Abstract:
AbstractThe related bacteriophages ϕX174 and G4 were adapted to the inhibitory temperature of 44° and monitored for nucleotide changes throughout the genome. Phage were evolved by serial transfer at low multiplicity of infection on rapidly dividing bacteria to select genotypes with the fastest rates of reproduction. Both phage showed overall greater fitness effects per substitution during the early stages of adaptation. The fitness of ϕX174 improved from −0.7 to 5.6 doublings of phage concentration per generation. Five missense mutations were observed. The earliest two mutations accounted for 85% of the ultimate fitness gain. In contrast, G4 required adaptation to the intermediate temperature of 41.5° before it could be maintained at 44°. Its fitness at 44° increased from −2.7 to 3.2, nearly the same net gain as in ϕX174, but with three times the opportunity for adaptation. Seventeen mutations were observed in G4: 14 missense, 2 silent, and 1 intergenic. The first 3 missense substitutions accounted for over half the ultimate fitness increase. Although the expected pattern of periodic selective sweeps was the most common one for both phage, some mutations were lost after becoming frequent, and long-term polymorphism was observed. This study provides the greatest detail yet in combining fitness profiles with the underlying pattern of genetic changes, and the results support recent theories on the range of fitness effects of substitutions fixed during adaptation.

Abstract:
Purpose: To establish levels of association between physical fitness and match activity profiles of players in the Australian Football League (AFL) participation pathway. Methods: Players (N = 287, range 10.9–19.1 y) were assessed on 20-m sprint, AFL agility, vertical jump and running vertical jump, 20-m multistage fitness test (MSFT), and Athletic Abilities Assessment. Match activity profiles were obtained from global positioning system measures: relative speed, maximal velocity, and relative high-speed running. Results: Correlational analyses revealed moderate relationships between sprint (r = .32–.57, P ≤ .05) and jump test scores (r = .34–.78, P ≤ .05) and match activity profiles in Local U12, Local U14, National U16, and National U18s, except jump tests in National U18s. AFL agility was also moderate to strongly associated in Local U12, Local U14, Local U18, and National U16s (r = .37–.87, P ≤ .05) and strongly associated with relative speed in Local U18s (r = .84, P ≤ .05). Match relative speed and high-speed running were moderate to strongly associated with 20-m MSFT in Local U14, Local U18, and National U18s (r = .41–.95, P ≤ .05) and Athletic Abilities Assessment in Local U12 and Local U18s (r = .35–.67, P ≤ .05). Match activity profile demands increased between Local U12 and National U16s, then plateaued. Conclusions: Physical fitness relates more strongly to match activity profiles in younger adolescent and national-level players. Recruiters should consider adolescent physical fitness and match activity profiles as dynamic across the AFL participation pathway.

Abstract:
Comparative and longitudinal studies were performed to determine the effect of Special Olympic activities on the physical fitness of participants. The comparative study compared cardiovascular fitness, percent body fat, and blood lipid profiles of non-Down, mildly mentally retarded adult Special Olympic participants (SOP) with those of nontraining, nonhandicapped (NTNH) and training nonhandicapped (TNH) adults. The results indicated that SOP displayed lower fitness profiles than TNH. Male SOP demonstrated fitness profiles similar to NTNH while female SOP showed lower cardiovascular fitness levels than both TNH and NTNH. The longitudinal study compared cardiovascular fitness and percent body fat of non-Down, mildly mentally retarded adult SOP before and after 4 to 18 months of Special Olympic activities. This latter study showed no significant change in body weight, percent body fat, or cardiovascular fitness during a time period that averaged over 13 months for each participant. The results indicated that the intensity level of activity for the SOP in this study failed to improve physical fitness.

