Who is not fascinated by various images which show the brain functionality patterns? Arent you amazed and somewhat dumbfounded when our brains can be read through an MRI machine? As the backbone of data mining, artificial intelligence has gradually received more recognition in academic world. Although specifically analyzing neuro-imaging data utilizing Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines, Pengs research has generally demonstrated the ability to achieve higher classification accuracy does not necessitate longer training time. With more intelligent algorithms and more...

The intention set for this book is to formulate a few topologies with enhanced voltage boost, while drawing continuous input current. To further reduce the device switching stress and improve the output waveform quality, a series of impedance-source NPC inverters based on transformer-capacitor impedance network inserted to the front-end of the NPC inverter bridge are proposed. These inverters integrate all advantages of the transformer-based impedance-source two-level inverters and classical NPC three-level switching. The proposed trans-Z-source NPC inverter has enhanced voltage boost...

This book presents a study exploring the nature of English-speaking anxiety in asking questions in class from the perspective of seven Chinese learners of English (ESL), with reference to their self-reflective accounts of emotional difficulties encountered in a UK university setting. Through the use of an in-depth semi-structured qualitative interview format, this study identified the effects, sources, and coping strategies pertaining to these learners English-speaking anxiety in asking questions in class. The findings show this type of anxiety exerts compound effects on respondents with...
