Characterization of the interaction between wing and closely operating propeller

Scheduled commercial transport volume is continuously growing, representing the global megatrend ""Mobility"". The subsequently higher number of aircrafts requires new and low energy concepts to achieve the European goals for sustainable aviation. Distributed (Electric) Propulsion (DP/DEP) is such new technology which opens up the design space and promises significant increase in overall aircraft efficiency while reducing emissions. A sound and reliable prediction of the aerodynamic effects of DP/DEP and close wing coupling at high-lift based on aerodynamic models and simulation is not yet available. 
The overall objective of CICLOP is to close this gap by providing high fidelity experimental data that allow for a leap in aircraft performance due to efficient synergetic use of DP and wing interaction. The most dominant design parameters, driving the sensitivity of positive as well as adverse aerodynamic effects will be identified and quantified. The results will thus significantly increase the conceptual and pre-design know-how for DEP/DP driven aircraft and allow for off-design performance prediction and sensitivity identification.
Therefore, the CICLOP project members will:
• Build and test a versatile wind tunnel model coupling three propeller sizes of different thrust to a wing of 0.8m chord including a high-lift flap, droop-nose a deflectable spoiler.
• Identify aerodynamic interactions mechanism up to flow separations by the means of local static pressure measurement combined with oil flow visualization, hot-film techniques and PSP.
• Assess the design parameters for propeller design and propeller to wing coupling.
• Strengthen the competitiveness of the EU industry and supply in the field of new technologies for regional aircraft, following REG IADP activities for preliminary studies on hybrid/electrical regional aircraft configurations.
The CICLOP total grant request is 847.688€ and will be conducted within 24 months.
Prevalence and Causes of Bilateral Blindness and Visual Impairment among Institutionalized Elderly People in Pamplona, Spain

To estimate the prevalence and causes of bilateral blindness and visual impairment in an urban institutionalized population aged 65 years and older.A total of 392 nursing home residents completed a standardized eye examination, including measurement of visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure, lens opacity grading, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and photography of the macular area. The major causes of vision loss identified for all participants were blindness and visual impairment.The average subject age was 82 years (65-97); women outnumbered men 263 to 129. The prevalence of bilateral blindness (VA > or =1.0 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) was 14.9% (43/288); the prevalence of visual impairment (VA > or =0.5 and 1.0 logMAR) was 31.9% (92/288). Blindness and visual impairment increased significantly with age (p<0.05), odds ratio (OR) 1.047 and 1.088, respectively. Cataract was the most common cause of bilateral blindness and visual impairment (27.9% and 44.6%, respectively) followed by pathologic myopia (23.3%) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (20.9%) for blindness, and by AMD (27.2%) and pathologic myopia (12%) for visual impairment. Fifty percent of subjects with visual loss had the potential for improved vision with medical or surgical intervention.Although the prevalences were high, these data are important since it is difficult for epidemiologic studies to include aged, institutionalized individuals, although their numbers are increasing. Recognition of the predominant causes of visual loss dependent on age is fundamental for early diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases. Many cases of low vision can be treated with appropriate ophthalmologic care.

Search for Secure Random 8-bit Generator by Modular Approach of Statistical Test

Random key bit generators are used in statistically secured stream ciphers. In stream ciphers pseudorandom key bits are XORed with non-random text bits to generate random cipher bits. In practice, it is impossible to get a Random Bit Generator (RBG) that can be used for encryption as well as for decryption. The solution is to search for a suitable Pseudo Random Bit Generator (PRBG). In this paper, a comparative study of randomness of RC4 is made with that of six set of pseudorandom 8-bit sequences generated by introducing some variations in BBS and PM algorithms. In RC4, the given key randomizes an 8-bit identity S-Box in 256 rounds. The BBS and PM require an initial seed to be given as key. In the study, one algorithm generates 167800 pseudorandom 8-bit key sequences for a given key. For each of the seven sets, 300 such sequences are generated using 300 different given keys. The randomness of 300 sequences for each set are tested using three test modules. General Terms Pseudo Random Bit Generator (PRBG), Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG), Statistical Randomness Test.
Use of gravimetry in detailed geophysical prospection of potential geothermal energy exploitation sites: Case studies in the Czech Republic

