The blades of wind turbines are the most important parts in producing power output. In this study, a section of a 660 KW wind turbine blade will be installed in Iran in near future was tested in a wind tunnel. In addition to steady tests, various unsteady tests including the effects of reduced frequency, mean angle of attack, and amplitudes were carried out. The preliminary results show strong ...

Invasive candidiasis is a major source of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. The creation and validation of clinical prediction rules to identify patients at high risk has given clinicians access to advanced management strategies, such as targeted prophylaxis, pre-emptive therapy, and protocolized empirical therapy.
