MODERNISATION OF STEAM TURBINE CONSTRUCTION AT REGENERATIVE STEAM EXTRACTION POINT
TASK Quarterly, 2010 The paper presents a methodology which has led to improvement of the turbine stage performance in the regenerative steam extraction chamber area by introducing a ring which collects the leakage flow from the gaps over unshrouded rotor blade tips and ...

BI-AXIAL NEUTRAL AXIS TRACKING FOR CRACK DETECTION IN WIND TURBINE TOWERS
TASK Quarterly, 2015 This work concentrates on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of a wind turbine tower. The paper investigates the use of a decision level data fusion based on bi-axial tracking of change in the neutral axis (NA) position for damage detection in wind ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF MODEL HELICOPTER ROTOR IN HOVER
TASK Quarterly, 2008 The article presents details of a URANS simulation of the flow field near a hovering model of the Caradonna and Tung (1981) helicopter rotor [1]. The CFD code SPARC [2] proves to be capable of capturing the aerodynamics of a two -bladed rotor in high ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

HOLE EXTENSION EFFECT ON TRANSPIRATION FLOW EFFICIENCY
TASK Quarterly, 2015 The present analysis of the hole extension effect on the transpiration flow efficiency is a part of the research [1] which aims at defining a physical transpiration model of the flow through perforated plates.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...
