The article is devoted to the feat of 57 fighters of the defenders of Stalingrad in the second half of October 1942. As part of eight Siberian divisions that took an active part in the defensive period of the Battle of Stalingrad, rifle division No. 112, formed in late 1941 - early 1942, distinguished itself. in the city of Tatarsk, Novosibirsk region. In July-August 1942, the 112th Rifle Division fought defensive battles in the Don area as part of the 64th and then the 62nd armies of the Stalingrad Front. During the formation of the 112th Rifle Division, Lieutenant Alexei Ochkin was appointed commander of the tank destroyer unit. For the battles in the bend of the Don, the lieutenant was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. By the end of August 1942, the 112th Rifle Division received reinforcements and on September 19-20, 1942, participated in the assault on Mamaev Kurgan, in which Aleksey Ochkin and his fighters bravely fought. On October 14, 1942, Hitler launched the third assault on Stalingrad by the troops of the Paulus army in order to throw the 62nd Army into the Volga and completely capture the territory of the city. The blow was struck on the northern flank of the 62nd Army, centered in the area of the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, which was defended by the 112th Rifle Division, the 95th Rifle Division, and the 37th Guards Rifle Division. After heavy fighting, the 37th Rifle Division was defeated, the 95th Rifle Division, drained of blood, retreated south to a neighboring factory, the remnants of the 112th Rifle Division were divided into separate resistance groups. Lieutenant Alexei Ochkin gathered the remaining fighters from different units, about 60 people in total, and took command of the group. For about a week they kept the defense on the banks of the Volga. When the replenishment approached, only 6 people remained from the detachment. The feat of this group went unnoticed. The author of the article is trying to understand why this happened and what was the fate of the remaining fighters from the "57 Immortals".

The rabies virus, which mostly originates from the bite of a sick dog or cat and spreads, kills tens of thousands of people each year, and it is super lethal, with almost no one surviving the infection, s so, everyone is afraid of it. The main body of the rabies virus is bullet-shaped, and each combination of proteins in it is an innate destroyer. From the destruction of cells by the G and M proteins to the transcription of the P and L proteins in concert with each other, the precision, and division of labor of the rabies virus are obvious. Of these, the L protein is the key to the operation of everything, and this paper will explore the destruction of each protein, thereby stopping the spread of RABV. In particular, the possibility that the L protein, unlike rabies vaccines currently on the market, might be a future drug design idea by destroying the structure of RABV after the virus enters the cell. Keywords: Rabies, RABV, Protein Matching, L protein.

AbstractComparing the Liao, the Chinggisid and the Qing successive incorporations of Inner Asia, this article is prepared to argue that the hereditary divisional system that these Inner Asian empires employed to incorporate and administer their nomadic population was the engine that generated what scholars see either as ‘tribes’ or ‘aristocratic order’. This divisional system, because of its hereditary membership and rulership, invariably tended to produce autonomous lordships with distinct names and identities unless the central government took measures to curb the tendency. Whenever the central power waned, these divisions emerged as independent powers in themselves and their lords as contenders for the central power. The Chinggisid power structure did not destroy any tribal order; instead, it destroyed and incorporated a variety of former Liao politico-administrative divisions into its own decimally organized minqans and transformed the former Liao divisions into quasi-political named categories of populace, the irgens, stripping them of their own politico-administrative structures. In turn, the Qing, in incorporating Mongolia, divided the remains of the Chinggisid divisions, the tümens and otogs, into khoshuu and transformed them into quasi-political ayimaqs. Thus, it was the logic of the imperial incorporation and the hereditary divisional system that produced multiple politico-administrative divisions and quasi-political identity categories.

