BACKGROUND AND METHODS The incidence and prognosis of whiplash injury from motor vehicle collisions may be related to eligibility for compensation for pain and suffering. On January 1, 1995, the tort-compensation system for traffic injuries, which included payments for pain and suffering, in Saskatchewan, Canada, was changed to a no-fault system, which did not include such payments. To determin...

This paper presents a novel transient current differential algorithm for earth fault detection in unearthed (isolated) and compensated neutral medium voltage (MV) networks. The proposed algorithm uses the transient residual currents, which are very sensitive for earth faults detection. The transient values of residual currents are calculated for each feeder in the network and used as an earth f...

ABSTRACTRenewable Energy Sources (RES) are well – defined as energy sources, that are in abundance within the natural surroundings and are much inexhaustible. In addition, hydroelectricity (HE) is a vital part of world renewable energy supply and hydropower remains a bulk source of electricity generation because of its environmental friendliness in nature. Modeling is the analysis of the ...

background : skin cancer is the most common malignancy in the world. thus, the aim of this study was to determine the incidence trend of skin cancer in isfahan province, iran. methods: the present cross-sectional study was conducted using data registered during 2004-2008 in the disease management center and cancer registry system of the ministry of health and medical education. the trend of ski...

The paper is engaged with the framework of designing adaptive fault estimation for linear continuous-time systems with distributed time delay. The Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional principle is enforced by imposing the integral partitioning method and a new equivalent delaydependent design condition for observer-based assessment of faults are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Asy...

Some degree of interest has recently been aroused in the question of the occurrence and incidence of spina bifida. Despite the efforts made by many theorists in the past, its mode of production still remains obscure; it is known' that fundamentally there is a defective formation of the mesodermal tissues surrounding the primitive neural plate, and that the process of chondrification and subsequ...

PS seismic data from the Snøhvit field are compared with modelling to understand effect of azimuthal separation and incidence angle on imaging faults associated horizon discontinuities. In addition, frequency content waves backscattered is analysed. The study area consists a horst structure delimited by northern fault dipping NW oblique E-W survey orientation, southern SSW subparallel survey. D...
