  • Publication number: 20200378400
    Abstract: A rotor for a turbomachine includes a disc and a plurality of blades fixed to the disc. Each blade of the plurality of blades is fixed to the disc via a lattice structure configured so that a tensile force applied to the lattice structure induces a change in the angle of incidence of the blade. The blades and the lattice structures are configured so that: (i) when the rotor is stationary, the distribution of the angles of incidence of the blades around the disc is aperiodic, and (ii) when the rotor is rotating at a predetermined rotational speed, the angles of incidence of the blades are identical.

  • Publication number: 20190331687
    Abstract: Diagnostic methods for predicting whether a human tumor is sensitive to treatment with axitinib, and methods of treating a human tumor are disclosed. The methods are based on measurement of CD68 polypeptide expression levels in a tissue sample from a tumor. CD68 expression levels can be measured using immunohistochemistry, where the percentage of CD68-positive cells and density of CD68-positive cells within the tumor can be determined.