Abstract This paper develops out of a specific event. In 2020, the town of Münsingen in the Swabian Alps commissioned its authors to write a historical report on the Italian Fascist Monterosa Division, focusing on its function and role in the German occupation of Italy from 1944 to 1945. The issue to be clarified was the extent to which the division was involved in war crimes during this period. The background to the request was a monument erected in 1986 in the Ehrenhain, Münsingen’s „grove of honour“, by the division’s veterans’ association (Associazione degli appartenenti alla divisione Monterosa). This monument has since led to repeated controversy and heated debate over its Fascist symbolism and the division’s involvement in anti-partisan warfare in Italy. Our paper focuses on the experience of officers in the Fascist regime, the division’s operations against partisans and at the front, its crimes, and the attempts of the veterans’ association in the post-war period to gain official recognition in both Germany and Italy. The Monterosa Mountain Division was created in 1943/1944 by Benito Mussolini’s Repubblica sociale italiana (RSI) as one of four military divisions to join front-line combat with the German Army in Italy. Largely composed of young conscripts from Northern Italy, its older non-commissioned officers had extensive war experience from the Italian occupation of Greece and the Balkans, and from the Eastern Front. Its commander, General Mario Carloni, was a hardliner, an energetic, ruthless, and politicised Fascist officer who after the collapse of the Italian state in 1943 chose to continue fighting for Mussolini’s side and to support the German occupation of Italy. German instructors trained the Monterosa Division in Münsingen. In late August 1944, it was sent to Italy and assigned to coastal defense duties on the east coast of Liguria, an area almost completely controlled by partisans. The division thus became involved in anti-partisan actions and began to take hostages, shoot civilians and prisoners of war, and destroy village houses. In 1951, a division association was founded, with former General Carloni as its honorary president. Until 2001, it tried in vain to gain recognition from the Associazione Nazionale Alpini (ANA), the most important veterans’ and reservists’ association of Italian mountain troops. In Germany, on the other hand, the former Monterosa soldiers found faster access to veterans’ associations. The first visit by former division members to Münsingen took place as early as 1952. In the 1970s, these visits became increasingly regular and were given official sanction. During the 1980s, the division association’s connections further expanded and ultimately resulted in the erection of a memorial to the fallen. In Germany, of all places, the RSI veterans received the recognition that was so difficult for them to obtain in their home country.

Abstract In the literature, the information structure of the hold-up problem is typically assumed to be exogenous. In this paper, we introduce an additional stage at which the head office may grant individual divisions access to an information system before they undertake their specific investments. Although more information ceteris paribus enhances each divisions’ profits, more information can reduce divisions’ investments and destroy synergies for the other division that would have been generated by the investments. If this negative effect dominates, then information can be harmful for the entire company. Hence, information control can be a subtle force to deal with the hold-up problem to a certain extent. In this paper we analyze those conditions under which information is either harmful or beneficial for central management.

e14633 Background: Genomic segments of oncogenic viruses, when found inside healthy cell nuclei, can induce changes in the cell’s own genome during division, creating a transmittable change of genetic information. The new malignant cells thus created are recognized as foreign and destroyed by cellular immunity Thymuslymphocytes. Otherwise, unrecognised by the immune system and allowed to breed abnormally, such cells result in a malignant tumour mass, diagnosed as cancer. Based on this original theoretical explanation, we achieved the successful synthetization of a human heterologous anticancer Bi-Vaccine, further successfully confirming its prophylactic and curative abilities through the laboratory and clinic treatment of voluntary patients. Methods: Thymuslymphocytes, prepared though in indoor in vitro cultures and equipped with new and selective genetic information, acquire the ability to recognize cancerous cells as foreign cells, destroying them anywhere in the human body.The Bi-vaccine has been produced as the union of two vaccines: 1.the antitoxin, anti-tumour vaccine which destroys free toxins in the blood stream and in the pertinent cancerous cells; and 2.the thymus lymphocytic vaccine, equipped with new selective genetic information to destroy malignant tumour cells. Results: Thus the Bi-vaccine cures cancer until complete healing and protects subjects of all ages against the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells. The Bi-vaccine is produced in its live and dry state. Results: Over the years, there are treated and cured hundreds of voluntary patients with various forms of cancer. Successful healing in casses with advanced cancer (incurable casses). The Bi-vaccine is patented by European patents office-EP 1523991B1 as an anti-cancer vaccine "Human Heterologous Anti-Cancer Bi-Vaccine”. Conclusions: After more studies of several decades of all cases with different forms of cancer, treated with the “Bi-vaccine”has confirmed a complete success in various forms of cancer.

