The diagnosis of IDCS can rarely be entertained on clinical information alone. Microscopically, there is a wide spectrum of features. Thus, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy are crucial in making the diagnosis. The differential diagnosis includes inflammatory pseudotumour, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, true histiocytic lymphoma, malignant Langerhans cell histiocytosis, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, melanoma, and a range of sarcomas. IDCS displays aggressive behaviour and approximately half of the patients die of the disease.
Wind power installations are on the increase, globally and in South Africa. Several research areas are affected by this uptake of wind energy systems, which include wind generator performance and power system stability studies. Dimensional analysis is a very powerful tool. It allows machines and systems to be down-scaled in order to get a preliminary result before constructing a prototype by establishing laws of similitude between the original and its model. Studies using micromachines, a more accurate means of generator simulation, can be used to investigate issues of grid integration and dynamic performance of wind systems. Scaling methodologies are reviewed for use of the techniques for developing micromachines for wind generators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