Abstract:
The use of fitness testing is a practical means for measuring components of health-related fitness, but there is currently substantial debate over the motivating effects of these tests. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the cross-fertilization of achievement and friendship goal profiles for early adolescents involved in the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER). Participants were 214 middle school students who reported their achievement goals, social goals, and preparation effort toward a PACER test. Performance was also examined. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor approach–avoidance model. Cluster analysis highlighted three distinct profiles. The high-goals profile group reported significantly higher amounts of effort put forth in preparation for the PACER test. Our findings suggest that the cross-fertilization of approach and avoidance achievement and social goals can provide important information about effort and performance on fitness testing in middle school physical education.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 10-week physical fitness program on the fitness profiles, levels of self-concept, and body-esteem in 3rd- and 4th-grade low-fit children. The participants were 17 children (9 boys/8 girls) who failed to meet the Physical Best fitness standards in at least 2 of 3 fitness profile components, including cardiovascular endurance (one-mile run/walk), muscular strength and endurance (situps/min), and flexibility (sit and reach). All participants were pre and posttested in each of the three fitness profile components. Self-concept and bodyesteem were also pre and posttested using a shortened version of Harter's Self-Perception profile for children (SPPC) and the Body-Esteem Scale for Children (B-ESC).The treatment group (n = 10) participated 3 days/week for 60 min/day in a vigorous physical activity program designed to maintain heart rates corresponding to 60-80% of each individual's V02 max. An Analysis of Covariance revealed that the treatment group scored significantly higher (p < .05) on the posttest than the control group in two of the four self-concept dimensions (athletic competence and global self-worth) and on two of the three fitness profile components (muscular strength and endurance and flexibility). In light of the problems associated with increasing children's physical activity levels, offering after school programs such as this one appears to be an effective strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Sport is often perceived as inherently positive for sustainable development. This widespread assumption is however found to be quite normative, and the standardization of its boundaries dangerously naive. The lack of contextual specificity across the dominant schools of thought calls for a more comprehensive analysis of what different activities entail in different contexts.  Purpose: This study examines the field of sport for development through a critical lens. Different initiatives using traditional mainstream sports and lifestyle sports, seeking an array of social development objectives, are structurally and systematically unpacked, hence uncovering the attributes that shape the achievements and challenges of the projects.  Methods: Through a qualitative approach, six organisations operating in varying scopes and environments were interviewed using a semi-structured approach.  Results: The investigation pinpoints the encompassing theme of sportification as a force of change influencing the internal and external dynamics of lifestyle sports as well as traditional mainstream sports, though to a lesser extent. Several important issues emerge from the investigation, such as how the notions of focus, networks and the fundamental benefits and challenges underlying each type of sport can materialize into concrete impacts on social development.  Conclusions: A fine balance of sportification is necessary in order to gain the leverage and capital required to access the opportunities presented by organized sport yet without excessively compromising the innate social qualities of the activity.

Full text
Abstract:
At the beginning of this project it was known that functional electrical stimulation (FES) rowing was technically feasible, but no studies on health benefits had been conducted and it was unclear what levels of fitness could be reliably attained by spinal cord injured (SCI) users. This thesis shows that training with the first-generation of the FES-rowing system (RowStim II), seven paraplegics achieved high V02peak values (21.0 - 27.9 ml-kg-1-min-1) and a significant (10%) increase in V02peak. This was also found to significantly improve insulin sensitivity and leptin levels but it had no significant effect on lipid profiles or body composition, possibly caused by technological limitations of the RowStim 11. However, training volumes were positively correlated with improvements in lipid profile and body composition. This motivated further technical development of the RowStim to enable paraplegics to train harder and longer. The development included a more stable seat configuration with redesigned trunk retaining straps, a rigid low friction carriage/brake system, improved leg stabiliser, improved stimulation control and a gravity-assisted return phase. This RowStim III has enabled paraplegics to participate in the British (2004, 2005 and 2006) and World Indoor Rowing Championships (2006). The rowers have achieved higher exercise intensities (26.8 -31.0 ml. kg- I .min-1) and increased exercise volumes (1,150 kcal-week-1) with the RowStim III. Such levels of physical activity, which are difficult to achieve for paraplegics using traditional exercises, are correlated with significant health benefits in the able-bodied. Preliminary results suggest that perfusion of the quadriceps muscle during FES-rowing might limit the exercise time in novice rowers. Other preliminary data from pressure mapping indicate that there is a dynamic pattern during FES-rowing, which might reduce the risk for pressure sores during FES-rowing. This thesis shows that FES-rowing is now a rapidly developing exercise modality, which has been shown to enable safe and well-tolerated exercise for individuals with SCI. It can offer unprecedented levels of cardiovascular fitness, competitive challenges and potentially important health benefits.

