Abstract: The invention refers to systems and methods to optimize the memory and communications that suits the memory organization of many scientific codes, such as Computer Fluid Dynamics codes, that operate on meshes, such the mesh of an object that moves through a fluid medium. The methods adjust the order in which the data are used inside the algorithm, by means of traversing and ordering the mesh. This ordered mesh is streamed into the lower memory levels and allows for minimal data transfer requirements. The method also reduces the memory needs dramatically and improves the execution time of the scientific code. The systems and methods are particularly useful in the aeronautic industry for designing new aircrafts.

Abstract: A current transformer (5) having a plurality of primary and secondary windings, comprising a top Strain measuring system of wind turbine blades (11) during the performance of static tests that comprises an equipment for measuring the strain at multiple locations in mono-mode optical fibres (5, 7, 9) using Rayleigh scattered light, that includes an OBR interrogator (23), an interface device (25) and an Acquisition System (27), said mono-mode optical fibres (5, 7, 9) being attached to the blade (11) subjected to said tests for obtaining high spatial resolution measurements of the blade strain during said tests. Said optical fibres (5, 7, 9) may be placed whether in a longitudinal direction or in a non-longitudinal direction or in a non-linear shape in given blade sections and may be bonded whether to the outer skin (31) of the blade (11), or into grooves (51, 53) in the outer skin (31) of the blade (11) or embedded between two structural laminates (33, 35) of the blade (11).

Abstract: A network comprising a plurality of network devices is configured to implement scheduling for energy efficiency. In one aspect, a set of network devices interconnected in a line within a network is identified, and a common frame size is established. For each of the network devices of the line, active and inactive periods for that network device are scheduled in a corresponding frame having the common frame size, with the frames in the respective network devices of the line being time shifted relative to one another by designated offsets. For each of one or more of the active periods of each of the network devices of the line, received packets are scheduled for processing in that network device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of production of plants having improved resistance to low-temperature stress, comprising a stage of conversion of the cells of a plant with a sequence of exogenous arginine decarboxylase gene ADC1 under control of a promoter capable of functioning in the plant. Plants thus obtained show resistance to low-temperature stress without the phenotype being affected when compared with the phenotype of plants of the wild type.

Abstract: A directional controller for a device is provided. The directional controller consists of keypad contacts, a keyboard, and a button. The keypad contacts are on a printed circuit board. The keyboard has more than four keys and each key is disposed adjacent to one of the keypad contacts. The button is operable for pivoting engagement with the more than four keys to promote contact between the more than four keys and the adjacent one of the keypad contacts.

Abstract: The navigation system described here utilizes GPS and Galileo satellite signals combined with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), where a Coupled Antenna (CAN) provides both GNSS and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to a Highly Integrated GNSS-Inertial (Hi-Gi) receiver. Such receiver makes use of a high fidelity relation between GNSS unprocessed Correlator Output (COUT) I and Q data and the user trajectory, and inertial sensor data, which in turn are combined within a Kalman Filter (KF). The KF determines the navigation solution that is also used to provide feedback to the receiver demodulation signal processing stage, thus eliminating the need of dedicated structures such as Delayed Locked Loops (DLL) and Phase Locked Loops (PLL), allowing a significant improvement in navigation performance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of some terpenes, for example chlovalicin, ovalicin or fumagillin, as antifungal against Malassezia species and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of human skin diseases caused by these Malassezia species, such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, onychomycosis, and transient acantholytic dermatosis.

Abstract: A stretchable bandage comprises a knitted fabric comprising a plurality of yarns (b), (c) of a first inelastic material, e.g. viscose knitted together with yarns (a}, (d), of a second elastically extensible material (e.g. elastane). As shown, the yarns may be knitted from a pair of yarns, one viscose (c) and one elastane (d) fed together and occupying a common yarn path, and separated from the next such pair of yarns by a viscose yarn (b) and an elastane yarn (a) fed separately as single yarns.

Abstract: Oleoyl estrone or estrone monooleate is a fatty-acid monoester of an estrogen which appear to be useful for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment and/or profilaxis of a human suffering from a metabolic disease selected from the group consisting of diabetes mellitus type 2, hyperlipidemia (hypertriacylglyceridemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia) and the Metabolic Syndrome X associated with glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, or insulin resistance. Compared with insulin, oleoyl-estrone has the advantage of being aministered orally. The effectiveness of oleoyl-estrone as oral antidiabetic is conspicuous since it does not act as a simple hypoglycemic agent, but goes to the root of the problem lowering insulin resistance. The additional hypolipemic effect allows to extend its use for the treatment of dislipemias.
