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.
The worldâs largest wind turbine is now the Enercon E-126. This turbine has a rotor diameter of 126 meters (413 feet). The E-126 is a more sophisticated version of the E-112, formerly the worldâs largest wind turbine and rated at 6 megawatts. This new turbine is officially rated at 6 megawatts too, but will most likely produce 7+ megawatts (or 20 million kilowatt hours per year).
