A Modular Multilevel Voltage-Boosting Marx Pulse-Waveform Generator for Electroporation Applications by Elgenedy M.A.

“…The proposed BMPG has hardware features that allow modularity, redundancy, and scalability as well as operational features that alleviate the need of series-connected switches and allows generation of a wide range of pulse waveforms. In the BMPG, a controllable, low-voltage input boost converter supplies, via directing/blocking (D/B) diodes, two arms of a series modular multilevel converter half-bridge sub-modules (HB-SMs). …”

Exchange rate pass-through and inflation dynamics in Tunisia: A Markov-switching approach by Khemiri, Rim

“…The objective is to track inflation regimes for the Tunisian economy and to forecast its determinants. Using a Markov-switching approach, the authors identified two main regimes for inflation in Tunisia during this period: a low and stable inflation regime associated with a low pass-through level and a high inflation regime associated with a high pass-through level. …”
