A adequada modelagem da infiltração de água no solo é fundamental para estimação do movimento de água, erosão hídrica, recarga e contaminação de aquíferos. Este trabalho apresenta um modelo para estimativa da infiltração de água no solo (GAML-c), com base no modelo de Green-Ampt-Mein-Larson, que provê descrição da geometria e do deslocamento da frente de umedecimento no solo. Testes experimentais foram conduzidos em Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo para avaliar o GAML-c, usando-se quatro diferentes cenários: considerando a condutividade hidráulica do solo igual à taxa de infiltração estável (Tie) e a umidade máxima do solo igual ao teor de água na zona de transmissão (θw) (TW); condutividade hidráulica do solo igual à do solo saturado (K0) e a umidade máxima do solo igual θw (KW); condutividade hidráulica do solo igual à Tie e a umidade máxima do solo igual ao teor de água na saturação (θs) (TS); e condutividade hidráulica do solo igual a K0 e a umidade máxima do solo igual θs (KS). Verificou-se que o GAML-c no cenário TW foi o melhor estimador do perfil de umidade do solo, resultando em aceitáveis estimativas da infiltração de água.

O sistema de plantio direto atingiu, no Estado do Paraná, cerca de dois milhões de hectares, nos últimos anos, e um dos seus principais entraves é a falta de semeadoras-adubadoras apropriadas para operação em solos argilosos e de origem basáltica. Portanto, estudou-se a MAGNUM 2850 PD quanto à demanda energética e desempenho operacional, com a finalidade de oferecer subsídios ao seu aperfeiçoamento, de acordo com a realidade paranaense. Observou-se que o esforço de tração variou em função da umidade e características mecânicas do solo, atingiu valores elevados, e exigiu, em situações extremas, potência de até 79,5 kW do trator. Os componentes de ataque ao solo mostraram um bom desempenho no corte da vegetação e na uniformidade da profundidade de trabalho, porém apresentaram grande área mobilizada no sulco. Obteve-se boa qualidade de semeadura, avaliada pela porcentagem e velocidade de emergência das sementes no campo. Foram identificados erros de dosagem do fertilizante e deposição das sementes, e principalmente na velocidade de deslocamento de 8,0 km/h; porém, foi boa a uniformidade transversal das sementes e plantas no campo.

In the last two decades, anti-cancer vaccines have yielded disappointing clinical results despite the fact that high numbers of self/tumor-specific T cells can be elicited in immunized patients. Understanding the reasons behind this lack of efficacy is critical in order to design better treatment regimes. Recombinant lentivectors (rLVs) have been successfully used to induce antigen-specific T cells to foreign or mutated tumor antigens. Here, we show that rLV expressing a murine nonmutated self/tumor antigen efficiently primes large numbers of self/tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells. In spite of the large number of tumor-specific T cells, however, no anti-tumor activity could be measured in a therapeutic setting, in mice vaccinated with rLV. Accumulating evidence shows that, in the presence of malignancies, inhibition of T-cell activity may predominate overstimulation. Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes revealed that specific anti-tumor CD8(+) T cells fail to produce cytokines and express high levels of inhibitory receptors such as programmed death (PD)-1. Association of active immunization with chemotherapy or antibodies that block inhibitory pathways often leads to better anti-tumor effects. We show here that combining rLV vaccination with either cyclophosphamide or PD-1 and PD-L1 blocking antibodies enhances rLV vaccination efficacy and improves anti-tumor immunity.

