The Cost-Effectiveness of Expanding the UK Newborn Bloodspot Screening Programme to Include Five Additional Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Glutaric aciduria type 1, homocystinuria, isovaleric acidaemia, long-chain hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and maple syrup urine disease are all inborn errors of metabolism that can be detected through newborn bloodspot screening.This evaluation was undertaken in 2013 to provide evidence to the UK National Screening Committee for the cost-

Control of an Outer Rotor Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet Generator for Fixed Pitch kW Range Wind Turbine Using Overspeed Flux Weakening Operations

This paper deals with the analysis of the dynamic performance of a generator with a doubly salient exterior rotor excited by permanent magnets inserted in the stator yoke.The electrical generator works at low speed and is devoted to a wind energy conversion system.Indeed, the studied generator is a robust high-torque machine and can be directly cou

Vibroacoustography for the assessment of total hip arthroplasty

OBJECTIVES: This paper proposes imaging with 3-dimensional vibroacoustography for postoperatively assessing the uncovered cup area after total hip arthroplasty as a quantitative criterion to evaluate implant fixation.METHODS: A phantom with a bone-like structure covered by a tissue-mimicking material was used to simulate a total hip arthroplasty ca

Resilience assessment of mobile emergency generator-assisted distribution networks: A stochastic geometry approach

Escalation of extreme weather events represents substantial threat to power system infrastructure.Mobile emergency generators (MEGs) can form part of a flexible restoration strategy against such destructive events.However, with continued expansion of distribution networks, quantification of the impact of MEGs has become increasingly challenging owi
