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 energy do wind turbines produce? Every wind turbine has a range of wind speeds, typically around 30 to 55 mph, in which it will produce at its rated, or maximum, capacity. At slower wind speeds, the production falls off dramatically. If the wind speed decreases by half, power production decreases by a factor of eight. On average, therefore, wind turbines do not generate near their capacity. Industry estimates project an annual output of 30-40%, but real-world experience shows that annual outputs of 15-30% of capacity are more typical.
