High performance of a novel point-of-care blood test for Toxoplasma infection in women from diverse regions of Morocco.

Abstract: Point-of-care (POC) testing for Toxoplasma infection has the potential to revolutionize diagnosis and management of toxoplasmosis, especially in high-risk populations in areas with significant envi...

Investigation of flows induced by subsonic turbulent jets and their relation with the effect of static pressure reduction in a jet

Abstract: The interaction between turbulent jets, both swirling and nonswirling, and the ambient medium is studied on the basis of the results of measurements and numerical simulation. It is shown that the turbulent flow and the swirl give rise to induced ejection flow toward the jet. The mechanism of the jet action on the ambient medium is connected with a decrease in the static pressure in the jet, which, in turn, is due to either the flow swirl or the fluctuating flow in the mixing layer, when the static pressure reduces owing to the presence of velocity fluctuations. The former rarefaction mechanism is predominant in swirling jets and the latter predominates in jets without swirling. It is shown that the ambient medium inflow into the jet due to the rarefaction is independent in nature of the mechanism of the lowered pressure generation and that it is the kinetic energy of the jet that is the energy source for the induced flow.

Free vibration analysis of composite cylindrical shells with non-uniform thickness walls

Abstract: The paper proposes to characterize the free vibration behaviour of non-uniform cylindrical shells using spline approximation under first order shear deformation theory. The system of coupled differential equations in terms of displacement and rotational functions are obtained. These functions are approximated by cubic splines. A generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically for an eigenfrequency parameter and an associated eigenvector which are spline coefficients. Four and two layered cylindrical shells consisting of two different lamination materials and plies comprising of same as well as different materials under two different boundary conditions are analyzed. The effect of length parameter, circumferential node number, material properties, ply orientation, number of lay ups, and coefficients of thickness variations on the frequency parameter is investigated.

Low-cycle fatigue of nickel superalloy single crystals at elevated temperatures

Abstract: Single-crystal samples of nickel superalloys containing rhenium or rhenium plus ruthenium are subjected to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests under rigid cycle conditions at temperatures of 850 and 1050°C. It is found that the single crystals of the alloy containing rhenium with ruthenium have higher LCF resistance at 104 cycles as compared to the alloy containing only rhenium. At a test temperature of 850°C, volume stress concentrators in the form of pores or their clusters represent fatigue crack nucleation zones; at 1050°C, surface corrosion cracks are the main fracture zones. The fatigue microcrack growth rate is anisotropic: it is higher in the [001] direction and lower in the [011] direction.

Experimental and numerical investigation of jet flap interaction effects

Abstract: The influence of the wing and flaps geometry on the flow field and acoustic radiation of the jet are experimentally and numerically investigated. The azimuth non-uniformity of jet acoustic field was experimentally defined with a help of far-field microphones, flow field within the jet was measured using PIV technique and numerically calculated with a help high resolution combined RANS/ILES method. The jet flaps interaction (JFI) effects was experimentally and numerically investigated at facility under modeling of real by-pass nozzle configuration and outflow parameters. The comparison between measured flow-field and noise of a jet shows that JFI excess noise is mainly related to jet deformation and increasing of velocity gradients and turbulence within jet which are induced by tip flap vortexes.
