A 37-year-old heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning mechanic developed respiratory, musculoskeletal, and central nervous system symptoms associated with a variety of odorous environmental chemicals. Organic disease was not evident, but the patient was distressed by these symptoms and was at risk for becoming disabled by them. His symptoms fit broadly into the condition recognized as multip...

Abstract Cardio-mechanic models show substantial promise for improving personalised diagnosis and disease risk prediction. However, estimating the constitutive parameters from strains extracted in vivo cardiac magnetic resonance scans can be challenging. The reason is that circumferential strains, which are comparatively easy to extract, not sufficiently informative uniquely estimate all parame...

The research aimed to investigate the students’ ability and explore difficulties in writing recount text. This used a case study, design was presented using descriptive qualitative method. subject of study first year students MA NW Nabi’ Nubu’ Kekait which consists 25 students. Writing test interview were instrument research. result showed that mean score 69.92. It means text poor. There three ...

This paper introduces issues about a methodology for the design of serious games that help players/learners understand their decisionmaking process. First, we discuss the development of a video game system based on a role-switching mechanic where the player becomes the game leader of the experience. Then, we introduce game mechanics designed to induce a specific behavior, overconfidence, that h...

The main parameters and methods influencing the removal of Gentian Violet (GV) dye from aqueous media were investigated using a stachy plant in this study. surface was determined FTIR spectra. Adsorption is influenced by adsorbent's characteristic groups. research took into account usual conditions for GV adsorption plant, such as impact contact time. Mass dosage , after 0.3 g amount adsorbed d...

In this paper, a model of a variable speed wind turbine using a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is presented and the control schemes are proposed. The model presents the aerodynamic part of the wind turbine, the mechanic and the electric parts. Simulations have been conducted with Matlab/Simulink to validate the model and the proposed control schemes.
