tolerance, ...

The atmospheric effects that influence on the signal registered by remote sensors might be minimized in order to provide reliable spectral information. In aquatic systems, the application of atmospheric correction aims to ...

The absolute atmospheric correction inputs are not always available, and then such parameters are assumed based on geographical location, acquisition time and sensor type. These assumptions can imply in errors in retrieving ...

Purpose: Cardiac PET-MR has shown potential for the comprehensive assessment of coronary heart disease. However, image degradation due to physiological motion remains a challenge that could hinder the adoption of this ...

Estimating total systemic blood flow based on measurements from a single aortic arch is common practice in cardiovascular studies on reptiles to avoid heavy instrumentation and consequent stress responses. This practice ...

In this paper, a buck-boost converter with power factor correction is proposed, using a three-state switching cell named of B configuration, operating in continuous conduction mode. The type B cell insertion on the buck-boost ...

In this paper, a bridgeless buck-boost converter with power factor correction is proposed, using a three-state switching cell named of B configuration, operating in continuous conduction mode. The bridgeless technique ...