AIM: This study evaluates the effect of front suspension (FS) and dual suspension (DS) mountain-bike on performance and vibrations during off-road uphill riding. METHODS: Thirteen male cyclists (27+/-5 years, 70+/-6 kg, VO(2max)59+/-6 mL.kg(-1).min(-1), mean+/-SD) performed, in a random sequence, at their lactate threshold, an off-road uphill course (1.69 km, 212 m elevation gain) with both type of bicycles. Variable measured: a) VO(2) consumption (K4b2 analyzer, Cosmed), b) power output (SRM) c) gain in altitude and d) 3-D accelerations under the saddle and at the wheel (Physilog, EPFL, Switzerland). Power spectral analy- sis (Fourier) was performed from the vertical acceleration data. RESULTS: Respectively for the FS and DS mountain bike: speed amounted to 7.5+/-0.7 km.h(-1) and 7.4+/-0.8 km.h(-1), (NS), energy expenditure 1.39+/-0.16 kW and 1.38+/-0.18, (NS), gross efficiency 0.161+/-0.013 and 0.159+/-0.013, (NS), peak frequency of vibration under the saddle 4.78+/-2.85 Hz and 2.27+/-0.2 Hz (P<0.01) and median-frequency of vertical displacements of the saddle 9.41+/-1.47 Hz and 5.78+/-2.27 Hz (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Vibrations at the saddle level of the DS bike are of low frequencies whereas those of the FS bike are mostly of high frequencies. In the DS bike, the torque produced by the cyclist at the pedal level may generate low frequency vibrations. We conclude that the DS bike absorbs more high frequency vibrations, is more comfortable and performs as well as the FS bicycle.

A transportable, whole body indirect calorimeter, designed for use in the tropics, is described. The calorimeter was built to study energy expenditure of people having chronically or acutely low levels of food intake, and it will help to determine energy adaptations made by individuals with restricted food intake. The calorimeter comprises two units: a 27 m3 ventilated chamber connected to an office housing control and monitoring equipment. The system also allows the experimenter to assess the rate of energy expenditure by means of a ventilated hood or a baby respiration chamber. The incoming air flow rate is variable and is typically set at approximately 30 l/min. Carbon dioxide production (VCO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) are continuously monitored by means of differential gas analysers via a computerized data acquisition unit. Gas production/consumption rates are measured with a delay of 80 s, the complete response to step changes in VCO2 or VO2 consumption being calculated over 15 min using the rate of change terms in the gas exchange equations. The total electrical power required for the whole system is 12 kW. The calorimeter has been functioning for nearly 4 years in a rural village of The Gambia during which ambient temperatures have ranged from 16 to 44 degrees C and dewpoints from -8 to 24 degrees C. The performance and accuracy of the calorimeter were tested using 20 per cent CO2 in N2 infusion and butane burning. Agreement between the theoretical and the measured values was found to be 99 per cent for VO2 and 100 per cent for VCO2 with a precision for both gases of +/- 10 ml/min over a 1-h period.

The integration of electric motors and industrial appliances such as pumps, fans, and compressors is rapidly increasing. For instance, the integration of an electric motor and a centrifugal pump provides cost savings and improved performance characteristics. Material cost savings are achieved when an electric motor is integrated into the shaft of a centrifugal pump, and the motor utilizes the bearings of the pump. This arrangement leads to a smaller configuration that occupies less floor space. The performance characteristics of a pump drive can be improved by using the variable-speed technology. This enables the full speed control of the drive and the absence of a mechanical gearbox and couplers. When using rotational speeds higher than those that can be directly achieved by the network frequency the structure of the rotor has to be mechanically durable. In this thesis the performance characteristics of an axial-flux solid-rotor-core induction motor are determined. The motor studied is a one-rotor-one-stator axial-flux induction motor, and thus, there is only one air-gap between the rotor and the stator. The motor was designed for higher rotational speeds, and therefore a good mechanical strength of the solid-rotor-core rotor is required to withstand the mechanical stresses. The construction of the rotor and the high rotational speeds together produce a feature, which is not typical of traditional induction motors: the dominating loss component of the motor is the rotor eddy current loss. In the case of a typical industrial induction motor instead the dominating loss component is the stator copper loss. In this thesis, several methods to decrease the rotor eddy current losses in the case of axial-flux induction motors are presented. A prototype motor with 45 kW output power at 6000 min-1 was designed and constructed for ascertaining the results obtained from the numerical FEM calculations. In general, this thesis concentrates on the methods for improving the electromagnetic properties of an axial-flux solid-rotor-core induction motor and examines the methods for decreasing the harmonic eddy currents of the rotor. The target is to improve the efficiency of the motor and to reach the efficiency standard of the present-day industrial induction motors equipped with laminated rotors.

