IGBT CHIP TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD IN REAL TIME

The work is devoted to the study of temperature–sensitive parameters of power IGBT transistors. A method for measuring IGBT temperature based on temperature–sensitive parameters is considered. An experimental estimate of the temperature dependence of the temperature–sensitive parameter Rgint.

Experimental Estimate of Soil Nutrient Exchange in an Afrotropical Forest: The Role of Dung Beetle Community Complexity

Despite recognition of its importance, little is known about functional aspects of soil fauna. Here, we investigate the effect that different dung beetle functional groups have on macronutrient movement (N, P, K, and C) from dung into soil over 112-day period. We report a large overall effect where more macronutrients are moved into soil over time when beetles are present compared to a control treatment. We also report a large effect of beetle functional groupings on the amount of macronutrient movement, with larger dung beetles moving more nutrients over time. We provide the first experimental evidence that dung beetle body size directly influences macronutrient recycling and discuss the importance of dung beetle functional characteristics in maintaining soil fertility.

Adhesive Joints of Heterogeneous Materials in Protective Wares

Different materials are often combined in protective sewing goods. Multifunctional adhesive film material for adhesive joints of protective materials is created. The results of experimental estimate of adhesive joint physic-mechanical properties of materials with heterogeneous properties are represented. Adhesive-bonded joints of goods for personal protection are investigated.
