AbstractWe present the design and first results from two experiments using a wireless subglacial sensor system (WiSe) that is able to transmit data through 2500 m thick ice. Energy consumption of the probes is minimized, enabling the transmission of data for at least 10 years. In July 2010 the first prototype of the system was used to measure subglacial pressure at the base and a temperature profile consisting of 23 probes in two 600 m deep holes at Russell Glacier, a land-terminating part of the West Greenland ice sheet near Kangerlussuaq. The time series of subglacial pressure show very good agreement between data from the WiSe system and the wired reference system. The wireless-measured temperature data were validated by comparison with the theoretical decrease of melting point with water pressure inside the water-filled hole directly after installation. To test the depth range of the WiSe system a second experiment using three different probe types and two different surface antennas was performed inside the 2537 m deep hole at NEEM. It is demonstrated that, with the proper combination of transmission power and surface antenna type, the WiSe system transmits data through 2500 m thick ice.

<p>The goal of the ESA project "Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centre - Part 3" (2019-2021) is to further develop the Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centre (VSWMC), building on the Part 2 prototype system and focusing on the interaction with the ESA SSA SWE system. A first, limited version went operational in May 2019 under the H-ESC umbrella on the ESA SSA SWE Portal. The objective and scopes of this new project include: the efficient integration of <strong>new models</strong> and <strong>new model couplings</strong>, including daily automated<strong> end-to-end (Sun to Earth) simulations, </strong>the further development and wider use of the <strong>coupling toolkit</strong>  and <strong>front-end GUI, </strong>making the <strong>operational system more robust and user-friendly.</strong> The VSWMC-Part 3 project started on 1 October 2019.</p><p>EUHFORIA (‘European heliospheric forecasting information asset’) is integrated in the VSWMC and will be upgraded with alternative coronal models (Multi-VP and Wind-Predict) and flux-rope CME models, and new couplings will be made available, e.g. to more advanced magnetospheric models and radiation belt models, geo-effects models, and even SEP models. The first results will be discussed and put into perspective.</p>

L3 + C is a branch experiment on L3 magnet spectrometer, which is located on the ring of LEP accelerator at CERN. To take the advantage of L3 muon chambers in its low threshold, wide dynamic range and high resolution, the momentum of cosmic ray muons in the range of 15–2000 GeV/c at a shallow depth of 30 m of molasse can be measured precisely. Since 1998, a scintillator detector system, a new fast trigger and DAQ system, and a small air shower array had been established for study the CR muon events independently. Up to August 2000, 8 billion muons and 25 million air shower events had been recorded. The first results for CR muon spectrum and the charge ratio etc. had been obtained.

Abstract Background We have introduced the Senhance Digital Laparoscopy System and actively use for colorectal cancer surgery. Recently, we also try to perform surgery by reduce port as less invasive method. For the first time, we report a case of single-incision plus one-port transverse colectomy using Senhance system. Case presentation The case was a 57-year-old woman, diagnosed with transverse colon cancer referred to our department. The preoperative diagnosis was cT1bN0M0, Stage I. We performed single-incision plus one-port transverse colon resection using Senhance system without any problems. The operative time was 203 min and the blood loss was 35 ml. Conclusion We report the first case of single-incision plus one-port transverse colectomy using Senhance system. We trust this approach will find increasing use, enabling a safer means of minimally invasive robotic surgery.

This paper presents the first results from research into active control of structural load alleviation (SLA) for tiltrotor aircraft carried out in the European ‘critical technology’ RHILP project. The importance of and the need for SLA in tiltrotors are discussed, drawing on previous US experience reported in the open literature. The paper addresses the modelling aspects in some detail; hence forming the foundation for both the FLIGHTLAB simulated XV-15 and EUROTILT configurations. The primary focus of attention is the suppression of in-plane rotor yoke loads for pitch manoeuvres in airplane mode; without suppression these loads would result in a very high level of fatigue damage. Multi-variable control law design methods are used to develop controller schemes and load suppression of 80-90% is demonstrated using rotor cyclic control, albeit at a 20-30% performance penalty. However, rotor flapping transients tend to increase by the action of the SLA system. A dual-objective control design approach demonstrates the effectiveness of suppressing both loads and flapping simultaneously.

Personalized Ventilation

Energy saving is one of the most important research directions in the building sector. Personalized ventilation systems are energy conscious solutions providing fresh air for the occupants. As a side effect, cooling energy can be saved due to higher convective heat removal. Using the data gathered from previous experiments performed with the developed personalized ventilation system, a ±1.408 °C accurate simulation model was created in ANSYS 19.2 Academic version in order to determine the temperature distribution on the face. In this paper, the method and the first results are presented. It was clearly demonstrated by measurements and simulations that the personalized ventilation equipment used has a considerable effect on the skin temperature of the face. The developed model can be used to analyze the skin temperature on the faces of people using the novel, personalized ventilation equipment. This way the time spent on examination can be reduced considerably.

Selection Of

Wastewater treatment facilities of the Ave River basin (located in NW Portugal) are especially vulnerable to infiltration since they present considerable extensions of sewers installed in streams and rivers and collect wastewaters from longstanding sewer networks of five municipalities. The operational management of this complex system involves decision variables such as the selection of the treatment plant where collected wastewater will be treated, with implications for pumped volumes and consequent energy consumption. Aiming to reduce these inflows and increase the management performance of TRATAVE, the company responsible for operating the system, a monitoring network that includes the entire drainage network and treatment facilities operated by the company was designed and implemented. Several flow measurement devices were installed at strategic locations within the sewer network and integrated with a SCADA system responsible for its operation. All measured data was organized in databases. This monitoring platform will support the implementation of a decision support system (DSS) based on a hydrological model of the basin, a hydrodynamic model of the river network and the sewer network. The DSS is being implemented using the Delft-FEWS platform, integrating monitoring data and models. The DSS conceptual framework and the first results of the estimated infiltration volumes are presented.
