This work proposes a novel control scheme for a variable speed wind turbine system based on the permanent magnet synchronous generator. Regions II and III for a wind speed profile are considered, hence the control is designed for maximizing the generated power from the wind turbine when the wind speed is below the nominal wind speed, and to saturate the generated power when the wind speed is ab...

Thirty-two light-horse mares were confirmed to be pregnant and assigned to one of four treatments: (1) injected with 250 micrograms of Equimate on day 70 and again on day 77 if abortion had not occurred; (2) injected with 250 micrograms of Equimate on day 70 and every 24 hr until abortion occurred (maximum four injections); (3) injected with 250 micrograms of Equimate on day 70 and every 12 hr ...

After 4 repeated treatrnents of gonadotrophin, 8 beef cattle showed an average of 12.1, 10.1, 12,1 and 8.4 corpora lutea at the lst, 2nd, 3rd and 4th treatments, respectively, However, different dosages of gonadotrophin ranging from 1,600 to 3,5001U of pregnant mare's serum gonadotrephin (PMSG}, were used. The average number of corpora lutea decreased from 12.4, 8,4, 9,8 and 6.0 cluring the lst...

EVER since Dr. Langdon Down in 1866 introduced the term " Mongolism," this group of aments has been the subject of numerous investigations. But so far the cause of Mongolism remains obscure and, in spite of a growing amount of literature, it is impossible to say whether there is a single cause for all cases of Mongolism or whether various etiological factors are to be held responsible. Careful ...

It was thought to be impossible to prolong the pregnancy in a case of uterine rupture in the second trimester. We encountered a case of rupture of the pregnant uterus in early mid-trimester, which we repaired with suture and overlapping of collagen fleece coated with fibrin glue, resulting in pregnancy prolongation until the 34th week. Our case and five previously reported cases were reviewed. ...

UNLABELLED To the best of the authors' knowledge, no previous study has compared the prevalences of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) cervical infection among pregnant and non-pregnant patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with vaginal bleeding. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of these infections in a simultaneously assembled cohort, and to determi...

Aim: To assess the oral health status of pregnant and non-pregnant women in the age group of 18 to 35 years in Mangalore. Materials and Methods: The oral health status of 153 pregnant and 168 non-pregnant women in the designated age group who presented at the outpatient department of a private hospital in Mangalore over a period of 6 months (june 2011-November 2011) was evaluated by various ind...

Article history: Received: 3 Nov 2011 Accepted: 22 July 2012 Available online: 18 Nov 2012 ZJRMS 2013; 15(5): 9-12 Background: 5TButhionine sulfoximine is an agent that reduces intracellular glutathione and anti-oxidant enzymes and by this means is involved in pathology of some disease. Since low glutathione level may affect embryonic development, the aim of the present study is to investigate ...

BACKGROUND The tobacco control community assumes that the most effective interventions are personalized. Nevertheless, little attention is paid to understanding differences between pregnant and non-pregnant European women in terms of the social factors that influence tobacco use and the processes of change used to quit smoking. METHODS The study consecutively enrolled 177 pregnant women who a...
