The article presents the technology and process, whereby a small-scale demonstration model and the real-scale prototype of vertical axis wind turbine blades are produced using rapid prototyping technology (3DP) and GFRP surface coatings, which help to improve the mechanical properties. In the end of the article the results of the production process and the advantages of combining these technologies are presented.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play important roles in health and disease. PUFA levels are influenced by nutrition and genetic factors. The relationship between PUFA composition in red blood cells (RBCs) and genetic variations involved in PUFA metabolism has not been investigated in children with obesity. This study evaluated the association between several genetic variations and PUFA levels in RBCs in children with obesity. One hundred ninety-six children with obesity (101 females, 95 males) ...

Abstract Background Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified IGF1 , IRS1 , GCKR , PPARG , GCK1 and KCTD1 as candidate genes for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated the associations of these previously reported common variants in these genes with insulin resistance in overweight children from Romania and Moldova. Methods Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), IGF1 (rs35767), IRS1 (rs2943634), GCKR (rs780094), PPARG (rs1801282), GCK1 (rs1799884) and KCTD15 (rs29941), ...

Insulin resistance plays a major role in metabolic syndrome and is recognized as the most common risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Identifying predictors for insulin resistance could optimize screening and prevention.To evaluate the contribution of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms across genes related to NAFLD and choline metabolism, in predicting insulin resistance in children with obesity.One hundred fifty-three children with obesity (73 girls), aged 7-18 years, ...

Stroke is one of the main problems for health systems, being a major cause of mortality and the second leading cause of DALYs.Through the development of medicine in recent years, mortality caused by cerebral vascular events and physical dysfunction tend to decrease.This turns mental dysfunction into the main cause of concern for the health systems and implicitly for society.Global cognitive decline after stroke is common, with a prevalence of approximately 44% in the first 6 months after the acute ...

The major efforts in the space industry have the aim of finding ways to reduce the overall costs of developing and launching a spacecraft (S/C). In the current paper, structural optimization proves to be a possible answer for respecting the most decisive elements like mass reduction and minimum lead time, which translates into cost saving. This paper aims to present an end to end process of a topological optimized structure of a reusable re-entry vehicle section, manufactured using conventional methods. ...

The usual neoplastic dissease involving suprarenal glands are adrenal metastaes. The majority of suprarenal metastatic disease arise from lung cancer, followed by the stomach and colon cancer, oesophagus, the liver/bile ducts cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Invasive mammary carcinoma usually spreads to the bones, lungs, lymph nodes, liver and the brain. Adrenal gland metastases from invasive no special type carcinoma represents an extremly low rate number of cases. We discuss about a 66 year old ...