Abstract:
Directed evolution is generally regarded as a useful approach in protein engineering. By subjecting members of a mutant library to the power of Darwinian evolution, desired protein properties are obtained. Numerous reports have appeared in the literature showing the success of tailoring proteins for various applications by this method. Is it a one-way track that protein practitioners can only learn from nature to enable more efficient protein engineering? A structure-and-mechanism-based approach, supplemented with the use of reduced amino acid alphabets, was proposed as a general means for semi-rational enzyme engineering. Using human GST A2-2*E, the most active human enzyme in the bioactivation of azathioprine, as a parental enzyme to test this approach, a L107G/L108D/F222H triple-point mutant of GST A2-2*E (thereafter designated as GDH) was discovered with 70-fold increased activity, approaching the upper limit of specific activity of the GST scaffold. The approach was further experimentally verified to be more successful than intuitively choosing active-site residues in proximity to the bound substrate for the improvement of enzyme performance. By constructing all intermediates along all putative mutational paths leading from GST A2-2*E to mutant GDH and assaying them with nine alternative substrates, the fitness landscapes were found to be “rugged” in differential fashions in substrate-activity space. The multidimensional fitness landscapes stemming from functional promiscuity can lead to alternative outcomes with enzymes optimized for other features than the selectable markers that were relevant at the origin of the evolutionary process. The results in this thesis suggest that in this manner an evolutionary response to changing environmental conditions can readily be mounted. In summary, the thesis demonstrates the attractive features of the structure-and-mechanism-based semi-rational directed evolution approach for optimizing enzyme performance. Moreover, the results gained from the studies show that laboratory evolution may refine our understanding of evolutionary process in nature.

El presente plan de negocios busca proponer un gimnasio especializado en la reducción de peso saludable basado en las necesidades de las mujeres con sobrepeso. Este servicio pretende enfocarse en el aspecto físico, emocional y social a través de programas que incluyen un modelo de entrenamiento personalizado, máquinas acondicionadas, supervisión de especialistas, y actividades de integración. El público objetivo se encuentra en el rango de edad de 25 a 45 años de los NSE A y B. Asimismo, pertenecen a la Zona 7 según APEIM, la cual comprende los distritos de Santiago de Surco, Miraflores, San Isidro, San Borja y La Molina. En cuanto a las macro tendencias del consumidor y tendencias de la industria fitness, estas evidencian que el consumidor tendrá preferencia por un servicio integral y personalizado que los fortalezcan tanto a nivel físico como emocional. Por otro lado, a nivel nacional el sobrepeso ha experimentado un aumento en los últimos años, debido a factores como el sedentarismo y hábitos alimenticios. En el mercado nacional, se identificó un público desatendido en este segmento de personas con sobrepeso por la oferta actual de gimnasios, lo cual junto a lo anteriormente mencionado propicia un contexto favorable para el desarrollo del negocio. De esta manera, se realizó una investigación de mercado dirigida al público objetivo con entrevistas a expertos de la industria, especialistas de la salud, entrenadores y proveedores, que permitieron identificar las necesidades de estos consumidores y medir la aceptación de la propuesta de negocio. Se complementó con una investigación cuantitativa, donde se alcanzó un nivel de aprobación de la propuesta de valor de un 90%; mientras que, la intención de compra obtuvo un 62% de aceptación (conformado por un 58% y 4 % de personas que indicaron que “probablemente sí” y “definitivamente sí”). En cuanto al análisis financiero, se desarrolló una evaluación en un horizonte de 10 años y la inversión estimada asciende a S/. 1, 248, 312 para el inicio del negocio. En un escenario sin deuda, la tasa interna de retorno (TIR) es de 30.48%, el VPN de S/. 515,478 y el periodo de recupero de la inversión de 6.6 años. Por otra lado, en un escenario con deuda, se alcanzó un TIR financiera es de 36.06% y la TIR económica de 30.48%, un VPN para el accionista de S/. 504,806 y el VPN para el proyecto de S/. 561,234 con un retorno de inversión de 5.73 años para el accionista; mientras que para la empresa es de 6.53 años. Por último, se evidencia que el plan de negocio se presenta como una opción de inversión rentable en el mercado de gimnasios, con un buen tamaño de mercado donde la propuesta de valor tiene buena aceptación y la inversión es rentable.