"The requirements for protein synthesis and degradation, and the control of destruction of cyclins A and B in the meiotic and mitotic cell cycles of the clam embryo." Journal of Cell Biology 116, no. 3 (February 1, 1992): 707–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.116.3.707.
Full textAbstract:
Fertilization of clam oocytes initiates a series of cell divisions, of which the first three--meiosis I, meiosis II, and the first mitotic division--are highly synchronous. After fertilization, protein synthesis is required for the successful completion of every division except meiosis I. When protein synthesis is inhibited, entry into meiosis I and the maintenance of M phase for the normal duration of meiosis occur normally, but the chromosomes fail to interact correctly with the spindle in meiosis II metaphase. By contrast, inhibition of protein synthesis immediately after completion of meiosis or mitosis stops cells entering the next mitosis. We describe the behavior of cyclins A and B in relation to these "points of no return." The cyclins are synthesized continuously and are rapidly destroyed shortly before the metaphase-anaphase transition of the mitotic cell cycles, with cyclin A being degraded in advance of cyclin B. Cyclin destruction normally occurs during a 5-min window in mitosis, but in the monopolar mitosis that occurs after parthenogenetic activation of clam oocytes, or when colchicine is added to fertilized eggs about to enter first mitosis, the destruction of cyclin B is strongly delayed, whereas proteolysis of cyclin A is maintained in an activated state for the duration of metaphase arrest. Under either of these abnormal conditions, inhibition of protein synthesis causes a premature return to interphase that correlates with the time when cyclin B disappears.

Full textAbstract:
The paper investigates the existing mathematical models of insulation destruction. It has been determined that most of the models for assessing the residual life of insulation are based on models of thermal and thermo-oxidative destruction of insulation materials. Currently, solid dielectrics are gaining popularity, including crosslinked polyethylene, PVC, ethylene-propylene rubber, and others. In such dielectrics, it is possible to estimate the residual life in the short term. This possibility and necessity is due to the possibility of growth of tree defects under the influence of partial discharges. The article describes the proposed mathematical model for assessing the residual resource of insulation by modeling the growth of a defect. To take into account the influence of random variables, the model uses the Weibull distribution. The model assumes the division of the insulation thickness into some areas, each of which is destroyed independently of the others. The destruction of these areas occurs when partial discharges occur with certain energy sufficient to destroy the material. Insulation failure is predicted using the least squares method. The results obtained can be useful in assessing the residual life of insulating materials and in conducting research in this area

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: As recognized among the textual witnesses, the first word in Isa 15:5aβ, [inline-graphic 01i], has multiple meanings. The form can mean “her gate bars,” which coheres with the preceding verses concerning Moab’s destroyed cities (Isa 15:1–5a), or “her refugees,” which coheres with verses concerning the flight of Moab’s refugees (Isa 15:5b–9). Despite the polysemy evinced among the textual witnesses, [inline-graphic 01i] is generally translated as “her refugees” in modern scholarship. Moreover, some scholars have observed a unit division between vv. 4 and 5, further distancing the possibility of reading [inline-graphic 01i] in the context of vv. 1–4 and thus appreciating the polysemy of the word. Through the use of delimitation criticism, I argue that the ancient witnesses did not observe a unit division between vv. 4 and 5. Moreover, the double meanings of [inline-graphic 01i] hinge the chapter together, both reflecting on Moab’s destroyed cities (vv. 1–4) and anticipating the flight of her refugees (vv. 5–9).

