Effect of Leading-Edge Roughness on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Wind Turbine blade
Abstract: Leading-Edge Roughness (LER) strongly dictates boundary layer transition and performance degradation on an airfoil operating at transitional Reynolds numbers, an aerodynamic regime where shear-layer stability mechanisms remain highly complex. The wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic impacts of surface roughness applied over 25% of the chord of a NACA 0018 airfoil using two discrete roughness gradations. Surface roughness induces an early boundary layer trip, causing elevated section …

Towards smart cancer care - AI enhanced monitoring and intervention
Abstract: According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) for 2022, cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality, accounting for roughly 16% of all deaths globally. The goal of the cancer community is to improve the lives of those who are impacted by cancer and to cut the cancer death rate in half during the next several years. If cancer is identified early and treated, its impact on …
