Self-balanced switched capacitors based thirteen level three-fold multilevel inverter for solar PV applications
Abstract While the conventional topologies of multilevel inverters (MLIs) operate with unity voltage gain, switched capacitors-based MLIs (SCMLIs) offer a solution to realize an inherent voltage gain of more than one, thereby stepping up the voltage in the process of DC to AC conversion. This work proposes a novel SCMLI constituting thirteen levels, requiring only one DC input and 3-capacitors to achieve an inclusive three-fold gain in voltage. The number of power switches employed in the proposed module is thirteen, where nine switches peak-inverse-voltage (PIV) is considered as one-third of the output voltage amplitude. Experimental results validate the proposed inverter (PI), demonstrating its efficacy. The superior performance of the PI with respect to component count, power switch voltage ratings, and cost function (CF) is highlighted by comparison with other SCMLIs. The total standing voltage (TSV) per level, expressed in per unit with respect to $${V}_{in}$$ is 1.307, while the PIV per level is 0.153, which is competitive with recent literature. Additionally, the CF is 4.538, lower than other designs, enhancing the performance of the structure for real-time applications.

Proteome of seminal plasma and sperm associated with sperm survival following cryopreservation in the Red Wolf (Canis rufus)
Abstract Understanding of the impacts of seminal plasma and sperm proteins on both animal and human fertility has expanded rapidly in the last decade. However, little is known about the reproductive proteomes of endangered species. In this study, we characterized for the first time the seminal plasma and sperm proteomes of the critically endangered Red Wolf and evaluated differences in proteomic signatures between ejaculates which experienced “High” versus “Baseline” ( i.e . population average) sperm cryo-resilience. Highly cryo-resilient ejaculates (High_CR, n = 5) maintained > 50% sperm total motility relative to fresh samples following cryopreservation and post-thaw incubation, as well as acrosome integrity post-thaw. These samples had significantly higher expression of A1BG, APBB1, KRT1, KRT10, LOC609402 and LOC100685620 (AGP) proteins in seminal plasma, and significantly reduced expression of RHOA, NUP62, SMYD4, ARHGD1B, CAPG, CSTB, and CFL1 proteins in sperm compared with Baseline cryo-resilient samples (Base_CR, n = 5). Differences in protein expression indicated that alterations in physiological pathways including blood clotting cascades (seminal plasma) and both actin dynamics and immune pathways (sperm) are associated with sperm cryo-resilience. This new knowledge may prove useful in future optimization of semen cryopreservation and assisted reproductive technologies for the critically endangered Red Wolf.