"Role of the paraventricular nucleus in controlling the frequency of milk ejection and the facilitatory effect of centrally administered oxytocin in the suckled rat." Journal of Endocrinology 125, no. 3 (June 1990): 467—NP. http://dx.doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1250467.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The milk-ejection reflex was studied in anaesthetized, lactating Wistar rats in order to evaluate the contribution of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to the patterning of milk ejection and the facilitatory action of centrally administered oxytocin. In the first series of experiments, radiofrequency lesions were performed and centred: (1) antero-dorsal to the PVN, damaging parts of the medial septum and anterior hypothalamus; (2) in the PVN, such that much of the parvocellular division was destroyed, but parts of the magnocellular division remained intact; or (3) in the PVN, destroying both parvocellular and magnocellular divisions. Suckling tests performed before and after lesioning showed that the milk-ejection interval was significantly increased (decreased frequency) after lesioning in groups 2 and 3, but that milk-ejection amplitude was significantly decreased only in group 3. These results suggest that damage to the parvocellular division of the PVN affects milk-ejection frequency, but that damage to the magnocellular PVN only affects amplitude. Subsequent tests on rats injected into the PVN with the neurotoxin N-methyl-d,l-aspartate revealed a fall in the amplitude and frequency of milk ejection, similar to that after complete radiofrequency lesions of the PVN. In the second series of experiments, the facilitatory action of centrally administered oxytocin (1 mU, 2.2 ng) was examined in animals bearing either sham or complete PVN lesions. In both groups, intracerebroventricular injection of oxytocin was able to increase the frequency of milk ejections, although the incidence of milk ejection was lower in the pre- and post-injection period in the PVN-lesioned animals. In conclusion, the parvocellular component of the PVN may be an important site for regulating milk-ejection frequency, possibly mediated by its centrally projecting oxytocin neurones. However, the PVN does not appear to be the principle target site by which central oxytocin exerts its facilitatory effect on the frequency of milk ejection.

Full textAbstract:
During World War II, the United States Army employed a new weapon on the battlefield in an attempt to defeat German armor tactics: the tank destroyer. Tank Destroyer Force was created to stem the tide of German armored attacks and form an opening for American tanks to make their own counter-attacks. Since the end of the war, tank destroyer battalions have been regarded as a failed experiment, despite the evidence that they effectively did their jobs. The negative feedback in the immediate post-war period lead to the dissolution of the Tank Destroyer Force. Many of the studies of tank destroyers focus on the doctrine they followed and the faults in it. However, most of the studies do not look at the successful application of tank destroyer doctrine in the field by tank destroyer battalions. This paper will examine operations of the 773rd Tank Destroyer Battalion and its application of tank destroyer doctrine during the Battle of Chambois from August 17-21, 1944, for which it won a Presidential Unit Citation.

Why did Mary Shelley create THE myth of modern science on June 16, 1816? This essay explores the autobiographical and scientific origins of Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, focusing on the ways in which the sexual division of labor in 19th Century Britain shaped the novel. Victor Frankenstein’s project – to have a baby without a woman (and thus eliminate the biological necessity for females) – points to the myriad ways in which the women in the novel, from Elizabeth Lavenza, Caroline Beaufort, and Justine Moritz to the female creature, are de-valued or destroyed. But in Mary’s feminist novel, Mother Nature fights back, killing Victor and transforming his creature into a monster. Shelley’s novel implicitly argues that human beings must co-operate with rather than dominate the natural order of reproduction.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter maps the mid-century period of the Irish novel in terms of the various aesthetic choices which Irish writers took as they contended imaginatively with the contradictions and conundrums of modernity, and the specific form which these took in a postcolonial society. After all, James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) destroyed the conventions of literary realism in a carnivalesque conflagration. He also dismantled the linguistic structures of intelligibility that uphold this mode of representation, yet he simultaneously produced an interfusion of Irish history with world history and of world history with global myth. Thus, this chapter conceives of a distinction between experimentation and realism as a performative rather than a constative assertion. The advantage of this model is that it not only recalibrates the distinction between realism and modernism in Irish writing, but also dissolves any clean division between Irish writers critically surveying the condition of modern Ireland.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses the potential impact of Brexit on the Northern Ireland ‘peace process’, through a discussion of four interrelated issues—political divisions in Northern Ireland; the single market; the common travel area; and the Good Friday Agreement, all of which reflect the fundamental political divisions between Irish nationalists and those who believe that Northern Ireland should remain part of the UK. The chapter highlights two main threats to peace – the undermining of the Good Friday Agreement which is premised on membership of the EU and its institutional framework, and the crucial issue of where the inevitable hard border between the EU and the UK will be located. It argues that Brexit has the potential to destroy the peace process and suggests possible policy solutions to mitigate the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, while also assessing the political obstacles to the adoption of such flexible policy solutions.

