Aerodynamic, load, flow-visualization, and inflow measurements have been made on a 10-m, three-bladed, downwind, horizontal-axis wind turbine ( HAWT). A video camera mounted on the rotor was used to record night­ time and daytime video images of tufts attached to the low-pressure side of a constant-chord, zero-twist blade. Load measurements were made using strain gages mounted at every 10% of t...

This paper presents a comparison between two approaches to sensor dibration. A c c o r d i to one approach, cnlled explicit, an estimator compares the sensor readiags to reference rendings, auad uses the difference between the two to estimate the calibration parameters. Accordii to the other approach, called implicit, the sensor error is integrated to form a different entity, which is then comp...

Thirty-seven years ago, it was suggested that abscesses could be treated with primary closure rather than by conventional incision and drainage, and that subsequent healing was superior. The result of a survey into the practice and teaching of abscess management in accident and emergency departments shows that, despite apparent satisfaction with the technique, it has not gained widespread accep...

c d i d t s p T l b c bstract. This paper proposes a method of six-color separation sing additional colorants and a quantitative granularity metric to educe the color difference and graininess. In conventional six-color eparation, the use of light magenta and light cyan is generally an ffective way of reducing the visibility of dots in bilevel printing deices, i.e., light magenta and light cyan...

BACKGROUND In the United States, community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged as the predominant cause of skin infections. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and clindamycin are often used as first-line treatment options, but clinical data are lacking. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of outpatients with skin and soft tissue infe...

^ • 1 here is no job tougher—or more T l important—than that of a parent. But I no child ever arrived with an instruct s tion manual. It family or friends are not available, where does one turn for advice and support? In South Orange County, CA, one option is the 3,000-square-foot Family Resource Center in the Mission Viejo Mall. Opened in October 1996, the center is a partnership of Mission Ho...
