Efficiency improvements in an industrial steam turbine stage - Part 1

The present work approaches the idea of increasing the efficiency of an industrial steam turbine stage. For this endeavor, an industrial steam turbine stage comprising of prismatic stator and rotor is considered. With the velocity triangles as input, airfoil design is carried out. Firstly, the rotor is redesigned to take care of any incidence issues in the baseline case. In rotor blades, the peak

Using Controlled Active Mass (CAM) to decrease energy demand for cooling

Overheating in summer is a problem in buildings with large glass area and low heat capacity constructive materials. Adding some thermal mass to the building is a way to overcome this problem. A new method is using removable thermal mass. This is called Controlled Active Mass (CAM). The CAM is an extra thermal mass which is placed inside the building to decrease energy demand for cooling and heatin

Systematic Evaluation of Pleiotropy Identifies 6 Further Loci Associated With Coronary Artery Disease

Background Genome-wide association studies have so far identified 56 loci associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Many CAD loci show pleiotropy; that is, they are also associated with other diseases or traits. Objectives This study sought to systematically test if genetic variants identified for non-CAD diseases/traits also associate with CAD and to undertake a comprehensive analysi

A targeted approach to maintenance of tumour response. Clinical and translational studies in metastatic colorectal cancer.

In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy with palliative intent aims at prolonging survival with sustained quality of life. Maintenance of tumour response by a period of less intense treatment maydelay progression and accumulation of unacceptable toxicity. We studied the combination of targeted treatment with the angiogenesis inhibiting antibody bevacizumab (bev) an

High-level system synthesis and optimization of dataflow programs for MPSoCs

The growing complexity of digital signal processing applications make a compelling case the use of high-level design and synthesis methodologies for the implementation on reconfigurable and embedded devices. Past research has shown that raising the level of abstraction of design stages does not necessarily gives penalties in terms of performance or resources. Dataflow programs provide behavioral d

The importance of benthic-pelagic coupling for marine ecosystem functioning in a changing world

Benthic-pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it is crucial to functions from nutrient cycling to energy transfer in food webs. Coastal and estuarine ecosystem structure and function are strongly affected by anthropogenic pressures; however, there are large gaps in our
