In this study, effects of the tip cavity with various depths, widths, and locations on the leakage flow and performance of an axial turbine cascade have been investigated numerically.The blade was a linear model of the tip section of the GE-E3 high-pressure turbine first-stage rotor blade.The Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES) model was used i
Analysis and Alternate Selection of Nanopowder Modifiers to Improve a Special Protective Coating System
This paper presents a practical approach for rational choice of silica nanopowders as modifiers to control and improve the performance of protective coating systems operating in harsh environmental conditions.The approach is based on the multiparameter analysis of nanoparticle 5 Piece Queen Bedroom reactivity of similar silica synthesized by using
Interactions between leaf nitrogen status and longevity in relation to N cycling in three contrasting European forest canopies
Seasonal and spatial variations in foliar nitrogen (N) parameters were investigated in three European forests with different tree species, viz.beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L.), Douglas fir (<i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (Mirb.) Franco) and Scots pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) growing in Denmark, the Netherland
Spatial variability of chemical properties of soil under pasture
The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial variability of soil chemical attributes under pasture, as well as lime and fertilizer recommendations based on the ALL interpretation of soil chemical analysis from two sampling methods: conventional and systematic depths of 0 to 10 and 10 to 20 cm.The study was conducted at IFES-campus Alegre-
Early staphylococcal biofilm formation on solid orthopaedic implant materials: in vitro study.
Biofilms forming on the surface of biomaterials can cause intractable implant-related infections.Bacterial adherence and early biofilm formation are influenced by the type of biomaterial used and the physical characteristics of implant surface.In this in vitro research, we evaluated the ability of Staphylococcus epidermidis, the main pathogen in im
