Background and Objectives: Virtual inertia control, as a component of a virtual synchronous generator, is used for the implementation of synchronous generator behaviour in microgrids. In microgrids that include high-capacity distributed generation resources, in addition to virtual inertia, virtual damping can also lead to improvement of frequency stability of the microgrid. The purpose of the c...

Attitude control of spacecraft remains a challenging nonlinear control problem of intense practical and intellectual importance. Since rotational motion evolves on the set of proper orthogonal matrices, continuous control must account for the presence of multiple equilibria, whereas discontinuous control laws based on quaternions and alternative parameterizations of the rotation matrices lead t...

in this paper a new algorithm based on phasor measurements for estimating the thévenin equivalent (te) and system inertia constant is proposed. the method estimates the network te seen from a generator terminal and equivalent system inertia constant by means of phasor data that is available at phasor data concentrator (pdc) center. it is shown that the parameters of the te could be estimated at...

Oxytocin is the first-line agent in the prevention and treatment of uterine atony and maintenance of uterine tone. Since there are several different practices related to the use of oxytocin during caesarean sections, we would like to address the latest information and evidence for rational oxytocin use.

Objective: To evaluate the management process and the guidelines for management of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony at the General Hospital Vienna, Medical University Vienna. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on all 24 cases of postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony with an estimated blood loss of more than 800 mL, in which standardized guidelines were...

The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...

in which certain therapies have adequate, even overwhelming if not unequivocal, evidence of effectiveness.5 Clinical inertia occurs, for example, when the patient fails to attain a biomarker goal (e.g., blood pressure less than 140/90 millimeters of mercury [mm Hg]) due at least in part to failure to intensify pharmacotherapy through upward dosing and/or addition of drugs to the therapeutic reg...
