Dynamic Power Coordination for Load Reduction in Dispatchable Wind Power Plants

In a dispatchable wind power plant, turbines are free to continuously vary their power production as long as the sum of their productions meets the total power demand. Previous research has shown that this freedom can be used to reduce structural loads by allowing turbines in the plant to coordinate their power. This paper explains the mechanisms that make power coordination useful for reducing st

Validity of an Index of Self-reported Walking for Balance and Falls in Elderly Women

We have examined concurrent and prospective validity of an index of self-reported walking (RW) of 307 home-dwelling women aged 75 years and above, of whom 155 in 1 year had in all 308 falls of which 13% resulting in fractures.

Media messages are also multimodal in the sense that they contain delimited parts of text (articles, headlines, briefs, lists o
