Engine mounting system (ems) for ground test turboprop engine demonstrator

In aircraft, one of the primary sources of vibration is the power plant. Engine vibration could lead to unnecessary expenses for replacing damaged components, cabin noise, crew and passenger discomfort, and structural fatigue. Hutchinson is the major supplier of aircraft main Power plant and APU Vibration Isolation Systems.

The “Engine Vibration Isolation Systems – EVIS” project main objective is to achieve improved engine mounting system in terms of technology and associated process enabling higher level of comfort for passengers. Throughout all the proposed developments a dedicated Cost and weight reduction optimization approach will be implemented so as to enable improved performances in comparison to existing engine mounting system.

So as to provide an innovative, lightweight, low-cost EVIS for the related TP Demonstrator engine, Hutchinson proposes to carry out the expected work for two distinctive concepts:
• Concept 1: “Cost efficiency concept” based on the adaptation of existing engine mounts,
• Concept 2: “Full technical concept” based on specifically developed engine mounts.

Both Concepts will be investigated through the same usual V-shape approach for “systems integration” as detailed below:
• Establish technical specifications of the engine mounts
• Use and adapt/tune if necessary existing engine mounts for the first delivery
• Analyze first test campaign results to optimize the EVIS design
• Manufacture and deliver optimized EVIS
• Analyze second test campaign results

Hutchinson will then fully contribute through the above whole process to assist the Topic in evaluating and selecting the most efficient and effective engine suspension system for the TP Demonstrator engine.
In vitro investigation of friction under edge-loading conditions for ceramic-on-ceramic total hip prosthesis

Edge-loading generates higher wear rates in ceramic-on-ceramic total hip prosthesis (THP). To investigate the friction coefficient (FC) in these conditions, three alumina ceramic (Biolox Forte) 32 mm-diameter components were tested using a hip friction simulator. The cup was positioned with a 75° abduction angle to achieve edge-loading conditions. The motion was first applied along the edge and then across the edge of the cup. First, tests were conducted under lubricated conditions with 25% bovine serum. Next, to simulate an extremely high contact pressure, the tests were run with the addition of a third body alumina ceramic chip inserted between the edge of the cup and the head. Engineering blue was used to analyze the contact area. Reference values were determined using a 0° cup abduction angle. Edge loading was achieved. The FC increased by three- to sixfold when the motion was applied along the edge, and by 70% when the motion was applied across the edge. However, the FC value was still low (about 0.1), which is similar to metal-on-metal THP. With the third body alumina ceramic particle inserted, the FC was 26 times higher than in the ideal conditions and intermittent squeaking occurred. High cup abduction angles may generate edge-loading and an increase in the friction coefficient for ceramic THP. © 2010 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Patterns of Change in Uterine Artery Doppler Studies Between 20 and 24 Weeks of Gestation and Pregnancy Outcomes

OBJECTIVES: To describe changes in mean uterine artery resistance index and bilateral notches between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation in healthy nulliparous women and to relate these changes to pregnancy outcome. METHODS: A total of 2,189 nulliparous participants in the Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints study had pregnancy outcomes compared between four uterine artery Doppler groups: normal at 20 and 24 weeks of gestation (group 1), normal at 20 weeks and abnormal at 24 weeks (group 2), abnormal at 20 weeks and normal at 24 weeks (group 3), and abnormal at both 20 and 24 weeks (group 4). Abnormal uterine Doppler was defined as 1) mean resistance index greater than the 90th centile; 2) bilateral notches; and 3) a combination of 1, 2, or both. The main outcomes were preeclampsia and small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (less than the 10th customized centile). RESULTS: Preeclampsia developed in 116 (5.3%) women, and 223 (10.2%) delivered SGA neonates. With abnormal Doppler defined as mean resistance index greater than the 90th centile, the rate of SGA increased across Doppler groups: group 1, 156 (8.4%); group 2, 13 (11%); group 3, 25 (19.5%); and group 4, 29 (35.4%) (P<.001). The rate of SGA was higher in group 3 compared with group 1. Preeclampsia differed among groups 1 (85 [4.6%]), 2 (9 [7.6%], 3 (7 [5.5%]), and 4 (15 [18.3%]) (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Pregnancy outcomes in women with abnormal uterine artery Doppler results at either 20 or 24 weeks were intermediate between those with normal or abnormal results at both time points. If overall test performance could be enhanced by the addition of clinical data, biomarkers, or both, we would recommend that 20 weeks is the most appropriate gestation in the second trimester to perform uterine artery Doppler studies.

