This paper introduces the modeling of Static Series Voltage Regulator (SSVR) in the load flow calculations for steady-state voltage compensation and loss reduction. For this approach, an accurate model for SSVR is derived to use in load flow calculations. The rating of this device as well as direction of required reactive power injection to compensate voltage to the desired value (1) is derived...

The basic concepts of medical consultation have been reviewed. The referring physician and the consultant both have responsibilities to fulfill in order to maximize the effectiveness of the consultation in improving patient care. The reasons for and urgency of the consultation need to be communicated to and understood by the consultant. The consultant needs to respond by promptly evaluating the...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether final year medical students' perceptions of teaching workshops delivered by a consultant rheumatologist are similar those of the same workshops delivered by an experienced nurse clinical educator (NCE). METHODS The design was a semi-randomized post-test intervention study. The consultant and NCE alternated in presenting eight teaching workshops to four groups of...

OBJECTIVES To explore the views of maternity service users and professionals towards obstetric consultant presence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. DESIGN Semistructured interviews conducted face to face with maternity service users and professionals in March and April 2016. All responses were analysed together (ie, both service users' and professionals' responses) using an inductive thematic a...

Description This course will survey color disciplines relevant to Computer Graphics ranging from color vision to color design. Participants should leave with a clear overview of the world of digital color, plus pointers to in-depth references on a wide range of color topics. For each topic, a brief overview and pointers to further information will be provided. For most topics, I will suggest a ...

Cellular pathologists are doctors who diagnose disease by using a microscope to examine glass slides containing thin sections of human tissue. These slides can be digitised and viewed on a computer, promising benefits in both efficiency and safety. Despite this, uptake of digital pathology for diagnostic work has been slow, with use largely restricted to second opinions, education, and external...

AIMS To undertake a large scale survey of histopathologists in the UK to determine the current infrastructure, training, and attitudes to digital pathology. METHODS A postal questionnaire was sent to 500 consultant histopathologists randomly selected from the membership of the Royal College of Pathologists in the UK. RESULTS There was a response rate of 47%. Sixty four per cent of responden...

An entrepreneur contracts with a consultant, who is protected by limited liability, to supply information about the state of a project prior to investing in it. For a given level of investment, a good project succeeds with higher probability than a bad one. The entrepreneur makes an upfront payment that the consultant can either invest in information acquisition (work) or divert for private ben...

We aimed to determine the reliability, accuracy and the clinical role of digital templating in the pre-operative work-up for total knee replacement. Initially a sample of ten pre-operative digital radiographs were templated by four independent observers to determine the inter- and intra-observer reliability of the process. Digital templating was then performed on the radiographs of 40 consecuti...
