Dinoprostone is available as Prepidil and Cervidil. Prepidil is a gel thatâs rubbed onto the mucous membranes of the cervix with an applicator. Cervidil is a wafer-like insert thatâs positioned in the top of the vagina. Once the gel or insert is in place, it slowly releases prostaglandins into the nearby tissues. Prepidil and Cervidil usually take six to 12 hours to take full effect, after which the cervix is re-evaluated to see if labor can be induced. If your cervix still hasnât ripened, your doctor may give you another dose of medication.
Turbines have a typical lifespan of around 20-25 years, during which time some maintenance may be required. Should a developer wish to extend the lifetime of the development, then a new planning application would be required.
How much of the time do wind turbines produce electricity? A modern wind turbine produces electricity 70-85% of the time, but it generates different outputs dependent on wind speed. Over the course of a year, it will generate about 30% of the theoretical maximum output. This is known as its load factor. The load factor of conventional power stations is on average 50%.