AbstractBecause the violence that accompanies climate change has not yet drowned cities or created lasting destruction in the Global North, it looms in this region as a dark, yet still largely unrealized, Gothic prophesy. By contrast, poor communities in the Global South have long experienced the climate crisis as an immanent and palpable horror that destroys lives and communities. This chapter explores how Gothic horror disturbs this division by describing how the crisis brings horror also to privileged people in the Global North. Through a reading of the film Crawl (2019), the chapter shows how Gothic casts the Anthropocene as an immanent horror that touches all social strata, thus making it possible to imagine continued climate change as having a universally detrimental impact.

AbstractIn recent years, with the development of mobile terminals, geographic location has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its convenience in collection and its ability to reflect user profile. To protect user privacy, researchers have adopted local differential privacy in data collection process. However, most existing methods assume that location has already been discretized, which we found, if not done carefully, may introduces huge noise, lowering collected result utility. Thus in this paper, we design a differentially private location division module that could automatically discretize locations according to access density of each region. However, as the size of discretized regions may be large, if directly applying existing local differential privacy based attribute method, the overall utility of collected results may be completely destroyed. Thus, we further improve the optimized binary local hash method, based on personalized differential privacy, to collect user visit frequency of each discretized region. This solution improve the accuracy of the collected results while satisfying the privacy of the user’s geographic location. Through experiments on synthetic and real data sets, this paper proves that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy than the best known method under the same privacy budget.

The conditions of Thatcher’s 1980s exposes those on the Left to government attack. The miners, organised in the National Union of Mineworkers with Arthur Scargill as President, are perceived by Thatcher’s cabal as a primary enemy to be destroyed. The strike provoked by the government exposes divisions and hypocrisy in the UK Labour Movement. Nevertheless, the miners’ struggle constitutes a defence of communities and ways of life and there is huge support for them among socialists and large sections of the general public. To participate in this support is what our work is for. The aim is ‘efficacy’, an effect on the world beyond the theatre. Now we have to find our audience, amongst whom we could assume no prior knowledge of the social event of theatre. Our work will be for Cornish communities and will also be a working-class voice. Hard rock metal mining is a part of Cornwall—a fundamental aspect of how the Cornish see themselves. We will create a show to support the Miners’ Strike through the story of Cornish mining, in a form we call ‘cabaret documentary’. A39 will be a permanent research process. Part of the experiment is to find what we are as performers. We write and start rehearsing One & All! in the Crypt Unemployed and Community Centre in early 1985.

Abstract Starting with Adam Smith (1776) and David Ricardo (1817), economists have always viewed free international trade as a source of wealth and welfare gains. The voluntary exchange of commodities induces favorable patterns of specialization and, therefore, leads to an improvement in the international division of labor. Since each country is driven to utilize its comparative advantage and to produce what it can produce most efficiently, the global output is increased and gains from trade accrue to all countries. This optimistic view of free trade has been challenged both from inside the body of mainstream economic theory (e.g. the optimal-tariff and infant-industry arguments) and by outsiders like dependence theorists. It has survived these critiques, albeit with some qualifications. Knowing that there are some exceptions to the rule, most economists now accept the general validity of the free-trade principle, at least as a good rule of thumb e.g. see Krugman (1987). This view is now being challenged again, this time by environmentalists. ‘ Free Trade: The Great Destroyer’ is a title of a recent article by Morris (1990) in the Ecologist.

This chapter extends the argument to an outlier case—the Battle of Moscow—to explain the divergent performance of paired Soviet Rifle divisions during October–December 1941. Reconstructing divisional histories from declassified material, the chapter first chronicles the divergent fates of the 38th and 108th Rifle divisions after Germany launched Operation Typhoon in October 1941. It then turns to the 78th and 316th Rifle divisions during the renewed German offensive in early November, its eventual stalling out, and the subsequent Soviet counteroffensive in December. Battlefield outcomes, including the very survival of these divisions, tracks closely with their military inequality coefficients. Indeed, the two units with the highest level of inequality, namely the 38th and 316th Rifle divisions, were either destroyed completely or driven from frontline duties.

