In this paper we propose a high frequency unity power factor correction resonant converter for electronic ballast lamps. The change in the switching frequency of the converter changes the output voltage amplitude of the converter also changing the harmonic distortion in the output voltage and current. To maintain the input current shape the converter employs small energy tanks reducing the THD of the input current. The efficiency, THD of the converter are analyzed in MATLAB Simulink software with respect to change in switching frequency and presented in this paper.

This work was devotedto examining the effects of fly ash geopolymer mixed with 15% Barium Sulphate on radiation attenuation using Gafchramic XR-QA2 film. The fly ash geopolymer with 15% Barium Sulphate made high attenuation at energy of 120 KVp. In this study, the maximum radiation attenuation value of 99.43% was obtained by the design shielding box. The X-ray machine was used as a source for X-rays. While the Gafchramic XR-QA2 film dose was measured by the optical density equation, the ion chamber is used for dose measurement.

This paper described development of PIC-Microcontroller based fully-automatic blood pressure monitoring system with GSM communication. Traditionally mercury sphygmomanometers are used for blood pressure measurement; however mercury sphygmomanometer method is manual and is mostly understood by expert. Later, Oscillometric devices often referred to as automatic devices are introduced; automatic blood pressure devices do not require observer participation beyond placing the cuff on the arm and noting the digital blood pressure readout. The objective of this paper is to enhance the existing automatic blood pressure devices by adding GSM communication facility so that health personnel can monitor a patient's blood pressure (BP)..............

Offered work, it is devoted to a geometrization of physics and research of ray system. We consider system of circular, wavy and zigzag trajectories of the movement of electrons in atom shells. We show communication between the nuclear model of atom and wavy trajectories located along a horizontal tape. The offered model of the movement of electrons is based on geometrical interpretation of the principle of Pauli and Periodic Table of chemical elements. Visual interpretation of distribution of electrons in energy levels and shells of atom is shown. In our constructions we are also based on the known models of trajectories of electrons in atom.

Hydrogenated a-Si0.47Ge0.53 thin films were prepared at 200 and 250C by the glow-discharge deposition technique from SiH4 and GeH4 gases. The Structural changes of the films were characterized using IR, XRD and SEM after annealing at 300C for 8h. Remarkable structural degradation was observed upon annealing because of the formation of hydrogen bubbles which give rise to surface bumps. The influence of annealing on the electrical conductivity and optical energy gap of a- Si0.47Ge0.53:H thin films was discussed. The results revealed that the electrical conductivity is increased with increasing the annealing temperatures and /or annealing time, while optical energy gap is decreased. On the other hand it was found that the activation energy of crystallization deduced from the annealing time dependence of the conductivity using Avrami's equation is structural dependent.

Diyarbakır Plain, a part of the historical Mesopotamian Plain, has been home to many civilizations. One of the most basic reasons for this is that it has fertile soil and partly rich groundwater and surface water resources. Agricultural irrigation has begun to be realized especially with agricultural grounds for the between 1990-2007 years. This situation threatens the groundwater potential of Diyarbakır Plain. In this study, static and dynamic water level maps of Basin were extracted using ARC INFO program as Geographic Information System.............

Ce que l'on appelle intégration des progiciels de gestion intégrés (PGI), conduit généralement à une refonte du système d'information de gestion, et à une remise à plat des procédures de gestion en place, lesquelles peuvent être par la suite réorganisées suivant les orientations stratégiques ciblées par l'entreprise. Les principaux problèmes commencent lorsqu'il s'agit d'intégrer les fonctionnalités spécifiques à l'entreprise dans le PGI. Entre la standardisation des processus de gestion et la personnalisation du PGI, les entreprises semblent être souvent en quête d'un équilibre qui reflète la cohérence de leurs choix et de leurs décisions avec leurs orientations stratégiques. C'est sur ce thème que notre présente recherche se positionne................

The curvity is among the first alterations in the retinal vessel network to appear in many retinopathies , such as those due to hypertension. An automatic evaluation of retinal vessel tortuosity would help the early detection of such retinopathies. Quite a few techniques for tortuosity measurement and classification have been proposed, but they do not always match the clinical concept of tortuosity. This justifies the need for a new definition, able to express in mathematical terms the tortuosity as perceived by ophthalmologists. We propose here a new algorithm for the evaluation of tortuosity in vessels recognized in digital fundus images...............
