The paper starts with an overview of different concepts of short-circuit power: the IEC standard, the effective and the apparent short-circuit power. The short-circuit power is a key concept in characterising the ability of a power system to feed fluctuating loads without excessive flicker levels. Its apparent value (from measurements) is generally higher than its standard value (from calculati...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of period of gestation and position of fetal neck on nuchal translucency measurement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nuchal translucency was measured in the mid-sagittal plane, with the fetal neck in the flexed, neutral, and extended positions in 100 pregnant women between 11 and 13(+6) weeks. Mean nuchal translucency measurements at differe...

Including hypermedia in broadcast video combines content formatted for a lean-forward medium (the Web) with a lean-back one (TV) to form a hybrid medium. We identify four challenges for interacting with and experiencing this new medium. We discuss the role a second screen may play in addressing these challenges.

We have implemented a student note-sharing system, AirTransNote, that facilitates collaborative and interactive learning in conventional classrooms. With the AirTransNote system, a teacher can immediately share student notes with the class using a projection screen to enhance group learning. However, students tend to hesitate to share their notes, particularly when the notes contain embarrassin...

With progress in mineral processing technologies, particle size classification equipment has also been changed to satisfy the needs of modern plants. Accordingly, design, manufacturing and utilizing of banana screens in mineral processing plants have led to increased screening efficiency at industrial scale. Banana screen is an important invention occurred in past decade which increases screeni...
