The purpose of this case study was to determine the therapeutic effect ofShort Wave Diathermy (SWD) in the symptomatic management of chronic Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) pain. Three cases ofchronic PID were referred from the Obstetric and Gynaecology department of Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital (MMSH) and a Private Gynaecology Hospital in Kano, Nigeria, for Physiotherapy. SWD was adm...

Reading comprehension growth trajectories from third to seventh grade were estimated for 99,919 students on a state reading comprehension assessment. We examined whether differences between students in general education (GE) and groups of students identified as exceptional learners were best characterized as stable, widening, or narrowing. The groups included students with disabilities (SWD) fr...

in order to restrain the potential of wind energy, the first step is to determine the wind energy potential. in this study the wind data was used from the three-hour frequency recording of 10-year period (2002-2011). to predict the occurrence probability of each wind speed, the two-parameter weibull function was used. the goodness of fit test by chi-square test showed that the wind speed distri...

In wind farms, individual turbines disturb the wind field by generating wakes that influence other turbines in the farm. From a control point of view, there is an interest in dynamic optimization of the balance between fatigue and production, and an understanding of the relationship between turbines manifested through the wind field is hence required. This paper develops models for this relatio...

Sneddon-Wilkinson disease (SWD), also known as subcorneal pustular dermatosis, is a rare, chronic eruption that is often difficult to treat, particularly in patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate dapsone. Few case reports exist of patients with SWD treated with antitumour necrosis factor-alpha therapy. We report two patients with SWD refractory to numerous treatments, who responded t...

Abstract. Wind as a resource of renewable energy has obtained an important share of the energy market already. Therefore simulation and prediction of wind speeds is essential for both, for engineers and energy traders. In this paper we analyze the surface wind speed data from three prototypic locations: coastal region (Rotterdam), undulating forest landscape few 100 m above sea level(Kassel), ...

The main goal of this paper is to study statistical indices and evaluate AGC indices in power system which has large penetration of the WTGs. Increasing penetration of wind turbine generations, needs to study more about impacts of it on power system frequency control. Frequency control is changed with unbalancing real-time system generation and load . Also wind turbine generations have more flu...

Wind-energy production may be expanded beyond regions with high-average wind speeds (such as the Midwest U.S.A.) to sites with lower-average speeds (such as the Southeast U.S.A.) by locating favorable regional matches between natural wind-speed and energy-demand patterns. A critical component of wind-power evaluation is to incorporate wind-speed dynamics reflecting documented diurnal and season...

In this paper, a missing wind speed data temporal interpolation and extrapolation method in the wind energy industry was investigated. Given that traditional methods have previously ignored part of mixed uncertainty of wind speed, a concrete granular computing method is constructed and a new Measure–Correlate–Predict (MCP) method of wind speed data temporal interpolation and extrapolation consi...
