With the significant decrease in natural gas prices in many parts of the world, the employment of gas turbine (GT) units has increased steadily in recent years. The ever-increasing deployment of GT units is strengthening the interconnections between electric power and natural gas systems, which could provide a higher level of operational flexibility and reliability. As a result, the planning an...

INTRODUCTION Stroke frequently results in balance disorders, leading to lower levels of activity and a diminution in autonomy. Current physical therapies (PT) aiming to reduce postural imbalance have shown a large variety of effects with low levels of evidence. The objectives are to determine the efficiency of PT in recovering from postural imbalance in patients after a stroke and to assess whi...

Background: Diet impacts both human and environmental health must be designed to optimize the training performance of athletes. The aim this study was quantify effect dietary advice (DA) on food intake wheelchair basketball athletes (WBA) impact longitudinally. Methods: DA were provided WBA Italian national team (DAM-T1). Nutritional assessment evaluation diet performed two months (DAM-T2) one ...

OBJECTIVES Feedback in workplace-based clinical settings often relies on expert trainers' judgements of directly observed trainee performance. There is ample literature on effective feedback, but in practice trainees in workplace-based training are not regularly observed. We aimed to examine external conditions that impact feedback in observational workplace-based assessment (WBA). METHODS In...

Engaging surgical residents and faculty with workplace-based assessment (WBA) are challenging. Gamification has helped engage trainees simulation online curricula but not been used to encourage engagement assessment. We explore the impact of gamification on WBA using Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning (SIMPL) app. General surgery residency programs were divided into two interve...

Abstract. We perform a Why-Because Analysis (WBA) starting from the information in the Executive Summary of the U.S. DoD Aircraft Accident Investigation Board report on the shootdown of two U.S. Army Black Hawk transport helicopters by U.S.A.F. F-15 fighter aircraft over Northern Iraq on 14 April 1994, during Operation Provide Comfort. We compare with the effort of Snook to perform a similar an...

In this study, carbon based ashes were produced by the wooden biomass pyro-gasification plant CMD ECO20. ECO20 is a micro-scale combined heat and power system powered with biomass, under development Italian company Costruzioni Motori Diesel (C.M.D) S.p.A. It an integrated combining downdraft gasifier, spark ignition internal combustion engine, electric generator syngas cleaning devices, it able...

Coronary angiography demonstrated severe single-vessel coronary disease and a 3×12 mm bare metal stent placed in the right coronary artery. She had a history of short bowel syndrome following em...

Biological effects due to RF whole-body exposure can be caused by core temperature rise. According to safety guidelines, therefore, whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) is being used as a metric for human protection. The threshold level causing thermal effects was determined based on animal experimental results. In order to investigate the relationship between WBA-SAR and core...