This chapter cites the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, which ordered for the desctruction of the communist Partisan army led by Marshal Tito. The first part of the operation “Fall Weiss” included the strategic encirclement of the main operational force of the National-Liberation Army in Bosnia. The chapter mentions that Tito's forces consisted of his Supreme Command, the first and second Proletarian Divisions, ninth Dalmatian Division, and two Krajina corps. The chapter analyzes Tito's order to destroy all the bridges, which protected his rear, cut off his own line of retreat, and counterattacked with his entire force. The Partisans were as many as the Germans and fought all day on Makljen mountain pass, which ultimately ended in a stalemate.

Abstract At dawn on April 6 the German army burst from Bulgaria into Yugoslavia and Greece, preceded by air attacks that destroyed the command and communication center of the Yugoslav army in Belgrade and 41,000 tons of shipping at Piraeus. This was blitzkrieg in its most stunning form carried on by fast, powerful, elite units-no less than six armored divisions, the Adolf Hitler and Das Reich SS Divisions, two other motorized divisions, and two mountain divisions-besides infantry.

This chapter looks at the eukaryotic cell cycle. This is divided into several phases: the first gap phase (G1), the DNA synthesis phase (S), the second gap phase (G2), and the mitotic or cell division phase (M). The chapter reviews progression through the phases. This depends on the synthesis of cyclin proteins specific for different phases. At the end of each phase the cyclins are destroyed by proteolysis. The cyclins are required to activate different cyclin-dependent protein kinases (Cdks) and determine which substrates a given kinase works on in each phase of the cycle. The chapter refers to the cyclin synthesis in G1, stating that it requires the receipt by the cell of a mitogenic signal from a growth factor or cytokine. After entering M phase, a further check is made to establish that all of the chromosomes are correctly placed on the mitotic spindle.

Incentives exist for replacing ships high pressure gas turbine emergency start air systems with auxiliary power units (APUs). The Allied Signal, Model GTCP 100-82 is one option. It is currently used in Naval aircraft start carts. Interest has been kindled in a shipboard application primarily for emergency starting Ship Service Gas Turbine Generator Sets. This APU is tested at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division facility in Philadelphia. The target ships for this application is the future addition to the DDG-51 Class, AEGIS Destroyers. Advantages from both financial and life cycle management perspectives are expected from standardized air and sea service. This APU application concept, and variations of it, are overtly suited to a broad array of similar installations.

Full textAbstract:
A mechanical start system has been developed to start the Ship’s Service Gas Turbine Generators (SSGTG) on board U.S. naval destroyers. The current starting system uses either stored high pressure air or bleed air from another running turbine. The U.S. Navy has reviewed the high pressure air system and found it to be a costly system for both ship construction and maintenance. As a result, the Navy is requiring an alternative starting method that will replace high pressure air. It should be noted that any alternative that introduces compressed air to start the SSGTG depends on the start air regulating assembly and the pneumatic starter. The Redundant Independent Mechanical Start System (RIMSS) consists of an Allison Model 250 turboshaft engine mounted above the SSGTG main reduction gearbox. The turboshaft power take off is connected to the pinion shaft of the reduction gearbox by means of a parallel shaft auxiliary transfer gearbox. The transfer gearbox connection to the reduction gearbox replaces the pneumatic starter adapter pad but provides a means to also connect the pneumatic starter. As a result, the pinion shaft can be driven either pneumatically by the air turbine or mechanically by the Model 250 engine. This provides an alternative starting mode which is totally independent of the present means of starting. This will increase the reliability and availability of the SSGTG since it can still be started even if the pressure regulator or the pneumatic starter is not functional. This system has undergone testing at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division facility in Philadelphia.

The Allison 501-K17 Ship Service Gas Turbine Generator Set (SSGTGS) is used is provide ship board electrical power on several U.S. Navy Class ships, including the DD-963 Spruance Destroyer, the DDG-993 Kidd Guided Missile Destroyer and CG-47 Ticonderoga Guided Missile Cruiser Classes. The first of these units were placed in service during the mid 1970s. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in conjunction with the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Ship Systems Engineering Station (NSWCCD-SSES) have undertaken a major upgrade effort to improve the reliability, operation, serviceability and maintainability of the unit. This paper examines the process of this program and details the specific improvements made to the unit as a result of this effort. In addition, this paper outlines the experience gained as a result of installing these upgrades in the Fleet.

