Abstract: A steel tower ring segment for a wind turbine tower section, to a wind turbine tower section, to a wind turbine tower and to a wind turbine, and also to methods for producing a steel tower ring segment and a wind turbine tower section. A steel tower ring segment for a wind turbine tower section, comprising a first casing segment with a segment height, a segment length in the segment circumferential direction, a first segment thickness, and a first horizontal joint side, wherein the first casing segment has a first thickening region in a region adjoining the first horizontal joint side, wherein the first thickening region has a first thickening thickness, and the first thickening thickness is larger than the first segment thickness, wherein the first thickening region has a first cutout, wherein the first cutout is arranged spaced apart from the first horizontal joint side, and wherein a first passage opening leads from the first cutout to the first horizontal joint side.

Abstract: A method for transporting a tower section of a wind turbine, comprising the steps of: providing a tower section which is adapted to be transported in a predetermined transport position, wherein the tower section when in the transport position has a longitudinal axis extending in the horizontal direction and a wall extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the tower section is adapted to adopt a first vertical height when in an unstressed state in the transport position, applying a deformation force to the wall so as to elastically deform at least one portion of the tower section in such a way that the tower section adopts a second vertical height that is smaller than the first vertical height when in an elastically deformed state in the transport position, and locking the tower section in the elastically deformed state.

Abstract: A method for recording at least one measured value, wherein the measured value is recorded by means of at least one measuring drone, and the measuring drone flies into a predefinable position to record the measured value, is held in the predefinable position by a position adjustment or its change in relation to the predefinable position is recorded, records the at least one measured value, and transmits the at least one recorded measured value or at least one value representing said recorded measured value to an evaluation device and/or stores said recorded measured value.

Abstract: There is provided a wind power installation pylon comprising a plurality of pylon segments which respectively have an upper and a lower horizontal flange. At least one of the plurality of the pylon segments has at least two longitudinal flanges. Each longitudinal flange has a first side for bearing against a first side of a further longitudinal flange and a second side to which the peripheral surface is welded, wherein the second side is opposite to the first side.

Abstract: A method for analyzing extracellular body fluids as to the presence of the Y-box protein YB-1 and fragments thereof, which are secreted by the cell, in order to determine inflammatory processes and malignant diseases in mammals. Also, it relates to the use of YB-1 as a marker and a kit for detecting YB-1, polypeptide fragments of YB-1, and combinations thereof. Also disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition which is used for treating inflammatory processes and malignant diseases and which contains the YB-1 protein, fragments of protein YB-1, and antibodies against the YB-1 protein and/or fragments of protein YB-1.
