In-Vehicle Performance Validation of the Semi-Active Hybrid Energy Storage System by Rehman, Habib-ur

“…In the semi-active topology, UCs power the traction motor directly, and batteries with mass amount of energy storage are connected in parallel with UCs through a bi-directional DC-DC converter. The UCs supply the dynamic component of the load current which decreases the battery size, limits the battery peak current, and extends its life. …”

An ensemble-based machine learning model for predicting type 2 diabetes and its effect on bone health by Belqes Alsadi (18695031)

“…We observed that bone area, bone mineral content, and bone mineral density were slightly lower in the Diabetes group across almost all body parts, but the difference against the control group was not statistically significant except in T12, troch and trunk area. No significant negative impact of diabetes progression on bone health was observed over a period of 5-15 yrs in the cohort.…”