Full textAbstract:
The WR-21 gas turbine engine will be employed by the Royal Navy and potentially by the United States and French Navies in their future Integrated Full Electric Powered Surface Combatants. The Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) advanced cycle means that in a Warship power system a single WR-21 engine sits on the throne of the realm that traditionally would have been occupied by two gas turbine engines, one for ‘cruise’ and one for ‘boost’; not forgetting that it is also doing the job of at least two diesel generators in our traditional example. This performance will provide Warship operators with an unprecedented opportunity to configure the Warship propulsion plant to return exceptional Platform Life Cycle Cost reductions in peacetime while retaining warfighting operational capability in time of conflict. The Royal Navy is the first user of the WR-21 ICR gas turbine engine in its Type 45 Air Defense destroyer, an artists impression of which is shown in Figure 1. The vessel is a 7500 tonne monohull, fitted with an integrated electric propulsion plant comprising two WR-21 Gas Turbine Alternators (GTAs), the prime mover side of which is capable of delivering 25 MW (ISO) and the Alternator side of which is rated at 21.6 MWe (0.9 pf lagging), 4.16KV. These GTAs in combination with a pair of diesel generators rated at around 2 MWe (0.9 pf lagging) will provide electrical power to two 20 MWe (0.9 pf lagging) 4.16 KV electric propulsion motors and to the ship’s non propulsion consumer electrical distribution system. Any combination of generator set can provide any consumer with electrical power. In their crudest form any generator set that forms part of the Type 45 power system may be simply regarded as Mega Watts towards the installed power total. The division of priority and delivery of power to meet the Command’s requirements will require skilful and subtle engineering of the control systems that will be used to operate the power system and precise definition of the operating philosophy and principles for the platform. In a Warship that has only four sources of electrical power the principles of survivability and prime mover independence are fundamental. The limitations of operating electrical generation machinery are established. This paper examines how the WR-21 will be capable of providing power to the Command of the Type 45 as an integral part of the Warship power system in all states of operational readiness for war.

The MT30 marine gas turbine has been developed specifically for 21st century naval propulsion using modern techniques and methods. Design and development of the MT30 began in 1999 and has since been qualified for naval service following extensive testing. Since then the engine has rapidly been adopted by progressive navies, in both its mechanical and electrical power generation configuration. The Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is one of a new class of United States Navy (USN) fast combatants which has been at sea for more than six years and is powered by the MT30. A combined MT30-driven generator was selected for the new USN DDG1000 Zumwalt class of destroyer and has also been successfully installed into the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier. Most recently, the MT30 Compact Package has been selected to power the Royal Navy’s Type 26 Global Combat Ship which will be built by BAE Systems. The MT30 Compact Package has been designed with the aim of powering modern warship programmes, with the result that it is currently the World’s most power dense in-service marine gas turbine. This is an important factor in naval propulsion where delivering a high power output in a compact space is essential. In addition to the programmes stated above, the MT30 Compact Package was selected for the new Republic of Korea Navy’s (RoKN) frigate programme with a single-GT CODLOG hybrid arrangement consisting of propulsion motors and a Diesel-electric system. As a result, Rolls Royce was selected by the RoKN to deliver the MT30 Gas Turbine Unit and, from a preliminary Rolls-Royce compact package design, the engine and machinery division of Hyundai Heavy Industry (HHI-EMD) has developed the Compact Package for the New Korea Frigate. The MT30 GT was delivered to the HHI-EMD facility in 2014 with the surrounding Compact Package built at HHI-EMD before onward delivery to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) where construction of the first frigate will take place. This paper provides the rationale for selection of the MT30 Compact Package for the New Korea Frigate Programme and also describes the development of the MT30 Compact Package; aspects of the design process, construction of the Compact Package and the factory acceptance test conducted at the HHI-EMD facility.

