A Theory of Justice - Cornell University

Course schedule: Nearly all assignments from articles will be excerpts. Of course, this is true of all assignments from books, as well. Since readings from Rawls' book, A Theory of Justice, will be directly from this required purchase, I have specified assignments from it in detail, below.

State-space average Modeling of DC-DC Converters ... - CORE

Discontinuous Conduction Mode occurs due to low load current operation of converters which employ current or voltage unidirectional switches. The switching ripples in inductor current or capacitor voltage causes the polarity to reverse of the applied switch current or voltage and thus a zero current mode is reached.
