    Static Synchronous Compressor (STATCOM) is used in an electrical network consisting of SCIGs driven by wind turbines to control constant voltage and enhance electrical stability in the short term. STATCOM is controlled using PQ control technology with power management as default. Voltage stabilization is essential to achieve continuous operation of wind turbines equipped with a Squirrel Induction Generator (SCIG) during major pipe faults. The program is implemented using MATLAB / SIMULINK. The results show that STATCOM improves power generation in the short term and thus helps the wind turbine generator system continue to operate even in the event of a major pipeline failure.

    Background: The objective of the study was to assess the awareness of P- drug selection among rural general practitioners’s (GP) for common medical conditions.Methods: Fifty general practitioners in Tumakuru district were provided with proformas for selection of P- drugs for mild to moderate hypertension, diabetes, upper respiratory tract infections and acid peptic disease based on safety, affordability, need, and efficacy (SANE criteria).Results: Forty one GP’s responded by completing the proformas. Seventeen of them were aware of the concept of P- drug selection. In hypertension, beta blockers followed by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were most commonly preferred. In diabetes, biguanides followed by sulfonylureas were preferred as oral hypoglycemic agents. Ampicillin, Ciprofloxacin and Cotrimoxazole were the commonly used antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections. Ranitidine and antacids were preferred for acid peptic disease. Affordability followed by efficacy was the deciding criteria for P- drug selection.Conclusions: There is lack of awareness of P- drug selection among many rural GP’s. Therefore, there is necessity to create awareness about P- drug selection through continued medical education for rational use of drugs

    Background: Preterm birth is one of the important causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity in developed countries after congenital malformations. Postponement of delivery plays essential role in preventing such incidences by allowing fetal lung maturity.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted over a period of 20 months among the patients admitted for preterm labour with gestational period between 27 to 36 weeks. After the patients obeyed all the inclusion criteria, they were administered terbutaline 250 µg subcutaneously every 8th hourly followed by 5 mg tablet orally twice daily till contractions ceased. The patients were analysed for gestational period at which they presented with preterm labour contractions, associated risk factors, response to terbutaline, and gestational period at delivery, perinatal complications, neonatal and maternal outcomes. The data obtained were analysed by descriptive analysis.Results: There were 1,678 deliveries during study period, out of which 207 (12%) presented with preterm labour and 20 (~10%) patients received terbutaline. Idiopathic (50%) and vaginal infections (25%) were common causes of preterm labour among the patients who received terbutaline. The labour was prolonged by 3 - 5 days among 8 patients, 7 - 15 days in 9 patients and 15 - 30 days in 3 patients. Common maternal side effects were nausea and tremors. Neonatal outcome was good in most of the cases except in 5 (25%) neonates who required NICU admission but they all recovered well without any morbidity.Conclusions: Administration of terbutaline prolonged labour without any serious maternal complications and better neonatal outcome as 90% of the neonates were born without any complications. Hence, terbutaline can be used as a safe and effective tocolytic agent among patients presenting with preterm labour

    Efficient Algorithm for Handling Dangling Pages Using Hypothetical Node

    Get PDF
    Dangling pages are one of the major drawbacks of page rank algorithm which is used by different search engines to calculate the page rank. The number of these pages increasing with web as the source of knowledge. However search engines are the main tools used in knowledge extraction or Information retrieval from the Web. We proposed an algorithm to handle these pages using a hypothetical node and comparing it with page rank algorithm

    Solitary central osteoma of mandible in a geriatric patient: report and review

    Get PDF
    Solitary central osteomas of jaw are extremely rare lesions with only few previously documented cases. This paper reports a case of large solitary central osteoma involving mandible symphysis- parasymphysis region in an elderly female patient. A brief review of similar cases reported in the literature is also provided in this paper