The research of condition monitoring of electric motors has been wide for several decades. The research and development at universities and in industry has provided means for the predictive condition monitoring. Many different devices and systems are developed and are widely used in industry, transportation and in civil engineering. In addition, many methods are developed and reported in scientific arenas in order to improve existing methods for the automatic analysis of faults. The methods, however, are not widely used as a part of condition monitoring systems. The main reasons are, firstly, that many methods are presented in scientific papers but their performance in different conditions is not evaluated, secondly, the methods include parameters that are so case specific that the implementation of a systemusing such methods would be far from straightforward. In this thesis, some of these methods are evaluated theoretically and tested with simulations and with a drive in a laboratory. A new automatic analysis method for the bearing fault detection is introduced. In the first part of this work the generation of the bearing fault originating signal is explained and its influence into the stator current is concerned with qualitative and quantitative estimation. The verification of the feasibility of the stator current measurement as a bearing fault indicatoris experimentally tested with the running 15 kW induction motor. The second part of this work concentrates on the bearing fault analysis using the vibration measurement signal. The performance of the micromachined silicon accelerometer chip in conjunction with the envelope spectrum analysis of the cyclic bearing faultis experimentally tested. Furthermore, different methods for the creation of feature extractors for the bearing fault classification are researched and an automatic fault classifier using multivariate statistical discrimination and fuzzy logic is introduced. It is often important that the on-line condition monitoring system is integrated with the industrial communications infrastructure. Two types of a sensor solutions are tested in the thesis: the first one is a sensor withcalculation capacity for example for the production of the envelope spectra; the other one can collect the measurement data in memory and another device can read the data via field bus. The data communications requirements highly depend onthe type of the sensor solution selected. If the data is already analysed in the sensor the data communications are needed only for the results but in the other case, all measurement data need to be transferred. The complexity of the classification method can be great if the data is analysed at the management level computer, but if the analysis is made in sensor itself, the analyses must be simple due to the restricted calculation and memory capacity.

Taajuusmuuttajaohjatuissa nosturikäytöissä taakkaa laskettaessa syntyvä energia on muutettava lämmöksi jarruvastuksissa tai syötettävä takaisin sähköverkkoon esimerkiksi verkkovaihtosuuntaajalla. Verkkovaihtosuuntaajaa on tyypillisesti käytetty suurissa satamanostureissa, joiden tehontarve on yli 1000 kW. Työssä tutkitaan useista yhteiseen välipiiriin rinnankytketyistä nimellisteholtaan 250 kW:n verkkovaihtosuuntaajista koostuvan verkkoonjarrutuslaitteiston soveltuvuutta nosturikäyttöön. Lisäksi johdetaan yhtälöt verkkoonjarrutuslaitteiston virran laskemiseksi, kun nosturin mekaaniset arvot tunnetaan. Viidestä erityyppisestä nosturista esitellään esimerkkitoteutus rinnankytketyillä verkkovaihtosuuntaajilla. Aiemmin vastusjarruttavina toteutettujen nostureiden kustannuksia verrataan verkkovaihtosuuntaajilla toteutettuihin ratkaisuihin. Esimerkkinostureista esitetään nosturin työsykliin perustuva arvio verkkoonjarrutuksen tuomasta energian säästöstä. Tehtyjen mittausten perusteella käytetty menetelmä verkkovaihtosuuntaajien rinnan kytkemiseksi osoittautui nosturikäytössä toimivaksi. Kustannuslaskelmien perusteella verkkovaihtosuuntaajalla toteutetusta nosturista tulee materiaalikustannuksiltaan vastusjarruttavaa kalliimpi, vaikka paljon tilaa vievät vastuskaapit voidaankin jättää pois.