Appealing character design for embodied virtual reality

The ForEVR project is focused on delivering a radically improved interaction with another user or virtual character in immersive Embodied Virtual Reality (EVR). EVR offers the possibility of interacting with another in a computer-generated world by using virtual humans, and the interaction can closely resemble real-life, physical interaction. Embodied virtual interaction creates a powerful illusion of presence with another and is a valuable candidate for the alternative to physical meetings. A strikingly overlooked problem of such interactive systems is the representation of humans in virtual environments. Current designs are driven by commercial models, which are frequently subjected to bias and are not appropriate for non-entertainment applications. On the other hand, characters which appear almost human can cause discomfort and negative evaluation from the users. Since virtual reality can induce realistic responses in people, inappropriate character representations can have psychologically damaging effects on the users. The ForEVR project proposes a radical approach to solving the problem of character design by focusing on the appeal of character motion to compensate for the issues created by the realistic appearance. It will employ rigorous methods to define, implement and evaluate motion processing techniques for realistic characters in order to improve their overall appeal, while being suitable for non-entertainment applications. Users’ response to the characters will be evaluated using standard measures from psychology and novel measures of EVR. The ForEVR project joins interdisciplinary (psychology/computer graphics) and involves one of the foremost research institutes with the research team specializing in creating behavior for autonomous virtual humans, while collaborating with an industry partner who is developing EVR for mental health and rehabilitation applications. This project will help me achieve academic independence needed for a tenure position.
Co2 capture from cement production

The European cement industry has committed itself to contributing to climate protection measures and therefore to curbing its CO2 emissions. CO2 capture technologies, although an essential part of all CO2 reduction scenarios, are not yet ready for large-scale deployment in the cement industry. Hence, the primary objective of CEMCAP is
To prepare the ground for large-scale implementation of CO2 capture in the European cement industry 
To achieve this objective, CEMCAP will

- Leverage to TRL  6 for cement plants the oxyfuel capture technology and three fundamentally different post combustion capture technologies, all of them with a targeted capture rate of 90%.
- Identify the CO2 capture technologies with the greatest potential to be retrofitted to existing cement plants in a cost- and resource-effective manner, maintaining product quality and environmental compatibility.  
- Formulate a techno-economic decision-basis for CO2 capture implementation in the cement industry, where the current uncertainty regarding CO2 capture cost is reduced by at least 50%.
For successful large-scale deployment of CO2 capture in the cement industry, technologies must be developed beyond the current state of the art. In order to bring the most high-potential retrofittable CO2 capture technologies to a higher TRL level and closer to implementation, CEMCAP will 

- Describe the routes for the development required to close technology gaps for CO2 capture from cement and assist technology suppliers along the related innovation chains.

- Identify and follow up minimum five potential innovations springing from CEMCAP research.

Technologies suitable for CO2 capture retrofit are focused on in CEMCAP, because cement plants typically have a lifetime of as long as 30-50 years. However, the results from CEMCAP will enable looking beyond this horizon. Therefore, CEMCAP will 

- Create pathways for the low to near-zero CO2 emission cement production of the future.
Sensitivity of BCS solutions to different odd–even staggering finite-difference formulas

The present work studies the effect of odd–even staggering (OES) value of nuclear masses on the solution of the BCS set of equations. Three finite-difference formulas for the OES are used. First, a comparison between the three different formulas applied to even–even Ti, Fe, Ge, Mo, Te and Sm isotopic chains is introduced. The effect of the three formulas on the outputs of the BCS equations is then investigated. The comparison between the three different formulas as well as their effect on some of the BCS outputs is clearly significant. One of the BCS output parameters, the valence shell occupancy, is compared with the corresponding available experimental values.
ANTIBODY FRAGMENTS AGAINST THE INSULIN RECEPTOR AND USES THEREOF TO TREAT HYPOGLYCEMIA

