Establishing a robust testing approach for displacement measurement on a rotating horizontal-axis wind turbine
Authors: Najafi Nadia , Vesth Allan 
Published: May 2018

Abstract. Health monitoring by conventional sensors like accelerometers or strain
gauges becomes challenging for large rotating structures due to the issues
with feasibility, sensing and data transmission. In addition, acceleration
measurements have low capability of presenting very small frequencies, which
happen very often for large structures (for instance, frequencies between 0.2
and 0.5 Hz in horizontal-axis wind turbines). By contrast, displacement
measurement using stereo vision is rapid, non-contacting and distributed
over the structure. The sensors are cheaper and more easily applied to many
places on the object to be measured. Horizontal-axis wind turbines are one of
the most important large rotating structures and need to be measured and
monitored in time to prevent damage and failure, and the blade tip position
is one of the key parameters to measure in order to prevent the blade hitting the
turbine tower. This paper presents a clearly described and easily applicable procedure for
measuring the displacement on the components of a rotating horizontal-axis
wind turbine with
stereophotogrammetry. Paper markers have been applied on the rotor and tower
of a scaled-down horizontal-axis wind turbine model in the workshop and the
displacement measurement method has been demonstrated by measuring
displacement during operation. The method is mainly developed in two parts:
(1) camera calibration and (2) tracking algorithm. We introduce an efficient
camera calibration method for measurement in large fields of view, which has
always been a challenge. This method is easy and practical and offers better
accuracy compared with 2-D traditional camera calibration. The tracking
algorithm also works successfully and is able to track the points during
rotation within the measurement time. Finally, the accuracy analysis has been
conducted and has shown better accuracy of the new calibration method
compared with 2-D traditional camera calibration.

Published: May 2018

Integrated pathways are commonly seen as the way to strengthen service delivery in many countries. Russia has traditionally had a multilevel system of care that consists of facilities varying in terms of the complexity of cases treated. The attempts are currently made to strengthen this system with an emphasis on closer interaction between individual providers. The recent innovation is to establish a new intermediate level of inter-district specialty centers that serve the population of a few local areas and provide additional services. The early detection of new cases and their follow-up management have been activated as a part of a new model. It is piloted in a Russian region with the focus on the cases of benign prostate hyperplasia. The objective of the paper is to present the new model and to evaluate its first impact on urological service performance. The major findings include: 1) the growth of the new urological cases detected at the level of primary care and a gradual decline in the frequency of the most complicated and neglected cases; 2) the optimization of patients flows across the levels of service delivery – the rise in the utilization at the first levels of service delivery and the decline in the share of tertiary care; 3) the need for additional funding to treat the increased number of cases, with the first signs of slowing down this process; 4) a decrease in unit costs as the result of the changes in the structure of new cases, shifts in the utilization of care by the levels of service delivery. These trends are discussed with the focus on the identification of strengths and weaknesses of the new model, as well as the ways to ensure its sustainability.The major lesson learnt is that building a multilevel system of service delivery can be seen as the instrument of integration of care and efficiency savings for a country with limited financial resources for health. This process should go parallel with more profound changes in the health system, of which the most important is strengthening primary care, particularly coordination function of general practitioners.

Theoretische vernieuwing in de criminologie
Authors: van Swaaningen René , Schuilenburg Marc 
Published: May 2018

Theoretical innovation in criminology
This article starts off with an exposé of what ‘theoretical innovation’ means in the social sciences. The development of criminology is considered to be a result of (1) historical and cultural developments, (2) political-economic developments, (3) developments in other academic disciplines and (4) reactions to or specifications of other theoretical perspectives in criminology itself. Paradigm shifts in criminology are characterised by an individualistic and positivist aetiological turn in its early days; a sociological turn towards a ‘criminology of the lawmaker’ from the late 1950s on; and a return to positivism in the neoliberal and neoconservative turn of the 1990s. The new century ushers in a new epistemological break in criminology, in which globalisation, global warming, migration, human rights and the implications of cyberspace ‘force’ criminologists to overcome their anthropocentric and colonial character biases.
Het ‘cyborg crime’-perspectief

Published: May 2018

The ‘cyborg crime’ perspective. Theoretical innovation in the digital age
This study departs from the notion that current high-tech crime developments bring various new challenges for the rather anthropocentric, instrumental and dualistic theoretical repertoire of criminology. The article reflects on these challenges and proposes the alternative ‘cyborg crime’ perspective. This concept is the result of an explorative research on the theoretical potential of the actor-network theory (ANT) for cybercrime. The study concludes that ANT and the ensuing cyborg crime perspective enables to grasp certain dimensions of cybercrime more profoundly. ANT can move us (criminologists) beyond the classical novelty debate surrounding cybercrime and stimulate theoretical innovation.
Redescription ofPhymolepis cuifengshanensis(Antiarcha: Yunnanolepididae) using high-resolution computed tomography and new insights into anatomical details of the endocranium in antiarchs
Authors: Wang Yajing , Zhu Min 
Published: May 2018

