Thermal and aerodynamic investigation of innovative cooling designs of blade tips by Coelho Vieira, JA

“…This thesis investigated the aerothermal performance of shroudless high-pressire tip geometries, at engine representative Mach and Reynolds numbers. The testing capability, accuracy and throughput of the Oxford High Speed Linear Cascade were improved by implementing a 4-hole fast-settling aerodynamic probe, an inlet traverse and dual component pressure sensitive paint, used to calculate temperature-corrected film cooling effectiveness distributions. …”

Ovarian ablation in early breast cancer: overview of the randomised trials by Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group

“…</p> <p><strong>Findings</strong> Among 2102 women aged under 50 when randomised, most of whom would have been premenopausal at diagnosis, 1130 deaths and an additional 153 recurrences were reported. 15-year survival was highly significantly improved among those allocated ovarian ablation (52·4 vs46·1%, 6·3 [SD 2·3] fewer deaths per 100 women, logrank 2p=0·001), as was recurrence-free survival (45·0 vs 39·0%, 2p=0·0007). The numbers of events were too small for any subgroup analyses to be reliable. …”