Abstract:
The purpose was to compare the physical fitness level of male fire fighters to the average Canadian population of similar age and sex. Subjects were 1303 fire fighters between the ages of 19 and 58 years, categorized into the following four age groups: 19-29 years (n = 351), 30-39 years (n = 408), 40-49 years (n = 408) and 50-59 years (n = 136). Subjects participated in the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness including (1) pre-test screening; (2) anthropometric; (3) cardiovascular; (4) flexibility and; (5) muscular endurance measurements. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant differences between the body composition, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance levels of fire fighters compared to the average Canadian of similar age. Fire fighters had significantly lower VO$ sb2$max values and significantly greater scores for sit-ups, push-ups and flexibility for all age categories, compared to their counterparts. The fire fighters' lower aerobic capacity was attributed to elevated body mass and possible long-term effects of exposure to carbon monoxide and vapours from combustible chemicals.

Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar a adaptação transcultural e verificar a confiabilidade, consistência interna, validade estrutural e a validade de construto do ProFiMap-neck em indivíduos com relato de dor cervical crônica. Método: Participaram deste estudo pacientes do sexo feminino com relato de dor cervical há mais de 3 meses durante o movimento ou repouso A amostra foi composta por 30 indivíduos (33,43±10,32 anos) para a etapa de teste da versão pré-final, 100 indivíduos (38,89±10,84 anos) para a confiabilidade e 180 indivíduos (37,49±11,86 anos) para a validadade de construto, para a análise da consistência interna e validade estrutural. O processo de tradução e retrotradução ocorreu em 5 etapas: 1) Tradução inicial para o português, 2) Síntese de traduções, 3) Retrotradução, 4) Comitê de especialistas, e 5) O teste da versão pré-final. Para validade de construto a pontuação do ProFitMap-neck foi correlacionada com a pontuação do Neck Disability Index (NDI), além disso, foram utilizados para fins de correlação a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar (HADS-A e HADS-D), a Escala Tampa de Cinesiofobia e o Short Form - 36 (SF-36). Para a análise fatorial exploratória foi utilizada a Análise de Componentes Principais, o indice de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) e % de variância cumulativa. Para a análise da consistência interna foi utilizado o coeficiente de ? de Cronbach. Para a confiabilidade foi utilizando o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse (CCI). O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson foi utilizado para verificação das correlações. A magnitude da correlação foi graduada da seguinte maneira: R<0,29: pobre; 0,30,7: forte. Resultados: Durante o processo de teste da versão pré-final não foram relatadas dúvidas pela amostra de pacientes ao responder o instrumento. Para a escala de Sintomas/Intensidade do ProFitMap-neck versão português brasileiro foram verificados dois domínios (Escala de Sintomas/Intensidade Geral e Escala de Sintomas/Intensidade Equilíbrio) com porcentagem de variância cumulativa de 57,33% e índice KMO=0,66. Para a escala de Sintomas/Frequência do ProFitMap-neck foi verificado apenas 1 domínio com porcentagem de variância cumulativa de 56,20% e KMO=0,84. Para a escala de Limitação Funcional do ProFitMap-neck foram verificados 2 domínios (Postura e AVDs e Movimento e Percepção de Saúde) com porcentagem de variância cumulativa de 56,28% e KMO=0,57. Todos os itens apresentaram carga fatorial superior a 0,2. A análise de consistência interna demonstrou valores de alpha de cronbach adequados (alpha>0.70) para todos os domínios do ProFitMap-neck. Na reprodutibilidade foram verificados valores de CCI excelentes para todos os domínios e escalas (ICC>0,75). Nossos achados demonstraram correlações moderadas/fortes e negativas entre a pontuação total do NDI e as pontuações dos domínios e escalas Sintomas/Intensidade, Sintomas/Frequencia e Limitação Funcional do ProFitMapneck (R=-0,65, R=-0,56 e R=-0,71, respectivamente). Foram verificadas correlações no geral moderadas/fortes e positivas entre os escores das ferramentas SF-36 e ProFitMap-neck. Para as correlações entre Ansiedade, Despressão e Cinesiofobia e as Escalas do ProFitMap-neck versão português brasileiro foram verificadas correlações em sua maioria moderadas e fortes (-0,32Objective: This study aimed to perform the cultural adaptation and verify the reliability, internal consistency, structural validity and construct validity of the Profile Fitness Mapping neck questionnaire (ProFiMap-neck) in individuals reporting chronic neck pain. Method: This study recruited female patients with neck pain for more than three months during motion or at rest The sample consisted of 30 individuals (33.43 ± 10.32 years) to test the pre-final version, 100 individuals (38.89 ± 10.84 years) for reliability and 180 individuals (37.49 ± 11.86 years) for construct validity, analysis of internal consistency and structural validity. The process of translation and back translation occurred in 5 steps: 1) Initial translation into Portuguese, 2) Summary of translations, 3) Back-translation, 4) Committee of Experts, and 5) The test of the pre-final version. Construct validity was verified correlating scores on ProFitMap-neck and Neck Disability Index (NDI), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS-A and HADS-D), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Short Form - 36 (SF-36). Exploratory factor analysis was perfomed considering Principal Component Analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index (KMO) and percentange of cumulative variance. For the analysis of internal consistenc, we used ? Cronbach and for reliability Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigate correlations and the strength was graded as follows: R <0.29: poor; 0.3 0.7: Strong. Results: During the test of the pre-final version, volunteers did no report doubts. Structural validity retained two domains for Symptoms/Intensity ProFitMap-neck Brazilian Portuguese version (General Symptoms Intensity and Symptoms Intensity/ Balance) with cumulative percentage of variance of 57.33% and KMO=0.66. For the Scale Symptoms/Frequency of ProFitMap-neck we identified one domain, with cumulative percentage of variance of 56.20% and KMO = 0.84. For Functional Limitation of the ProFitMap-neck, we identified two domains (Posture and Movement and Diary Life Activities and Health Perception) with cumulative percentage of variance of 56.28% and KMO = 0.57. All items had factors loadings greater than 0.2. The internal consistency analysis revealed adequate alpha Cronbach values (alpha>0.70) for all ProFitMap-neck domains. We obtained excellent ICC values for all domains and scales (ICC> 0.75). Our findings showed moderate/strong and negative correlations between the total score of the NDI and the scores of the domains and scales Symptoms/Intensity, Symptoms/Frequency and Functional Limitation of ProFitMap-neck brazilian portuguese version (R = -0.65, R = -0.56 and R = -0.71, respectively). Correlations between the scores of the SF-36 and ProFitMapneck tools were in the majority moderate/strong and positive. For correlations between anxiety, depression and kinesiophobia and the scales of the ProFitMap-neck brazilian portuguese version were observaded moderate and strong values (-0.32

