A Descriptive Study of Leucorrhea and Its Etiological and Clinical Aspects
Abstract: Leucorrhea, commonly defined as excessive vaginal discharge, is a prevalent concern among women of reproductive age. It can be broadly classified as physiological or pathological. Physiological leucorrhea is usually linked to normal hormonal fluctuations during puberty, ovulation, pregnancy, or the menstrual cycle and is generally harmless. In contrast, pathological leucorrhea may indicate underlying conditions, such as bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, hormonal disturbances, poor genital hygiene, or, in rare cases, …

Rural electrification through micro-grid design case study
Abstract: We introduce the design and experimental demonstration of a scalable DC micro-grid for rural electrification in the developing regions. The distributed control of the grid voltage is one of the main features of the DC micro-grid architecture, which allows both instantaneous power sharing and a metric for available grid power. A droop-voltage power-sharing scheme is utilized wherein the bus voltage decreases in response to low supply/high demand. Besides that, the …
