This paper presents a finite-control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) with fractional-order proportional-integral (FO-PI) controller to regulate the dc-link voltage of a single–phase cascaded H–bridge (CHB) 5-level inverter working as a shunt active power filter (APF).By using the FCS-MPC scheme in a single–phase CHB mult
Abstract Background Three decades ago, casino gaming on sovereign American Indian lands was legalized with differential economic and social implications.While casinos have improved the incomes of tribal communities, there have been both positive and negative findings in relation to health impacts.We sought to understand the perceived pathways by wh
The annual cumulative quantity of high and medium alloy steel scrap has exceeded 10 million tons.Using the traditional smelting process involving electric arc refining in a smelting furnace for these scraps causes high percentages of alloy losses, which decreases the value of the alloy steel scrap and poses environmental threats.Existing studies ha
This study was aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of Terminalia catappa kernel oil (TCKO) and its characterization as well as total phenolic content cultivated in two different locations in Sabah, Malaysia.TCK contained 6.87 to 6.92% moisture, 4.54 to 4.77% ash, 21.98 to 22.44% protein, 5.13 to 5.36% total fibre, 6.88 to 7.01% carbohydrate,
