Rotor-position detection in permanent-magnet wheel motor to ensure smooth startup from standstill (2019)
Journal Article
Qu, K., Li, W., Xu, G., Mei, T., Cao, J., Zhang, Y., & Hu, H. (2019). Rotor-position detection in permanent-magnet wheel motor to ensure smooth startup from standstill. IEEE Access, 7, 54179-54191. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2912445

In this paper, an innovative rotor-position-detection method for a permanent-magnet wheel motor (PMWM) that operates from standstill to low speed is presented. The neutral voltage, which is sensed through phaseshifted pulse width modulation, overcome...

Doxycycline, Azithromycin and vitamin C (DAV) : a potent combination therapy for targeting mitochondria and eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs) (2019)
Journal Article
Fiorillo, M., Tóth, F., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2019). Doxycycline, Azithromycin and vitamin C (DAV) : a potent combination therapy for targeting mitochondria and eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs). Aging, 11(8), 2202-2216. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101905

Here, we devised a new strategy for eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs), via a "synthetic-metabolic" approach, involving two FDA-approved antibiotics and a dietary vitamin supplement. This approach was designed to induce a "rho-zero-like" phenotype...

Improving Building Energy Efficiency through Measurement of Building Physics Properties Using Dynamic Heating Tests (2019)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2019). Improving Building Energy Efficiency through Measurement of Building Physics Properties Using Dynamic Heating Tests. Energies, 12(8), Article 1450. https://doi.org/10.3390/en12081450

Buildings contribute to nearly 30% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making a significant impact on climate change. Despite advanced design methods, such as those based on dynamic simulation tools, a significant discrepancy exists between designed...

Rail accident analysis using large-scale investigations of train derailments on switches and crossings : comparing the performances of a novel stochastic mathematical prediction and various assumptions (2019)
Journal Article

Each day tens of turnout-related derailment occur across the world. Not only is the prediction of them quite complex and difficult, but this also requires a comprehensive range of applications, and managing a well-designed geographic information syst...
