Within this spectrum, text-to-image (TTI) models have emerged as a formidable approach to generating varied and aesthetically appealing compositions, spanning applications from artistic creation to realistic facial synthesis, and demonstrating significant advancements in computer vision, image processing, and multimodal tasks. The advent of Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) signifies a paradigm shift in the domain of AI capabilities. This article delves into the feasibility of employing the Stable Diffusion LDM to illustrate literary works. For this exploration, seven classic Brazilian books have been selected as case studies. The objective is to ascertain the practicality of this endeavor and to evaluate the potential of Stable Diffusion in producing illustrations that augment and enrich the reader's experience. We will outline the beneficial aspects, such as the capacity to generate distinctive and contextually pertinent images, as well as the drawbacks, including any shortcomings in faithfully capturing the essence of intricate literary depictions. Through this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of the viability and efficacy of utilizing AI-generated illustrations in literary contexts, elucidating both the prospects and challenges encountered in this pioneering application of technology.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 12","pages":"1000-1008"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10789626","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mathematical model of the panel is presented and a strategy is proposed to integrate its nonlinear dynamics into the dynamic model of the boost converter. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic behavior, leaving the modeling of the effects of parasitic losses inherent to electronic devices for a future study. A discrete model that is feasible to implement in an FPGA to achieve HIL simulation in real time is shown. An optimized strategy of implementation of nonlinear functions implemented in lookup tables is presented. That strategy allows optimizing the resolution without affecting the calculation latency. A latency analysis of the calculation of the model states is also included where a time of 100ns is established for each simulation step. This latency time is sufficient for real-time simulations. Finally, comparisons of results with a software-based simulator to validates the proposed model are shown.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 11","pages":"962-970"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10738270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the fundamental elements of these systems is an isotropic electric field sensor that is small relative to the radiated wavelength. The obtained SAR value must be compared with the basic restriction levels or exposure limits established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) or similar international bodies. This work presents the design and implementation of a novel isotropic electric field sensor made with low-cost materials and processes. The response of the developed sensor was compared with the response of a commercial probe in order to perform calibration. The calibration methodology proposed in this work allows transforming voltage measured with the developed low-cost probe to electric field values measured with a calibrated commercial probe in order to calculate SAR values. The results show that the developed sensor can be used in SAR measurement processes.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 11","pages":"983-989"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10738269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brazil is a big consumer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), while Morocco is a big fossil fuel importer. This dependence not only entails substantial import costs for Morocco and high NG liquefaction and transportation expenses for Brazil, but also contributes to elevated carbon emissions. Consequently, Brazil and Morocco are actively exploring substitute resources of renewable power to decrease their dependence on natural fuels and align with global renewable energy targets, including those set forth in agreements like the Kyoto Protocol. Brazil and Morocco boast an abundant array of renewable energy resources, including wind, hydro, solar, and biomass. Leveraging these resources has the potential to swiftly propel these countries towards a low-carbon emissions status when harnessed sustainably for electric power generation. Instead of relying on fossil fuels, the focus of this study is on tapping into the significant potential for power and electricity generation from agricultural residues in Morocco, giving the lessons to Brazilian energy sector for power and electric energy generation form ample agricultural biomass within Brazil. The results show a high potential for energy and electricity generation from cereals, olive biomass, citrus, and date palm residues in Morocco, while cereals, citrus, and sugarcane have better potential for bioenergy and electricity generation in Brazil.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 11","pages":"952-961"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10735448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142517912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a protection for DC systems based on transient di/dt detection is proposed to provide faster short-circuit and overcurrent fault detection, where DC breakers are required to be designed for bidirectional fault current conditions, which is a challenge regarding DC microgrid applications due to some associated problems such as long periods of fault interruption, complex circuit structure, and low reliability. The proposal can detect fault current conditions for different distances from the point of failure, and is suitable to operation in both islanding and grid connected conditions. The proposed circuit was analyzed theoretically and experimentally in steady state, as well as under load changes and short circuit conditions to ensure proper operation, making this solution a suitable fast current fault DC breaker solution, which is a significant advantage and requirement in protection of DC systems.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 11","pages":"945-951"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10735447","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142517849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
