Fetal Biometry and Early Behavioural Development
… The biometrics include anogenital distance (AGD), several brain measurements (transcerebellar diameter (TCD), ventricular atrium (VA)) and head circumference (HC). AGD was included as a proxy for prenatal sex steroid hormones, given the importance of the latter as an influence of brain …

Switching Trajectory Control for High Voltage Silicon Carbide Power Devices with Novel Active Gate Drivers
… optimizing three-level active gate driver (AGD) is proposed. The proposed AGD has five operation modes, i.e., faster/normal/slower for the turn-on process and slower/normal for the turn-off process. The availability of multiple operation modes offers an extra degree of freedom to improve the …

Kinetic, Mechanistic, and Inhibition Studies On the Deiminase Family of Enzymes
… arginine deiminase (PAD) and agmatine deiminase (AgD) both belong to the guanidino-group modifying enzymes superfamily. Although these two enzymes catalyze a similar reaction, the conversion of a guanidinium to a ureido and ammonia, their substrates differ greatly, i.e., peptidyl-arginine versus …

Geostatistical design and analysis for estimating local variations in malaria disease burden
… the context of adaptive geostatistical designs (AGD). We propose two classes of designs based on singleton and batch sampling. We show how our findings inform an AGD of rMIS, in the perimeter of Majete Wildlife Reserve (MWR) in Chikwawa, southern Malawi. The third paper is a commentary on a paper …

A Study on Deep Learning: Training, Models and Applications
… algorithm called Annealed Gradient Descent (AGD). This dissertation presents a theoretical analysis on the convergence properties and learning speed of AGD to show its benefits. Experimental results have shown that AGD yields comparable performance as SGD but it can significantly expedite …

Reliability and Lifetime Assessment and Enhancement of SIC MOSFETs in an H-ANPC Inverter
… Scheme (AGVCS) and an Active Gate Driver (AGD) are developed to enhance reliability and extend the operational lifetime of SiC MOSFETs. Experimental validation confirms that integrating AGVCS with the proposed reliability framework improves inverter robustness. The work concludes by …

Novel forage legumes for sustainable summer pasture mixtures in Saskatchewan
… mixtures, respectively. Animal grazing days (AGD) (P = 0.26) and total beef production (TBP) (P = 0.59) at WBDC were similar in both yrs, for all pasture mixtures ranging from 78 to 116 AU ha-1 AGD and 58 to 78 kg ha-1 TBP, respectively. However, at AAFC SCRDC in yr 2, AGD and TBP differed (P …

Topics in non-convex optimization and learning
… such as Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent (AGD) and stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG), have Riemannian counterparts that are also fast under certain conditions. In the second part, I challenge two common practices in deep learning, namely empirical risk minimization (ERM) and …

Design, Optimization, and Integration of a SiC-Based Traction Inverter with Enhanced Current Sharing for Paralleled Discrete Devices
… this, Chapter 4 proposes an active gate driver (AGD) solution. A low-cost and compact di/dt-RC current sensing technique is introduced, along with a novel RK sensing structure to improve sensing accuracy. The proposed RK sensing structure requires only three tiny components (2 resistors and 1 …

The Effects of Induced Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in NAG-1 Transgenic Mice
… in the age of puberty and anal-genital distance (AGD) were observed. NAG-1 mice also display similar ovarian phenotypes, developing fewer corpora lutea, and having disrupted estrus cycles. NAG-1 mice displayed no significant weight gain between treatment groups throughout the study, and no …