Parasites in antarctic krill: diversity, distribution & impact

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, play essential roles in the Southern Ocean. These small pelagic crustaceans are prey for most of the region’s birds, mammals, and fish, as well as influencing the carbon cycle through export to the deep sea. Additionally, krill are the target of a currently expanding commercial fishery. Sustainably managing Antarctic krill requires an understanding of the factors influencing their growth, reproduction and mortality. One such factor which remains very poorly known is the role of parasites. My recent research using new molecular tools has shown a much higher than expected diversity and prevalence of parasite infections in krill. I observed DNA sequences of a broad variety of parasites (fungi, peronosporomycetes, apicomplexa, nematodes, and ciliates) within the guts of krill, with over 10% of krill individuals containing parasite DNA. This MSCA action will build on those preliminary results – applying a combination of novel molecular approaches, traditional incubation experiments, and mathematical modelling to address three key questions: 1) What eukaryotic parasites and symbionts are found in E. superba? 2) How are parasites distributed in geographic and environmental space? and 3) What impact do parasites have on E. superba secondary production? To address these broad questions this project brings together research expertise from Australia (Australian Antarctic Division), Europe (British Antarctic Survey and the University of Stirling), and the Americas (National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico), as well as establishing new intersectoral collaborations with fisheries (Association of Responsible Krill Harvesting Companies) and tourism (Hurtigruten). The results of this research will be communicated to national and international krill fisheries management organizations – allowing the role of parasites to be taken into account to improve the sustainability of management for this key species.
Heart Failure Associated with Sunitinib: Lessons Learned from Animal Models

Sunitinib is a highly potent, multitargeted anticancer agent. However, there is growing clinical evidence that sunitinib induces cardiac dysfunction. Disruption of multiple signaling pathways, which are important in the maintenance of adult cardiac function, is likely to result in cardiovascular toxicity. Basic and translational evidence implicates a potential role for specific growth factor signaling pathways. This review discusses the relevant translational data from animal models of heart failure, focusing on three key pathways that are inhibited by sunitinib: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), and the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) 1, 2, and 3. We hypothesize that disruption of these pathways by sunitinib results in cardiotoxicity, and present direct and indirect evidence to support the notion that sunitinib-induced cardiac dysfunction likely involves a variety of molecular mechanisms that are critical for cardiac homeostasis.
Improving the functioning of PHU STAWCZYŃSKI Marek Stawczyński

Due to the coronavirus outbreak (SARS-COV-2), the entire catering industry is in an exceptional situation. The widespread quarantine and stagnation of tourism turned out to be very severe. The guidelines appearing in the Regulation of the Minister of Health ‘on the announcement of an epidemic emergency in the Republic of Poland’ concerned the activities of many companies. In one of the points of the Directive, there was also a provision for the suspension of collective events until cancellation. For more than a month, it was completely prohibited. All reservations made prior to the introduction of the Regulation have been cancelled.. Today, despite the abolition of bans, demand is much lower – this is due to citizens’ fear of infection, border closure for foreign tourists, reduced tourism, the relocation of packages to more distant dates or their implementation in a less modest form. The company cancelled all recurring events, a number of tourist stays and family events – weddings, communions, birthdays, etc. Unfortunately, operating costs have not decreased, which is linked to operating at the limit of cost-effectiveness. WN hoped that during the holiday period he would make up some of the losses, but in the media there are warnings about a possible major re-emergence of the epidemic. The need for the project – over the period of the pandemic, expenditure related to the operation of the facility has been incurred, some of the food has expired. It was necessary to pay the bills. The aid will be used for the company’s turnover – purchase of goods, maintenance of the facility, payment of bills
Flame volume synthesis of carbon-coated WO3 nanoplatelets and nanorods

