To find out the presence of asymptomatic pulmonary hypertension by 2D ECHO who have metabolic syndrome WHO diagnostic criteria (presence insulin resistance plus any following two criteria, namely hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL, BMI >30 mg/kgm2, urinary albumin: creatinine ratio > 30 mg/dl) and obstructive sleep apnoea done polysomnography. The secondary objective is to assess diabe...

Voltage sags and voltage interruptions are huge power quality problems for many industries. Voltage sags cause apart from eventual tripping, large torque peaks, which may cause damage to the shaft or equipment connected to the shaft. This paper illustrates how the stator flux in a synchronous machine changes during voltage sags. These changes result in torque peaks. An analytical time dependent...

Abstract. Past efforts to synthesize and quantify the magnitude change in carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes terrestrial ecosystems across rapidly warming Arctic–boreal zone (ABZ) have provided valuable information but were limited their geographical temporal coverage. Furthermore, these been based on data aggregated over varying time periods, often with only minimal site ancillary data, thus limiting...

Vimalananda et al. (1) report antidepressant use, regardless of severity of depressive symptoms, to be associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The authors note that “this may represent a direct effect of the medications” (1). We would like to suggest a different interpretation of their results, because in light of previous studies, the antidepressants use–diabetes association might not b...

Abstract Mid-infrared laser polarization spectroscopy (IRPS) has been applied to measure the mole fraction of acetylene in rich premixed laminar C 2 H 4 /Air flat flames at equivalence ratios ( Φ ) 1.7, 2.1, and 2.3, under atmospheric pressure. The detection was conducted by probing ro-vibrational P(19) transition ~ 3.1 μm. total collisional broadening coefficient approximately 0.074 cm −1 atm ...
