A computational assessment of the aerodynamic performance of a tilted Darrieus wind turbine [PDF]

, 2015
The aerodynamic performance of a Darrieus wind turbine operating with the rotation axis tilted with respect to the free-stream wind speed is investigated in this paper. An Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Periosteal pressure sensitivity of the chest bone as a measure for autonomic function in ischemic heart disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience
PurposeIn 177 patients with ischemic heart disease and elevated periosteal pain sensitivity of the chest bone indicative of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, we test the hypotheses, (i) there is an association between the tilt table responses for the

Hemodynamic Response to the Head-Up Tilt Test in Patients With Syncope as a Predictor of the Test Outcome: A Meta-Analysis Approach

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Aim: The paper presents a meta-analysis of studies comparing hemodynamic parameters: heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (sBP), diastolic blood pressure (dBP), and stroke volume (SV) measured during head-up tilt table test (HUTT) in patients with ...

The Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (DeMi) CubeSat: optomechanical design validation and laboratory calibration

, 2018
Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront correction to detect Earth-like exoplanets near their host stars. High-actuator count microelectromechanical system (MEMS) deformable mirrors provide wavefront control with low size ...

Effect of grain disorientation on early fatigue crack propagation in face-centred-cubic polycristals: A three-dimensional dislocation dynamics investigation [PDF]

, 2013
Three-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations are used to study micro-crack interaction with the first micro-structural barrier in face-centred cubic bi-crystals loaded in high cycle fatigue conditions. In the examined configuration, we assumed that

Relationship between the mean platelet volume values and tilt-table test results in patients with vasovagal syncope

Medicine Science, 2018
Impaired sympathovagal balance, the main pathophysiological mechanism under the vasovagal syncope (VVS), may play a role on platelet sizes. Although it has been shown that mean platelet volume (MPV) is increased in patients with vasovagal syncope, its ...

Measurement and Compensation of Horizontal Crabbing at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator

, 2014
In storage rings, horizontal dispersion in the rf cavities introduces horizontal-longitudinal (xz) coupling, contributing to beam tilt in the xz plane. This coupling can be characterized by a "crabbing" dispersion term {\zeta}a that appears in the normal

Usefulness of Tilt Testing in Children with Syncope: A Survey of Pediatric Electrophysiologists

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2008
The role of tilt table testing as a diagnostic modality in children with unexplained syncope is unclear. We sent a questionnaire to members of the Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society to assess the current practice pattern.
