Pulse frequency modulation based tri-mode controller for switched-mode DC-DC converters by Nashit, Salma

“…We have verified the derived expressions by means of MATLAB and SPICE simulations. Second, on the basis of the aforementioned expressions, we derive the expressions for optimum parameter values that yield the minimum power-loss for each of the PFM approaches. …”

Ethnic differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dietary salt intake and association with hypertension in Malaysia: a multi-centre cross-sectional study by Chia, Yook Chin, Ching, Siew Mooi, Chew, Ming Tsuey, Devaraj, Navin Kumar, Oui, Jethro Ee Keat, Lim, Hooi Min, Chew, Bee Nah, Mohamed, Mohazmi, Ooi, Pei Boon, Cheng, Maong Hui, Beh, Hooi Chin, Chung, Felicia Fei-Lei

“…Participants of different ethnic groups displayed significant differences in the KAP domains, where Indians generally exhibited better knowledge, attitudes, and reported better practices such as reading salt labels and using spices. Those who were unaware of the difference between salt and sodium and who reported not reading salt labels had higher odds of having elevated blood pressure. …”
