Wind turbines require methods to predict the power produced as inflow conditions change. We compare the standard method of binning with a turbulence renormalization method and a machine learning approach using a data set derived from simulations. The method of binning is unable to cope with changes in turbulence; the turbulence renormalization method cannot account for changes in shear other th...

background:oral cavity provides variety of surfaces for bacterial attachment and colonization. these bacteria can enter the circulatory system of the human body and become pathogenic. thus chronic oral inflammations are regarded as a potent risk factor for systemic pathologies. according to literature classic risk factors only can explain half to two thirds of cardiovascular diseases and is bel...

In todays heterogenous multimedia ATM networks, there are multiple network managers, multiple traffic types and every user exploits the network resources according to availability, performance and cost. Thus, there are many decision-makers competing each other, and each one tries to achieve the best for his own good. In order a decision-maker to take the best decisions, he should have accurate ...

Volume infusions are one of the commonest clinical interventions in critically ill patients yet the relationship of volume to cardiac output is not well understood. Blood volume has a stressed and unstressed component but only the stressed component determines flow. It is usually about 30 % of total volume. Stressed volume is relatively constant under steady state conditions. It creates an elas...

Ancient civilizations may have dispersed or collapsed under extreme dry conditions. There are indications that the same may hold for modern societies. However, hydroclimatic change cannot be the sole predictor of the fate of contemporary societies in water-scarce regions. This paper focuses on technological change as a factor that may ameliorate the effects of increasing water scarcity and as s...