This paper reports the flame synthesis of WO3/C organic/inorganic octagonal nanoplatelets and nanorods. A high-purity tungsten wire inserted into the oxygen-rich region of the flame was used as a material source. The growth of the formed nanostructures starts with the oxidation of the metal probe, and evaporation of the oxide layer which is followed by the transport of the tungsten oxide vapors from the oxygen-rich to the hydrocarbon-rich zone of the flame. In the oxygen-rich zone, tungsten oxide vapors are crystallized into well-defined single crystal octagonal nanoplatelets. The continuous vapor deposition leads to the nanoplatelet growth in a preferred direction resulting in elongated rod-like nanostructures. The tungsten oxide structures entering the hydrocarbon-rich zone of the flame are coated with carbon layers forming hybrid WO3/C nanomaterials. The ideal conditions for the rapid and direct formation of these novel nanostructures are attributed to the synergy of the strong thermal and chemical gradients present in the flame volume. The entire process takes only a few seconds. A proposed mechanism of the hybridization process of the WO3 nanorods and nanoplatelets to WO3/C is described.
A theoretical investigation on thermoelectric performance of ternary (Bi1−x Sb x )2Te3 compound

The electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of (Bi1−x Sb x )2Te3 compound are investigated by using full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method and semiclassical Boltzmann theory. The density of states and band structure are studied in detail. The transport coefficients are then calculated with the assumption of the constant relaxation time approximation. We investigated the thermoelectric properties at full range of Sb compositions from x = 0 to x = 1. By using the calculated thermoelectric properties and an averaged thermal conductivity, the figure of merit ZT is obtained. The theoretical investigations show a good agreement with the present experimental data.
INUNDA - Actions pilote de prévention des risques d'inondation dans des zones fortement urbanisées

Floods cause extensive human and material damage so are amongst the greatest natural risks for the EU. There were more than 181 large floods on the continent between 1971 and 2001. Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and several countries in Eastern Europe have suffered from the devastating effects of floods. Overall objective / Objectif général To provide authorities with criteria and alternatives for action that will minimise human and material losses caused by floods in heavily built-up basins. The initiative, proposed as an independent project for cooperation, aims to create an appropriate framework for transmitting among different authorities a methodology which, after adaptation and testing in a pilot area for each partner, should improve quality of life for their inhabitants. Expected results / Résultats attendus The expected results are improved professional qualifications and the use of reliable anti-flooding tools based on the dissemination of the INUNDA products: One edition of 500 copies of the methodology, to be distributed among public administrations, universities, etc.; One edition of 2,000 copies of the regulation, programme of actions and good practices, to be distributed among administrations, universities, consultancies and professionals in the sector; One edition of 5,000 copies of specific maps to be distributed among the above-mentioned parties and the general public; 100 participants in local seminars open to the public and 300 participants in the transnational seminar, also to be open to the public. In the long term, if the appropriate administrations approve the regulations and carry out the investments laid down in the programme of action for the standard areas prone to flooding that have been analysed, the impact could be similar to that for other areas where the original methodology has been successfully adopted. In these, a 30-40% reduction was achieved in the human and material damage caused by flooding.
Olfaction and brain size in the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus)

Although there are several isolated references to the olfactory anatomy of mysticetes, it is usually thought that olfaction is rudimentary in this group. We investigated the olfactory anatomy of bowhead whales and found that these whales have a cribriform plate and small, but histologically complex olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb makes up approximately 0.13% of brain weight, unlike odontocetes where this structure is absent. We also determined that 51% of olfactory receptor genes were intact, unlike odontocetes, where this number is less than 25%. This suggests that bowheads have a sense of smell, and we speculate that they may use this to find aggregations of krill on which they feed.
Energy efficiency in high speed railway traffic operation: a real-time ecodriving algorithm

The application of ecodriving strategies leads to important energy savings in high speed railway systems. Ecodriving techniques are usually offline implemented in the design of commercial services. However, efficient driving can also be online recalculated to regulate the deviations from the schedule of the train. In this paper, a dynamic multi-objective model is proposed to calculate a set of efficient drivings that are updated during the journey. Using this model it is possible to react when delays arise replacing the current driving by a faster one. The new speed profile will be energy efficient under the new conditions. The model is solved using the extension of NSGA-II for dynamic optimization problems (DNSGA-II). This algorithm is combined with a detailed simulator of the train motion. The accuracy of the simulator ensures the fulfillment of the quality restrictions in commercial services. The proposed method has been applied to a case study using real data from a Spanish high speed line. The performance of DNSGA-II solving the dynamic model has been compared with NSGA-II. Furthermore, energy savings provided by the regulation algorithm have been evaluated comparing it with the typical driving style when a delay is detected.
