Wind, Wave, and Tidal Energy Without Power Conditioning [PDF]
Most present wind, wave, and tidal energy systems require expensive power conditioning systems that reduce overall efficiency. This new design eliminates power conditioning all, or nearly all, of the time.

Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Rotating and positive-displacement pumps for low-thrust rocket engines. Volume 1: Pump Evaluation and design [PDF]
Rotating and positive displacement pumps of various types were studied for pumping liquid fluorine for low-thrust, high-performance rocket engines. Included in the analysis were: centrifugal, pitot, Barske, Tesla, drag, gear, vane, axial piston, radial ...

Recent Advances in Design of Low Cost Film Concentrator and Low Pressure Free Piston Stirling Engines for Solar Power [PDF]
The free piston Stirling-linear alternator was shown to be scalable to power levels of tens of kilowatts in a form which is simple, efficient, long lived and relatively inexpensive.

Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

GRAPHICAL MODELLING AND STUDIES ON HYDRAULIC PUMP PARAMETERS
Hydraulic drive can be defined as a set of technical functions through which the transmission of mechanical energy is carried out, from a driver element to a driven one, using a hydraulic environment.

Abstract We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a 2‐week training programme comprising resistance vibration exercise (RVE) without and with artificial gravity (AG). Participants (n = 24) were divided into three groups: (i) URVE: upright loaded squat exercise; (ii) HRVE: horizontal loaded squat exercise; and (iii) AGRVE: loaded squat exercise ...

A Mathematical Model for Two‐Phase Flow in Confined Environments: Numerical Solution and Validation
We present a numerical framework based on the Cahn‐Hilliard‐Navier‐Stokes (CHNS) model to simulate biphasic flow in confined environments. After deriving the mathematical model, we develop the weak form of the system of PDEs using a pedagogical approach to enable its implementation in FEniCS.