High reflectivity and high thermal conductivity, high vapour pressure of alloyingelements as well as low liquid surface tension and low ionisation potential, make laser welding of aluminium and its alloys a demanding task.Problems that occur during welding are mainly process instabilities of the keyhole and the melt pool, increased plasma formation above the melt pool and loss of alloying elements. These problems lead to unwanted metallurgical defects like hot cracks and porosity in the weld bead andother problems concerning the shape and appearance of the weld bead. In order to minimise the defects and improve the weld quality, the process and beam parameters need to be carefully adjusted along with a consideration concerning the use of filler wire for the welding process. In this work the welding of 3,0 mm thick grade 5083 aluminium alloy plates using a 3,0 kW Nd:YAG laser with grade 5183 filler wire addition is investigated. The plates were welded as butt joints with air gap sizes 0,5 mm, 0,7mm and 1,0 mm. The analysis of the weld beads obtained from the weldedsamples showed that the least imperfections were produced with 0,7 mm air gaps at moderate welding speeds. The analysis also covered the calculation of the melting efficiency and the study of the shape of the weld bead. The melting efficiency was on average around 20 % for the melting process of the welded plates. The weld beads showed the characteristic V-shape of a laser weld and retained this shape during the whole series of experiments.

Ydinvoimaloidenprimaarivesikierron puhdistukseen käytetään ioninvaihtohartsia. Käytönjälkeen ioninvaihtohartsi luokitellaan matalaja keskiaktiivisiin jätteisiin. Plasmakäsittelyllä käytetyn ioninvaihtohartsin tilavuutta voidaan pienentää sekä sen orgaaninen luonne poistaa. Plasmakäsittelyn tarkoituksena on hapettaa orgaaninen aines oksideiksi, jotka poistuvat prosessista savukaasuina. Epäorgaaninen aines, joka sisältää radioaktiivisen aineksen, on tarkoitus hapettaa oksideiksi ja sulfideiksi, jotka voidaan kerätä talteen tuhkana. Tässä diplomityössä käsitellään käytetyn ioninvaihtohartsin käsittelyyn suunnitellun plasmapolttoprosessin kehittämistä ja optimointia. Ioninvaihtohartsin plasmakäsittelyssä syntyvien reaktiotuotteiden selvittäminen suoritettiin tarkastelemalla ainetaseita sekä aihetta käsitteleviä tutkimuksia. Näiden perusteella parannettiin jäähdytystä, suunniteltiin jatkuvatoiminen syöttömenetelmä sekä laadittiin toimintaalueen reunaehdot laitteistolle. Koelaitteistossa 6,5 kW:n rfteho syötetään sovitinpiirin ja kuparisen induktiokelan kautta plasmaan. Plasmakaasuna on käytetty hapenja argonin seoskaasua. Plasmapolttoa on seurattu massaspektrometrilla, optisella emissiospektrometrilla, lämpösekä painemittareilla. Laskennan ja kokeiden pohjalta selvitettiin optimaalinen seossuhde plasmakaasulle, paineen ja tehon noston vaikutus hartsin polttonopeuteen sekä jatkuvatoimisen syöttömenetelmän edut panostoimiseen syöttöön. Rfgeneraattorin teho rajoitti jatkuvatoimisen polttonopeuden 130 g/h ja hetkellisen polttonopeuden 175 g/h. Radioaktiivisten aineiden pidätys oli 93,5 % cesiumin osalta. Tulosten perusteella 4 kg/h ioninvaihtohartsia polttavan laitteiston tehon lähteeksi tarvitaan 65 kW rfgeneraattori. Palamattoman hartsin ja tuhkan kulkeutuminen partikkelisuodattimille sekä reaktiotuotteena syntyvien rikinoksidien käsittely vaatii vielä jatkotutkimusta.

