Design of FPGA-Based SHE and SPWM Digital Switching Controllers for 21-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter Model por Emilia Noorsal, Asyraf Rongi, Intan Rahayu Ibrahim, Rosheila Darus, Daniel Kho, Samsul Setumin

“…Many recent studies on multilevel inverters have used field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as a switching controller device to overcome the limitations of microcontrollers or DSPs, such as limited sampling rate, low execution speed, and a limited number of IO pins. However, the design techniques of most existing FPGA-based switching controllers require large amounts of memory (RAM) for storage of sampled data points as well as complex controller architectures to generate the output gating pulses. …”

Differential analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic of free fatty acid rancidity process in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruits of different husk types por Shuyan Zhang, Shuyan Zhang, Weisheng Zhang, Jerome Jeyakumar John Martin, Rashad Qadri, Xiaopeng Fu, Meili Feng, Lu Wei, Anni Zhang, Cheng Yang, Cheng Yang, Hongxing Cao, Hongxing Cao

“…IntroductionOil palm is the world's highest yielding oil crop and its palm oil has high nutritional value, making it an oilseed plant with important economic value and application prospects. After picking, oil palm fruits exposed to air will gradually become soft and accelerate the process of fatty acid rancidity, which will not only affect their flavor and nutritional value, but also produce substances harmful to the human body. …”
