Switching Strategies for Power Electronic Converters Examples with Python Simulations


Free Download Switching Strategies for Power Electronic Converters: Examples with Python Simulations (Synthesis Lectures on Power Electronics) by Shivkumar V. Iyer, Mohammad Nair Aalam
English | October 13, 2023 | ISBN: 3031414047 | 221 pages | MOBI | 19 Mb
This book provides a concise introduction to switching strategies for power electronics. It provides an in-depth examination of this one concept giving a newcomer a complete immersive experience which has both the depth that is needed to gain confidence yet is simple to understand. The authors examine the basic operation of power electronic systems from scratch and with the help of simulations, how these systems can be constructed. The approach used treats power electronics similar to puzzles and rather than merely presenting them and describing how they work, explore why they came to have the construction they have, and how they could potentially be modified. The authors make extensive use of simulations, with every theory and every result accompanied by a simulation. All simulations are performed by the free and open source Python programming language and the free and open source circuit simulator Python Power Electronics.

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Code Switching


Free Download Ludmila Isurin, Donald Winford, Kees de Bot, "Multidisciplinary Approaches to Code Switching"
English | 2009 | pages: 385 | ISBN: 9027241783 | PDF | 2,3 mb
The volume presents a selection of contributions by leading scholars in the field of code-switching. In the past the phenomenon of code-switching was studied within different subfields of linguistics and they all took their own perspectives on code-switching without taking into account findings from other subdisciplines. This book raises a question of a much broader multidisciplinary approach to studying the phenomenon of code-switching; calls for integration of disciplines; and illustrates how frameworks from one subfield can be applied to models in another. The volume includes survey chapters, empirical studies, contributions that use empirical data to test new hypotheses about code-switching, or suggest new approaches and models for the study of code-switching, and chapters that discuss principles and constraints of code-switching, and code-switching vs. transfer. The book is easily accessible to anyone who is interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in bilinguals.