Full textAbstract:
The use of turbocharging systems for spark-ignition engines has seen increased interest in recent years due to the importance of fuel efficiency, and in some cases, increased performance. An example of a possible strategy is to use a smaller displacement engine with turbocharging rather than a larger engine without turbocharging. To better understand the tradeoffs and the fundamental aspects of a turbocharged engine, this investigation is aimed at determining the energy and exergy quantities for a range of operating conditions for a spark-ignition engine. A 3.8 liter automotive engine with a turbocharger and intercooler was selected for this study. Various engine performance and other output parameters were determined as functions of engine speed and load. For the base case (2000 rpm and a bmep of 1200 kPa), the bsfc was about 240 g/kW-h. At these conditions, the second law analysis indicated that the original fuel exergy was distributed as follows: 34.7% was delivered as indicated work, 16.9% was moved via heat transfer to the cylinder walls, 23.0% exited with the exhaust gases, 20.6% was destroyed during the combustion process, 2.5% was destroyed due to inlet mixing processes, and 1.9% was destroyed due to the exhaust processes. The turbocharger components including the intercooler were responsible for less than 1.0% of the fuel exergy destruction or transfer.

Full textAbstract:
State-of-the art engine technologies are susceptible to high cycle-to-cycle variability. Researchers have successfully used Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to capture this cyclic variation with CFD. However, LES is computationally expensive. The current work demonstrates that using RANS turbulence models can also exhibit cyclic variation if the simulation approach minimizes numerical viscosity. This is accomplished by using fine mesh resolution, non-morphing mesh motion, higher-order accurate numerical schemes, and small timesteps. RANS turbulence models act to destroy time-varying smaller eddies and replace the mixing effects of these eddies with enhanced viscosity. In an IC engine, larger-scale eddies can change from cycle to cycle, and may not be small enough to be dampened out by the RANS turbulence viscosity. By minimizing the numerical viscosity, the length scale at which eddies are destroyed is reduced and more structure is seen in the simulated flowfield. If the injection and combustion strategy in an engine is susceptible to cyclic changes in these large-scale eddies, then cyclic variation will be apparent in the simulation when using a RANS model. This work will also demonstrate that perturbations in initial conditions, boundary conditions, or numerical settings can give run-to-run variability in simulation consistent with cycle-to-cycle variability in an actual engine. For the current work, three studies are performed to show that the use of a RANS turbulence model does not always yield an ensemble average result. One of the studies is a basic cylinder-in-cross-flow case. The other two studies are for engines. One of the engine studies focuses on global mixing parameters and compares to TCC (Transparent Combustion Chamber) experimental data. The other engine study looks at cycle-to-cycle variation in combustion predictions.

The most simple and effective method for destroying chemical weapons, and thus eliminating stockpiling problems, is to detonate the entire payload in a chamber without separating the chemical agent from the explosives. A double walled chamber was developed by Kobe Steel, Ltd. (KSL) and has destroyed more than 7000 chemical weapons throughout the world since 2000. Explosion analysis (by AUTODYN) and dynamic structural analysis (by LS-DYNA) performed during development of the chamber design are presented with the experimental results. Design of the latest version of the double walled chamber was evaluated in accordance with the ASME Code Section VIII, Division 3 and Code Case 2564 based on the results of dynamic analysis and measured strains.

Full textAbstract:
There are the inevitable occasions when something goes wrong despite the great care taken when engines are designed, built, operated and serviced. Failures can lead at best to some cost and inconvenience or at the worst to a totally destroyed engine. The cost of repairs, followed sometimes by many weeks of down time, can be enormous. In addition there is the critical question of safety and the risk of injury to personnel. By analyzing failures and their causes a lot of experience can be gained and used to the benefit of all. This experience can improve future products. The paper describes some failures which have been experienced by the authors and shows how an analysis of the evidence has identified the root cause. We show how the knowledge gained improves our ability to predict engine behavior and the stress field in the components concerned. The paper goes on to describe what measures can be taken to improve the product and to prevent the circumstances from happening again. The use of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is described because experience gained from failures can make this an extremely powerful tool when used during the design process.