BackgroundYunnanolepidoids constitute either the most basal consecutive segments or the most primitive clade of antiarchs, a highly diversified jawed vertebrate group from the Silurian and Early Devonian periods. Although the general morphology of yunnanolepidoids is well established, their endocranial features remain largely unclear, thus hindering our further understanding of antiarch evolution, and early gnathostome evolution.Phymolepis cuifengshanensis, a yunnanolepidoid from the Early Devonian of southwestern China, is re-described in detail to reveal the information on endocranial anatomy and additional morphological data of head and trunk shields.MethodsWe scanned the material ofP. cuifengshanensisusing high-resolution computed tomography and generated virtual restorations to show the internal morphology of its dermal shield. The dorsal aspect of endocranium inP. cuifengshanensiswas therefore inferred. The phylogenetic analysis of antiarchs was conducted based on a revised and expanded dataset that incorporates 10 new cranial characters.ResultsThe lateroventral fossa of trunk shield and Chang’s apparatus are three-dimensionally restored inP. cuifengshanensis. The canal that is positioned just anterior to the internal cavity of Chang’s apparatus probably corresponds to the rostrocaudal canal of euantiarchs. The endocranial morphology ofP. cuifengshanensiscorroborates a general pattern for yunnanolepidoids with additional characters distinguishing them from sinolepids and euantiarchs, such as a developed cranio-spinal process, an elongated endolymphatic duct, and a long occipital portion.DiscussionIn light of new data fromPhymolepisandYunnanolepis, we summarized the morphology on the visceral surface of head shield in antiarchs, and formulated an additional 10 characters for the phylogenetic analysis. These cranial characters exhibit a high degree of morphological disparity between major subgroups of antiarchs, and highlight the endocranial character evolution in antiarchs.

Background
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MVS) via right mini-thoracotomy has recently attracted a lot of attention. Minimally invasive MVS shows postoperative results that are comparable to those of conventional MVS through the median sternotomy as per various earlier studies.

Methods
Between 2000 and 2016, a total of 669 isolated mitral valve procedures for isolated mitral valve regurgitation were performed. A propensity score-matched analysis was generated for the elimination of the differences in relevant preoperative risk factors between the cohorts and included 227 patient pairs. Only degenerative mitral valve regurgitation was included. The aim of our study was to examine if the minimally MVS is superior to the conventional approach through sternotomy based on a retrospective propensity-matched analysis. The primary endpoints were early mortality and long-term survival. The secondary endpoints included postoperative complications.

Results
The in-hospital mortality rate was significantly higher within the conventional sternotomy cohort (3.1%, n = 7 vs 0.4%, n = 1 for the minimally invasive cohort; p = 0.032). The incidence of stroke and exploration for bleeding was comparable. In contrast, the necessity for dialysis was significantly lower in the minimally invasive cohort (p = 0.044). Postoperative pain was not significantly lower in the minimally invasive MVS cohort (p = 0.862). While patients who underwent minimally invasive MVS experienced longer bypass and cross-clamp times, their lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital, did not differ from the conventionally operated collective (p = 0.779 and p = 0.516), respectively. The mitral valve repair rate of 81.1% in the minimally invasive cohort was significantly superior to that of the conventional approach, which was 46.3% (p < 0.0001). The one-, five-, and 10-year survival rates were significantly higher in the minimally invasive cohort compared to the conventional approach (96%, 90%, and 84% vs. 89%, 85%, and 70%; log rank p = 0.004).

Conclusion
Despite prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamping times, the minimally invasive MVS may be considered a safe approach that is equivalent to standard median sternotomy with lower early mortality and superior long-term survival.

BackgroundSelenium is an essential element; however, at higher doses, it can be toxic. Therefore, alternative nanotechnological solutions are required to overcome toxicological issues, rather than conventional alternatives. Nanoparticles show new and promising properties that may be able to suppress toxicity while maintaining the positive effects of selenium on an organism. The aim of the experiment was to determine the influence of sodium selenite and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on the antioxidant status of rats.MethodsThe males of the outbreed rat strain Wistar albino were selected as a model organism. Animals were fed different forms of selenium. The control group was given a mixture without selenium addition, whereas other groups were fed a mixture containing sodium selenite, Se-49, and Se-100 SeNPs respectively. The duration of the trial was 30 days.ResultsAnalysis of blood and liver was performed where the concentration of reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG) glutathione, and total selenium content were measured. In the liver, a significant reduction in GSSG was found for all experiment groups. Blood samples showed a significant reduction in GSH and an increase in GSSG.DiscussionThese results show that SeNPs may be an alternative to dietary selenium for animal organisms.

