Research on the Fatigue of Small Impulse Turbine Blade Based on the Numerical Simulation and Experimental Tests by Shijie Liu, Guozhu Liang, Jichao Liu, Yichuan Yang, Hui Wang

“…Results show that (1) different from the aviation field, the specimen is unable to be machined with the welding method because it destroys the crucial details and the mechanical properties; (2) the maximum plastic strain is present at the leading edge close to the hub, at which a 760 μm corner crack appears at the 10113th fatigue cycle. This work provides a feasible method of using the EDM process to machine specimen for the small impulse turbine blade.…”

Uterine Intravenous Leiomyomatosis with Cardiac Extension: Radiologic Assessment with Surgical and Pathologic Correlation by Go Nakai, Kazuya Maeda, Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Takashi Yamada, Yoshinobu Hirose, Yoshito Terai, Masahide Ohmichi, Takahiro Katsumata, Yoshifumi Narumi

“…Radiologic-pathologic correlation showed that the intravascular cord-like mass originating from the IVC and extending to the right ventricle was composed of degenerated smooth muscle cells with a number of large vessels that were regarded as arteries; moreover, the arteries within the cord-like mass appeared to be looping internally. Given the disappearance of the right ovarian venous wall around the IVL pathologically, extracting the tumor from the ovarian vein during an operation is considered to be impossible retrospectively. …”

On Regularization of an Optimal Control Problem for Ill-Posed Nonlinear Elliptic Equations by Peter I. Kogut, Olha P. Kupenko, Rosanna Manzo

“…In particular, we eliminate the PDE constraints between control and state and allow such pairs run freely by introducing an additional variable which plays the role of “compensator” that appears in the original state equation. We show that this fictitious variable can be determined in a unique way. …”

Gerris spinolae Lethierry and Severin (Hemiptera: Gerridae) and Brachydeutera longipes Hendel (Diptera: Ephydridae): Two Effective Insect Bioindicators to Monitor Pollution in Some... by Arijit Pal, Devashish Chandra Sinha, Neelkamal Rastogi

“…Moreover, a significant negative correlation of B. longipes abundance was calculated with dissolved oxygen concentration, while G. spinolae abundance exhibited a positive correlation with the same. Thus, G. spinolae appears to be a pollution sensitive, effective bioindicator for healthy unpolluted ponds, while B. longipes has potential as a pollution-resistant insect species indicative of pollution occurrence.…”