Diplomityössä tutkitaan, miten diodilaserhitsauksen ominaisuuksia ja mahdollisuuksia voidaan hyödyntää teollisuuden käytännön sovellutuksissa. Työn alkuosassa esitelläändiodilaserin toimintaperiaatetta ja säteen muodostumista. Lisäksi työssä on esitetty laserin käyttöön liittyviä turvallisuusseikkoja. Hitsaukseen liittyviä teknisiä seikkoja on myös käyty läpi. Työn kokeellisessa osassa tutkitaan kylmävalssatun ja ruostumattoman teräksen hitsattavuutta eri liitosmuodoissa kuten päittäis-, laippa- ja päällekkäisliitoksissa. Hitsauskokeet suoritettiin eri paksuisille levyille. Tavoitteena oli löytää eri levymateriaaleille ja liitosmuodoille oikeat nopeus- ja tehoparametrit. Diodilaserkokeet suoritettiin käyttäen Hämeen ammattikorkeakoulun Riihimäen yksikön 2 kW:n tehoista diodilaserlaitteistoa. Koekappaleet olivat 100 x 200 mm kokoisia. Osalle hitsatuista kappaleista tehtiin vetokokeita ja mikrokovuuskokeita. Hitseille tehtiin silmämääräinen tarkastus ja lisäksi tutkittiin hitsejä mikroskooppikuvauksella. Koekappaleita hitsaamalla selvitettiin teho- ja nopeusparametrit. Hitsattaessa kylmävalssattuja levyjä muodostui hitsausvirheitä T- ja päittäisliitoksissa. Hitsausvirheet huomattiin, kun suoritettiin vetokokeita ja tehtiin hietä. Mutta yleensä kylmävalssattujen levyjen hitsaus onnistui moitteettomasti. Kun hitsaukset suoritettiin käyttämällä ruostumatonta terästä, hitsausvirheitä ei muodostunut, kuten kylmävalssattuihin levyihin. Ruostumattomien terästen hitsaus onnistui moitteettomasti. Tunkeuma molemmissa levytyypeissä oli hyvä. Todettiin, että levyt hitsautuivat yhteen hitsauksen alussa moitteettomasti, mutta loppuosa ei hitsautunut kunnolla, koska lämpötilanmuutos muokkasi levyjen muotoja.

Tässä loppuraportissa esitetään projektin "Kannattavuusanalyysi ORC-voimalan soveltamisesta hyödyntämään dieselvoimalan hukkalämpöä, Tekes DrNo 1549/401/98" tulokset. ORC-prosessilla (Organic Rankine Cycle) tarkoitetaan Rankine-prosessia, jossakiertoaineena veden asemesta on sopiva orgaaninen neste, esimerkiksi tolueeni. ORC-prosessi soveltuu hyvin nimenomaan matalalla lämpötilatasolla vapautuvan hukkalämmön hyödyntämiseen. Tutkimus liittyy vuonna 1981 aloitettuun suurnopeustekniikan tutkimushankkeeseen. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana oli tropiikin olosuhteissa peruskuormaa ajava raskasöljykäyttöinen Wärtsilä NSD 18V46 voimalaitosmoottori, jonka hukkalämmöistä tuli kyetä tuottamaan sähköä mahdollisimman alhaisilla investointikustannuksilla. Kaukolämmöntuotanto rajattiin tämän selvityksen ulkopuolelle. Edullisimmaksi perustapaukseksi valittiin seitsemän turbogeneraattorin ORC-laitos, joka hyödyntää ainoastaan moottorin pakokaasulämpöä. Kyseisen ORC-laitoksen nettosähköteho on 1142 kW, joten se lisäisi dieselmoottorin tehoa 6,8 %. ORC-laitoksen myyntihinta olisi noin 7,67 Mmk, mikäli lauhdutin voidaan rakentaa ruostumattomasta teräksestä ja noin 9,01 Mmk, mikäli olisi käytettävä titaanilauhdutinta. ORC-laitoksen ominaisinvestointikustannus olisi siten noin 6700 mk/kW - 7900 mk/kW materiaalivalinnoista riippuen. Mainittu hinta sisältää sekä komponenttien valmistajien että systeemi-integraattorin katteet. Koska höyrystimen hinta vaikuttaa olennaisesti ORC-laitoksen hintaan, voidaan puhtailla maakaasupolton savukaasuilla arvioida ominaisinvestoinnin olevan noin 1000 mk/kW alhaisempi. Olettaen 6000 h/a huipun käyttöaika saadaan ORC:llä tuotetun sähkön hinnaksi noin 0,11 mk/kWh. Suomeen rakennettavalle ORC-laitokselle on todennäköisesti lisäksi saatavissa 30 % investointituki ja sähköveron palautus. - Teoriassa voidaan osoittaa, että dieselmoottorin tehoa voidaan ORC:llä lisätä jopa 18 %, mutta ominaisinvestointi on tällöin merkittävästi korkeampi. ORC-laitoksen turbiinin 1D suunnittelua tarkennettiin sekä laitoksen turbiini mallinnettiin CFD-laskennan (numeerisen virtauslaskennan) avulla osana tätä tutkimusta. Näin kyettiin nostamaan turbiinin hyötysuhdetta, ja CFD-laskennan perusteella voidaan nyt aikaisempaa varmemmin ennustaa turbiinin todellinen hyötysuhde. ORC-laitoksen dynaaminen simulointiohjelma saatiin niin ikään valmiiksi tämän projektin puitteissa. Simulointiohjelman avulla voitiin asettaa laitoksen säädinparametrit sekä simuloida voimalan käynnistys-, ajo- sekä häiriötilanteita. Tehtyjen simulointien perusteella tehtiin johtopäätökset laitoksen säätöjärjestelmän toimivuudesta ja tuorehöyryn tilaarvojen valinnasta.