Abstract:
<em>Abstract.</em>—Artificial propagation is a potential mechanism to aid recovery of U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed stocks of Pacific salmon on the West Coast of the United States. Theoretically, one of the fastest ways to amplify population numbers for depleted stocks of Pacific salmon is through culture and release of hatchery-propagated fish. However, past attempts to use supplementation (i.e., the use of artificial propagation in an attempt to maintain or increase natural production) to rebuild naturally spawning populations of Pacific salmon have often yielded poor results. One solution is to develop protocols that increase fitness of hatchery-reared salmonids, thereby improving survival. A framework of conservation hatchery strategies to reduce potential impacts of artificial propagation on the biology and behavior of fish is presented. Operational guidelines for conservation hatcheries to help mitigate the unnatural conditioning provided by hatchery rearing are discussed and contrasted to those for production hatchery operation. These include (1) mating and rearing designs that reduce risk of domestication selection and produce minimal genetic divergence of hatchery fish from their wild counterparts to maintain long-term adaptive traits; (2) simulation of natural rearing conditions through incubation and rearing techniques that approximate natural profiles and through increasing habitat complexity (e.g., cover, structure, and substrate in rearing vessels) to produce fish more wildlike in appearance and with natural behaviors and higher survival; (3) conditioning techniques such as antipredator conditioning to increase postrelease behavioral fitness; (4) programming aspects of release size, stage, and condition to match the wild population in order to reduce potential for negative ecological interactions and to promote homing; and (5) aggressive monitoring and evaluation to determine success of conservation hatchery approaches. High priority must be given to basic scientific research to meet three principal goals: (1) maintain genetic integrity of the population, (2) increase juvenile quality and behavioral fitness, and (3) increase adult quality.

