The financing of graduate medical education is likely to change significantly in the near future as third party payers are already pressuring hospitals to discontinue paying for graduate medical education through patient care. The Medicare System of Prospective Payment Implications for Medical Education and Practice isolates significant implications of prospective payment systems, and deals with each one in detail. Besides providing a theoretical base, it identifies various alternatives and provides guidelines for dealing with them.

In this book, various three level PWM control topologies are discussed in detail and simulations are carried out. It is demonstrated that the input current is sinusoidal and the input power factor is almost unity. Capacitor voltage balancing is also achieved. The concept of Non-dissipative snubber is introduced and a "Soft-Switched Single-Phase Three-Level Rectifier" using passive lossless snubber is analyzed in detail and PSIM simulation is carried out to investigate its performance.