The solid-rotor induction motor provides a mechanically and thermally reliable solution for demanding environments where other rotor solutions are prohibited or questionable. Solid rotors, which are manufactured of single pieces of ferromagnetic material, are commonly used in motors in which the rotationspeeds exceed substantially the conventional speeds of laminated rotors with squirrel-cage. During the operation of a solid-rotor electrical machine, the rotor core forms a conductor for both the magnetic flux and the electrical current. This causes an increase in the rotor resistance and rotor leakage inductance, which essentially decreases the power factor and the efficiency of the machine. The electromagnetic problems related to the solid-rotor induction motor are mostly associated with the low performance of the rotor. Therefore, the main emphasis in this thesis is put on the solid steel rotor designs. The rotor designs studied in thisthesis are based on the fact that the rotor construction should be extremely robust and reliable to withstand the high mechanical stresses caused by the rotational velocity of the rotor. In addition, the demanding operation environment sets requirements for the applied materials because of the high temperatures and oxidizing acids, which may be present in the cooling fluid. Therefore, the solid rotors analyzed in this thesis are made of a single piece of ferromagnetic material without any additional parts, such as copper end-rings or a squirrel-cage. A pure solid rotor construction is rigid and able to keep its balance over a large speed range. It also may tolerate other environmental stresses such as corroding substances or abrasive particles. In this thesis, the main target is to improve the performance of an induction motor equipped with a solid steel rotor by traditional methods: by axial slitting of the rotor, by selecting a proper rotor core material and by coating the rotor with a high-resistive stainless ferromagnetic material. In the solid steel rotor calculation, the rotor end-effects have a significant effect on the rotor characteristics. Thus, the emphasis is also put on the comparison of different rotor endfactors. In addition, a corrective slip-dependent end-factor is proposed. The rotor designs covered in this thesis are the smooth solid rotor, the axially slitted solid rotor and the slitted rotor having a uniform ferromagnetic coating cylinder. The thesis aims at design rules for multi-megawatt machines. Typically, mega-watt-size solidrotor machines find their applications mainly in the field of electric-motor-gas-compression systems, in steam-turbine applications, and in various types of largepower pump applications, where high operational speeds are required. In this thesis, a 120 kW, 10 000 rpm solid-rotor induction motor is usedas a small-scale model for such megawatt-range solid-rotor machines. The performance of the 120 kW solid-rotor induction motors is determined by experimental measurements and finite element calculations.