Abstract:
Medication allows many people with long-term health conditions to pursue productive employment when they would otherwise be unable to work safely and effectively. However, both short-term and long-term pharmacological treatments can have implications for work. The number of medications taken by individuals has increased; the risk of harm increasing with polypharmacy. The Internet has transformed communications, and practitioners have greater accessibility to updated clinical data with increased communication between specialists. But easier access to data on medication and health conditions for employees has both positive and negative influences. High-profile road traffic fatalities have raised public concerns about the potential adverse effects of medication and of employees not reporting or managing conditions effectively. Occupational health professionals are not regular prescribers. However, they can help to monitor safe use of medications, by observing and recording compliance and adverse effects in relation to workplace health and safety. Greater involvement in employees’ medication management, with onward communication of problems to treating physicians, is required to enable occupational health to participate in medicines optimization.

Abstract:
This paper aims to provide a detailed assessment of some of the existing residual stress profiles prescribed in widely used fitness-for-service assessment codes and standards, such as BS 7910 Appendix Q, by taking advantage of some comprehensive residual studies that become available recently. After presenting a case study on which residual stress measurements are available for validating finite element based residual stress solution procedure, residual stress profiles stipulated in BS 7910 for girth welds are evaluated in the context of a series of parametric finite element results and a shell theory based full-field residual stress estimation scheme. As a result, a number of areas for improvement in residual stress profile development are identified, including some specific considerations on how to attain some of these improvements.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper a systematic approach to the optimization of 2D blade profiles is presented. A genetic optimizer has been developed which modifies the blade profile and calculates its profile loss. This process is automatic, producing profile designs significantly faster and with significantly lower loss than has previously been possible. The optimizer developed uses a genetic algorithm to optimize a 2D profile, defined using 17 parameters, for minimum loss with a given flow condition. The optimizer works with a “population” of 2D profiles with varied parameters. A CFD mesh is generated for each profile, and the result is analyzed using a 2D blade to blade solver, written for steady viscous compressible flow, to determine profile loss. The loss is used as the measure of a profile’s “fitness”. The optimizer uses this information to select the members of the next population, applying crossovers, mutations, and elitism in the process. Using this method the optimizer tends towards the best values for the parameters defining the profile with minimum loss.

Abstract:
A design system for the blade sections of industrial axial compressors has been developed. The method combines a parametric geometry definition method, a powerful blade-to-blade flow solver (MISES) and an optimization technique (breeder genetic algorithm) with an appropriate fitness function. Particular effort has been devoted to the design of the fitness function for this application which includes non-dimensional terms related to the required performance at design and off-design operating points. It has been found that essential aspects of the design (such as the required flow turning, or mechanical constraints) should not be part of the fitness function, but need to be treated as so-called “killer” criteria in the genetic algorithm. Finally, it has been found worthwhile to examine the effect of the weighting factors of the fitness function to identify how these affect the performance of the sections. The system has been tested on the design of a repeating stage for the middle stages of an industrial axial compressor. The resulting profiles show an increased operating range compared to an earlier design using NACA65 profiles.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes several recent advances in crack assessment technology that have been or will be incorporated into the API 579 fitness-for-service standard. Four technology areas are addressed herein: • Stress intensity factor solutions. The 2016 edition of API 579 contains an extensive library of stress intensity solutions inferred from 3D finite element analysis. • A new equation for fitting elastic-plastic J solutions. A parametric equation that captures the elastic, fully-plastic and contained-yielding regimes of deformation provides an alternative definition of reference stress in the failure assessment diagram (FAD) method. • An enhanced constraint adjustment. A future edition of API 579 will include an improved version of the Wallin methodology for shifting the Master Curve reference temperature to account for constraint effects. • A procedure to account for non-ideal crack profiles. Most crack assessment methods assume an idealized flaw shape such as semi-elliptical, but many real-world flaws have complex shapes.

