We asked 12 right-brain-damaged patients (6 with left neglect signs and 6 without left neglect signs) to perform a straight ahead pointing task and a visual detection task with lateralized motor response, in order to investigate the relationship between the position of the egocentric reference and response time and accuracy in producing lateralized arm movements. Results showed that there was n...

Abstract. Turbulent and neoclassical transport in a reference hybrid-mode ITER plasmas is studied using a hierarchy of modeling tools. Transport from ITG/TEM instability is studied with nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations and compared with results from quasilinear fluid and gyro-Landau fluid models. Simulations include full kinetic ion and electron dynamics, although a pure-D mixture is assumed f...

This paper proposes an algorithm for direct flux and torque controlled three phase induction motor drive systems. This method is based on control of slip speed and decoupled between amplitude and angle of reference stator flux for determining required stator voltage vector. Within the given sampling time, flux as well as torque errors are controlled by stator voltage vector which is evaluated f...

the dried fruit of terminalia chebula is widely used for its laxative properties. the objective of the present study was to examine the flowability and compressibility of terminalia chebula fruit powder, subsequently developing its tablet formulations by utilizing wet granulation and direct compression technology. initial studies on flowability and compressibility revealed that the fruit powder...

The doubly-fed generators (DFIG) have clear superiority for the applications of large capacity and limited-range speed control case due to the partially rated inverter, lower cost and high reliability. These characteristics enable the doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine to have vast applications in wind-driven generation.In this paper Combined Vector and direct power control (CVDPC) strate...

A candidate reference method is described for coupled sodium-water determination based on ion-exchange sodium separation from the serum matrix followed by gravimetry as Na2SO4, and serum water determination by means of microwave evaporation. For sera with normal sodium and water contents, the mean relative standard deviation is 0.6% (0.8 mmol/l). Mean inaccuracy for the coupled sodium-water det...

The existing failure criteria to evaluate discontinuous rocks are predominatly based on the relations between principal stresses at failure. None of the criteria has a direct reference to the magnitude of deformation as a major parameter in rock Several reasons are identified indicating that the selection of peak stress as a major parameter, which is obtained through the evaluation of a failure...

In order to have reliable reference ranges and to minimize the effects of variables such as the procedure of specimen collection, geographical location, dietary habits, life style and possible errors during the performance of tests, it  is recommended that each medical laboratory establish it's own reference values. Idealy, the reference ranges Should be determined by analysis of specimens from...