Methodological aspects of gravity data processing and interpretation for assessing the possibility of exploiting geothermal energy for electricity production are presented. Gravimetry is one of the most economical and most effective geophysical methods for exploration of deep geologic structures. Unfortunately the gravity inversion ambiguity problem introduces the necessity of constraining gravity models by other independent data. The procedures interpreting 2D gravity models constrained by the results of an integration of other suitable geophysical methods are described in three case studies in the Czech Republic. Gravity, reflection and refraction seismics, magnetometry, resistivity, and vertical electric sounding data were collected along profiles at each locality. Two-dimensional gravity models based on complete Bouguer anomalies were constructed taking into account the results of processing and interpretation of other geophysical data. Relevant factors influencing the potential for geothermal energy exploitation were evaluated from the interpreted geophysical models. Promising zones suitable for future exploration were established at each locality. The most important structures for locating geothermal production and injection drills are deep tectonic fault zones which can freely support fluid flow. The presented examples show that the gravity anomalies caused by fracture zones can be significant enough to unambiguously interpret and evaluate their importance in terms of hydrological permeability. In addition, the presented case histories demonstrate that two-dimensional geophysical surveys can effectively be used to reduce exploration costs in geothermal projects.
Reliability of TSV interconnects: Thermal shock and mechanical properties

With the trend of electronic products towards miniaturization and multi-function, integrated circuit (IC) is facing severer challenges in reducing package size, expediting responses and providing additional functionalities. 3-dimensions (3D) IC based on Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) has nowadays become the most promising technology to overcome the obstacles, as the vertical stack of chips using TSV can satisfy the need of higher bandwidths and smaller footprints. Continuous development of TSVs leads to a persisting demand for their reliability investigations, which of course include the thermal shock test. It is commonly accepted that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between Cu-TSV and Si-chip can result in residual stresses in each material and interfacial shear stresses near the extremities of the via during a thermal excursion, therefore, it is necessary to study the effects of thermal shock on TSVs. In this paper, TSV samples are exposed to thermal shock for different cycles. After thermal shock, microstructure of TSV is analyzed. The intrusion of Cu under low cycle, which is distinct from results of other studies, has been found. In addition, hardness of TSV is tested.
HAND-HELD APPLIANCE

The present application relates to a hand-held appliance comprising a housing including a reservoir to contain water and a tube to convey water from the reservoir for delivery to a surface. The tube extends into the reservoir and comprises multiple tube inlets spaced from each other within the reservoir so that, when the reservoir contains water, a tube inlet is submerged irrespective of the orientation of the housing. In one embodiment, the tube inlet comprises a separate valve assembly associated with each tube inlet so that a valve assembly associated with a submerged tube inlet opens to allow flow of water through that tube inlet and a valve assembly associated with a non-submerged tube inlet closes to prevent the flow of air through said non-submerged tube inlet.In an alternate embodiment, the appliance may be provided with a single valve member that allows water to flow through the valve assembly via a first opening, whilst also preventing the flow of air through the valve assembly through a second opening.
The biogeochemical evolution of the Coorong during the mid- to late Holocene: An elemental, isotopic and biomarker perspective

Since the mid-1990s the Coorong, a 130-km-long coastal wetland of international importance in southeastern South Australia, has undergone serious decline due largely to prolonged drought and reduced inflows of surface and ground water from its hinterland. Tenuously connected to the ocean at its northern extremity, it is effectively separated into two lagoons by a narrow channel at its mid-point. The southern part is now permanently hypersaline. Here we report the results of an attempt to track the biogeochemical status of the estuary over the last 5000 years employing a consortium of elemental, isotopic and biomarker parameters. The sediment samples analysed came from two cores, each 6–7 m in length, retrieved from sites located halfway along the present-day northern and southern lagoons. The sediments at the southern locality are richer in total organic carbon and total nitrogen than those in the northern core reflecting higher net deposition of organic matter (OM) and nutrients in the southern lagoon. Comparison of the d 13 Corg and d 15 N profiles of the two cores reveals that the lower reaches of the Coorong have always been a restricted, O2 depleted water body that is both more saline and prone to more intensive denitrification of NO � 3 (aq) than the northern lagoon. Prominent among the aliphatic hydrocarbons preserved in the sediments of the southern lagoon are the C20 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI), 2,6,10-trimethyl-7(3-methylbutyl)-dodecane, a putative marker of epiphytic diatoms, and C15–C35 n-alkanes with a marked odd/even predominance in the C21+ range. These and other biomarkers are consistent with OM derived from a mixed population of algae, cyanobacteria and other eubacteria. 13 C NMR spectra confirm that this OM is largely algal derived, but with a significant contribution from the seagrass Ruppia megacarpa (and possibly other aquatic macrophytes), particularly in pre-European sediments. The C isotopic signature of the HBI alkane is consistently heavier than those of the C23 ,C 25 ,C 27 and C29 n-alkanes (presumably from planktonic chlorophytes ± aquatic metaphytes), which in turn are heavier than the coexisting even-carbon-numbered homologues of likely bacterial origin. With decreasing age these biomarker alkanes display an overall increased depletion in 13 C and enrichment in D, trends that have accelerated over recent decades as the south lagoon has become progressively more hypersaline and ecologically impoverished. However, coeval negative excursions in the dD profiles of the epiphyte marker and n-alkanes, along with coincident diatom inferred reductions in palaeosalinity, together highlight a series of hitherto unrecognised freshening events attributable to enhanced inflow of surface runoff and shallow groundwater.