Abstract:
Abstract Automated Fluid-dynamic Shape Optimization plays a key role in the design of turbomachinery and typically combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers, parametrization techniques and numerical optimization methods, generally categorized as either direct or surrogate-based (SBO) ones. Here, a particular focus is given to SBO exploiting surrogate models constructed from low-fidelity models, often referred to as variable or multi-fidelity optimization. This study presents a multi-fidelity SBO approach for the optimization of a supersonic turbine cascade operating with an organic fluid and of the transonic LS89 high-pressure turbine vane. A cokriging method is used to simultaneously take into account quantities of interest (QoI) coming from models of different fidelities providing a global surrogate model. A classic Bayesian global optimization method permits to iteratively select promising designs. It relies on the maximization of the so-called Expected Improvement criterion. A geometrical parametrization technique based on B-splines is considered to describe the profile geometry. The total pressure loss coefficient is minimized while the mass flow rate is constrained. For both the application cases, the optimization study reveals a speed-up of 3 to 5 times in the convergence process with respect to classic optimization frameworks based on a single fidelity, while providing similar improvements in terms of fitness functions.

Abstract:
Abstract Leading Edge Slats are popularly being put into practice due to their capability to provide a significant increase in the lift generated by the wing airfoil and decrease in the stall. Consequently, their optimum design is critical for increased fuel efficiency and minimized environmental impact. This paper attempts to develop and optimize the Leading-Edge Slat geometry and its orientation with respect to airfoil using Genetic Algorithm. The class of Genetic Algorithm implemented was Invasive Weed Optimization as it showed significant potential in converging design to an optimal solution. For the study, Clark Y was taken as test airfoil. Slats being aerodynamic devices require smooth contoured surfaces without any sharp deformities and accordingly Bézier airfoil parameterization method was used. The design process was initiated by producing an initial population of various profiles (chromosomes). These chromosomes are composed of genes which define and control the shape and orientation of the slat. Control points, Airfoil-Slat offset and relative chord angle were taken as genes for the framework and different profiles were acquired by randomly modifying the genes within a decided design space. To compare individual chromosomes and to evaluate their feasibility, the fitness function was determined using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations conducted on OpenFOAM. The lift force at a constant angle of attack (AOA) was taken as fitness value. It was assigned to each chromosome and the process was then repeated in a loop for different profiles and the fittest wing slat arrangement was obtained which had an increase in CL by 78% and the stall angle improved to 22°. The framework was found capable of optimizing multi-element airfoil arrangements.

Abstract:
This case study exhibits how groundbreaking inspection methodologies combined with innovative computational analysis practices demonstrate the value of conducting fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments on sectional piping. In this instance, a fitness-for-service assessment was performed on two sections of piping experiencing external corrosion at the pipe-to-elbow seam welds. A full external scan and spot ultrasonic thickness (UT) readings were used to create the corroded geometry and verify accurate measurement of the remaining thicknesses in various corroded locations. This allowed for the actual corroded profiles to be accurately modeled using finite element analysis (FEA). Complications were present when modeling the observed metal loss. Through the use of innovative finite element mesh generation practices, the actual measured corroded geometry was modeled without the need for over-conservative geometric simplification. A Level 3 FFS assessment was then performed in addition to a remaining life assessment based on observed corrosion rates. The result of this analysis was that the piping could remain in service for at least two additional years before needing repair.

Abstract:
In checking the fitness of fatigue critical welded structure, the stress concentration at the weld due to the weld geometry needs to be considered. Where fatigue is assessed using crack growth methodology, two approaches are commonly used. In the offshore industry in regions where BS 7910 [1] is followed, the effect of weld geometry is assessed using the Mk factor approach. The Mk factor directly magnifies the stress intensity. Mk factor solutions are available for T-butt weld joints from the British Standard BS7910. Alternatively, API579 [2] offers stress intensity solutions that can account for the stress profile through the wall thickness of the pipe. In using this method, the engineer will use an FEA program to find the stress profile for use as an input for the stress intensity factor computation. Since the goal is the assessment of crack growth, the stress profile must represent the cyclic changes in stress. Further, a histogram of such profiles is required. While the Mk factor approach of BS7910 offers the easier path by supplying factors for pre-solved geometries, the API approach offers an opportunity to refine the solution by conducting relatively simple linear FEA of the un-cracked component. This study compares the two approaches using an example taken from offshore riser fatigue analysis.
