Reply to Comments by Kakkar and Dahiya by Chahine, Elias B.

“…Initial reports describing the use of bedaquiline in patients with MDR-TB and extensively drug-resistant TB are promising.3,4 Fortunately, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently issued an interim policy guidance recommending that bedaquiline may be added to a WHO-recommended regimen in adult patients with MDR-TB when an effective regimen containing 4 second-line drugs in addition to pyrazinamide cannot be designed, and when there is documented evidence of resistance to any fluoroquinolone in addition to multidrug resistance.5 Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also issued provisional guidelines recommending that bedaquiline may be used for 24 weeks in adults with laboratory-confirmed pulmonary MDR-TB when an effective regimen cannot otherwise be provided; on a case-by-case basis in children, persons with HIV, pregnant women, persons with extrapulmonary MDR-TB, and patients with comorbidties when effective regimen cannot otherwise be provided; and on a case-by-case basis for durations longer than 24 weeks when an effective regimen cannot be provided.6 Both WHO and CDC emphasize the need for careful monitoring of patients on bedaquiline therapy for safety concerns.5,6 Until further data become available, the authors believe that patients who meet eligible criteria according to current guidelines may benefit from bedaquiline therapy with careful monitoring for potential side effects and drug interactions.…”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