Published: May 2018

BackgroundNasonia vitripennis, a parasitic wasp, is a good model organism to study developmental and evolutionary genetics and to evaluate the interactions between insect hosts and their symbionts.Wolbachiamay be the most prevalent endosymbiont among insect species due to their special ability to improve the fitness of the infected hosts. Transinfection of bacteria or fungi could substantially alter the expression of host immune system components. However, few studies have focused on the effects of nativeWolbachiainfection. Accordingly, in this study, we evaluated the proteomics ofN. vitripennisfollowingWolbachiainfection.MethodsWe studied the proteomics ofN. vitripennisfollowing nativeWolbachiainfection and in antibiotic-treatedWolbachia-free samples using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, accompanying with some ecological experiments.ResultsIn total, 3,096 proteins were found to be associated with a wide range of biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components. Interestingly, there were few significant changes in immune or reproductive proteins between samples with and withoutWolbachiainfection. Differentially expressed proteins were involved in the binding process, catalytic activity, and the metabolic process, as confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.DiscussionInvasion of any pathogen or bacterium within a short time can cause an immunoreaction in the host. Our results implied that during the long process of coexistence, the immune system of the host was not as sensitive as when the symbiont initially infected the host, implying that the organisms had gradually adjusted to cohabitation.

ObjectiveSystemic immunosuppressive treatment of pediatric chronic anterior uveitis (CAU), both juvenile idiopathic arthritis–associated and idiopathic anterior uveitis, varies, making it difficult to identify best treatments. The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) developed consensus treatment plans (CTPs) for CAU for the purpose of reducing practice variability and allowing future comparison of treatments using comparative effectiveness analysis techniques.MethodsA core group of pediatric rheumatologists, ophthalmologists with uveitis expertise, and a lay advisor comprised the CARRA uveitis workgroup that performed a literature review on pharmacologic treatments, held teleconferences, and developed a case‐based survey administered to the CARRA membership to delineate treatment practices. We held 3 face‐to‐face consensus meetings using nominal group technique to develop CTPs.ResultsThe survey identified areas of treatment practice variability. We developed 2 CTPs for the treatment of CAU, case definitions, and monitoring parameters. The first CTP is directed at children who are naive to steroid‐sparing medication, and the second at children initiating biologic therapy, with options for methotrexate, adalimumab, and infliximab. We defined a core data set and outcome measures, with data collection at 3 and 6 months after therapy initiation. The CARRA membership voted to accept the CTPs with a >95% approval (n = 233).ConclusionUsing consensus methodology, 2 standardized CTPs were developed for systemic immunosuppressive treatment of CAU. These CTPs are not meant as treatment guidelines, but are designed for further pragmatic research within the CARRA research network. Use of these CTPs in a prospective comparison effectiveness study should improve outcomes by identifying best practice options.

AbstractIn the field of flexible electronics, emerging applications require biocompatible and unobtrusive devices, which can withstand different modes of mechanical deformation and achieve low complexity in the fabrication process. Here, the fabrication of a mesa‐shaped elastomeric substrate, supporting thin‐film transistors (TFTs) and logic circuits (inverters), is reported. High‐relief structures are designed to minimize the strain experienced by the electronics, which are fabricated directly on the pillars' surface. In this design configuration, devices based on amorphous indium‐gallium‐zinc‐oxide can withstand different modes of deformation. Bending, stretching, and twisting experiments up to 6 mm radius, 20% uniaxial strain, and 180° global twisting, respectively, are performed to show stable electrical performance of the TFTs. Similarly, a fully integrated digital inverter is tested while stretched up to 20% elongation. As a proof of the versatility of mesa‐shaped geometry, a biocompatible and stretchable sensor for temperature mapping is also realized. Using pectin, which is a temperature‐sensitive material present in plant cells, the response of the sensor shows current modulation from 13 to 28 °C and functionality up to 15% strain. These results demonstrate the performance of highly flexible electronics for a broad variety of applications, including smart skin and health monitoring.

AbstractWound healing is affected by bacterial infection and related inflammation, cell proliferation and differentiation, and tissue remodeling. Current antibiotics therapy cannot promote wound healing and kill bacteria at the same time. Herein, hybrid nanosheets of g‐C3N4‐Zn2+@graphene oxide (SCN‐Zn2+@GO) are prepared by combining Zn2+ doped sheet‐like g‐C3N4 with graphene oxide via electrostatic bonding and π–π stacking interactions to assist wound healing and kill bacteria simultaneously by short‐time exposure to 660 and 808 nm light. The gene expressions of matrix metalloproteinase‐2, type I collagen, type III collagen, and interleukin β in fibroblasts are regulated by GO and released Zn2+, which can accelerate wound healing. Co‐irradiation produces an antibacterial ratio over 99.1% within a short time because of the synergistic effects of both photodynamic antibacterial and photothermal antibacterial treatments. The hyperthermia produced by 808 nm light illumination can weaken the bacterial activity. And these bacteria can be easily killed by membrane destruction, protein denaturation, and disruption of bacterial metabolic pathways due to reactive oxygen species produced under 660 nm light irradiation. This strategy of Zn2+ and GO modification can increase the antibacterial efficacy of SCN and accelerate wound healing at the same time, which makes this SCN‐Zn2+@GO be very promising in bacteria‐infected wound healing therapy.