Leadership Coaching: Smarter Than Cliff Notes

Excited, energized, motivated, eager, enthusiastic—all words to describe how a nurse manager or director feels about the opportunity to advance or transition into a new leadership role. Conversely, there can be moments of angst, indecision, and uncertainty as unknown situations call for untried solutions. And once the onboarding process and close connection with a formal preceptor is concluded, new leaders may feel uncertain about next steps in their role transitioning process. Often new managers question their decisions, but there are limited trusted colleagues or mentors to assist in difficult problem-solving circumstances. These are the times when nurse executives seek additional support and engage outside assistance in order to ensure the new leader is successful. In walks the professional coach, a seasoned nurse leader who can assist with the next stage of essential role transitioning.

Genetic and lifestyle regulators of cardiometabolic risk in individuals gaining weight

The current obesity pandemic is a major threat to public health systems worldwide. The majority of obesity-related health care costs are due to cardiometabolic impairments such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, which increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, many obese individuals seem resistant to cardiometabolic complications, the “metabolically healthy obese (MHO)”, while some normal weight individuals suffer from comorbidities similar to the obese. Genetic mechanisms may partly explain this paradox. Recent genome-wide studies have identified multiple genetic loci associated with increased overall body fat and subcutaneous fat deposition but lower cardiometabolic risk. Vice versa, the fat-decreasing alleles at these loci are associated with higher cardiometabolic risk. Some lifestyle factors, such as higher physical activity and smoking, are associated with lower body fat but show directionally opposite effects on cardiometabolic risk. At present, it remains unclear whether genetic predisposition to higher subcutaneous fat storage or healthy lifestyle behaviors may uncouple long-term weight gain from cardiometabolic risk during adulthood. Thus, the primary aim of the present project is to examine whether genetic and lifestyle factors abolish the impact of long-term weight gain on cardiometabolic risk by meta-analyses of five prospective cohorts with repeated measures of body weight and cardiometabolic traits. I will also examine whether these factors predict a MHO status in middle-age and the maintenance of such status over time. My results will provide new biological insights and may enable targeted lifestyle interventions against obesity-related cardiometabolic impairments. Moreover, the project will greatly advance my career by allowing me to learn highly valuable research skills in the area of genetic epidemiology, complementing my previous expertise in the field of cardiovascular epidemiology.
METHOD OF RECYCLING ALUMINUM DROSS

An improved method is disclosed for processing aluminum dross containing fluxing salts to provide a fired inorganic or ceramic product wherein the dross is processed to remove the fluxing salts therefrom, and a non-metallic product is recovered. The dross is processed through a crusher (10) and the reduced fragments (10(a)) are classified by passing over a screen (12). A portion of the classified material is fed into a digester (14) and a wet screen (16) is used to screen the digested material. A portion of the screened material is sent to a dryer (18), passed through a dry screen (20) and fed to a furnace (22). The improved process comprises mixing the non-metallic product with water and alkali matrials to form a slurry and adding acid to neutralize the slurry. The slurry is adjusted by adding one of silica and alumina and the slurry is heated to form a fired product (fig. 2).

Designing Vocational Education (Vocational skill) Program

Vocational education is an essential component of strategies to reduce and prevent child labor. Many children do not see the relevance of education to their lives hence drop out of school. In many cases, the decision not to send a child to school is taken by the parents, who would rather have their children enter the workplace as they do not see how education can help to put bread on the table. Vocational education programs can prevent children from ending up in situations of child labor by ensuring that trainees master skills and benefit from basic education classes that include training in health, safety, and their rights. Some programs also offer life-skills training to promote the beneficiaries’ personal and social development
