Authors: Vlad, María Daniela; Valle Mendoza, Luis Javier del; Poeata, I.; López López, José; Torres Cámara, Ricardo; Barraco Serra, Marc; Fernández Aguado, Enrique
Abstract: In this study, the cytocompatibility of new ‘iron-modified/alpha-tricalcium phosphate&#xD;
(IM/α-TCP) and calcium sulfate dihydrate (CSD)’ bone cement (IM/α-TCP/CSD-BC)&#xD;
intended for spinal applications has been approached. The objective was to investigate by direct-contact osteoblast-like cell cultures (from 1 to 14 days) the in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation, morphology and cytoskeleton organization of MG-63 cells seeded onto the new cements. The results were as follows: (a) quantitative MTT-assay and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that cell adhesion, proliferation and viability were not affected with time by the presence of iron in the cements; (b) double immunofluorescent labeling of F-actin and α-tubulin showed a dynamic interaction between the cell and its porous substrates&#xD;
sustaining the locomotion phenomenon on the cements’ surface, which favored the&#xD;
colonization, and confirming the biocompatibility of the experimental cements; (c) SEM-cell morphology and cytoskeleton observations also evidenced that MG-63 cells were able to adhere, to spread and to attain normal morphology on the new IM/α-TCP/CSD-BC which offered favorable substratum properties for osteoblast-like cells proliferation and&#xD;
differentiation in vitro. The results showed that these new iron-modified cement-like&#xD;
biomaterials have cytocompatible features of interest not only as possible spinal cancellous bone replacement biomaterial but also as bone tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract: In this study, the biocompatibility and the osteogenic features of a new iron-modified α-tricalcium phosphate (IM/α-TCP) and calcium sulphate dihydrate (CSD) biphasic cement (IM/α-TCP/CSD-BC) have been investigated in terms of the in vivo cement resorption, bone tissue formation and host tissue response on sheep animal model. Histological evaluation performed on undecalcified cement–bone specimens assessed the in vivo behaviour. It has been shown that the new IM/α-TCP/CSD-BC has the ability to produce firm bone binding in vivo (i.e. bioactivity). Qualitative histology proved cement biocompatibility, osteoconduction and favourable resorption, mainly through a macrophage-mediated mechanism. The results showed that the new cements have biocompatible and osteogenic features of interest as possible cancellous bone replacement biomaterial for minimally invasive spinal surgery applications.

      <description>Title: Salinity effect on the corona onset for a 765 kV AC substation connector
Authors: Hernández Guiteras, Joan; Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Sanllehi, Josep; Bosch Tous, Ricardo
Abstract: Outdoor substations placed in coastal areas are affected by saline environments. In the technical literature it is found extensive information regarding insulations problems in presence of saline environments [1]. The accumulation of salts and other contaminants promotes the onset of partial discharges on the devices subjected to very high voltages. Insulators are also affected by this phenomenon. While rainfall has a cleaning effect on the insulator surface, humidity enhances the corrosion effect and degrades the performance of insulation [2], favouring onset conditions for partial discharge. Corrosion due to saline environments or dirt increases the roughness of the insulator surface, thus facilitating the appearance of partial discharges [3]. It is well known that the air pollution has a great impact on metals corrosion. Chloride ions are common in coastal environments, because seawater acts as a source of air mineralization. Deposition of chloride ions on metal surfaces intensifies metallic corrosion, thus degrading the conductor surface [4]. In this work the behaviour of a 765 kVRMS AC (line-to-line voltage) outdoor substation connector is analyzed when operating under both dry conditions and under wet saline environments by means of three-dimensional finite elements simulations (3D-FEM). FEM simulations show that the electric field strength in the connector surroundings does not exceed the electric breakdown strength for air under clean and dry atmospheric conditions when energized at its rated voltage, 765 kVRMS AC (line-to-line). These results are corroborated by means of experimental measurements carried out in a high-voltage laboratory. Both, the laboratory tests and the 3D-FEM simulations performed in this study concluded that the corona onset voltage is approximately 980 kVRMS AC (line-to-line voltage). Additionally, 3D-FEM simulations allow detecting the connector weakest points regarding to electrical stress. Hence, this software allows redesigning the connector geometry to optimize its performance, thus minimizing the corona occurrence risk and their associated unwanted effects. Additionally, FEM simulations performed under a saline atmosphere were carried out by including a thin conductive saline moisture layer acting as a wetting film on the connector surface. Results revealed that saline environments worsen the connector behaviour, thus favouring corona onset conditions and their related effects.Outdoor substations placed in coastal areas are affected by saline environments.

Authors: Alcalá Cabrelles, Jorge; Esque de los Ojos, Daniel; Ocenášek, J.
Abstract: Continuum crystal plasticity finite element simulations are performed for archetypal pure and alloyed fcc crystals to investigate the role of the crystalline orientation, hardening response and dislocation interactions on the plastic flow patterns developing underneath spherical and pyramidal&#xD;
indenter tips. Following our prior analyses, the orientation of plastic features such as subsurface lobes and surface rosettes goes along that of specific in-plane and out-of-plane slip systems. Interestingly, however, we currently show that the activity of the closely oriented slip systems in such lobes and rosettes is, in general, unaccountable to their development. In highly symmetric (001), (011) and (111) indentations, it is found that the slip systems with a net out-of-plane slip direction may contribute to rosette formation at the surface, whereas in-plane slip directions lead to lobe formation in the subsurface. The present results also show that while the isocontours of maximum shear stress  max from anisotropic elasticity&#xD;
analyses indeed provide an indication of the indentation-induced elastic field, it is the projection of the stress tensor in all slip systems that drives lobe formation. The isocontours of  max may not therefore dictate the plastic zone shape, even though they are useful in explaining some of its&#xD;
features. Finally, a conical shear band shape is found to develop immediately underneath the imprint, dictating accumulation of shear strains and their spreading towards the thickness of the crystal. This feature varies depending on crystal orientation, hardening response and on whether or not the cross-section under analysis contains normal slip directions.</description>

      <description>Title: Two Examples of Efficient Superconducting Cable Applications
Authors: Romenade, Olivier; Granados, Xavier; Casals Torrens, Pau; Obradors i Berenguer, Francesc Xavier; Cascante, Santiago; Puig Molina, Teresa
Abstract: Within the scope of the Supercable project granted by ENDESA, we have study&#xD;
some possible applications of the superconducting cable on linking of sub-stations. One of them considers the possibility to link two sub-stations at the medium voltage level (25 kV) by&#xD;
both, a standard set of copper cables and their equivalent superconducting cable. The second case establishes a comparison between a medium voltage superconducting link and the high voltage, 220= kV, counterpart. As in the first case, the energy and emissions savings are clearly coming from the lower impedance of the SC cable, in the second case the benefit is clearly due&#xD;
to the absence of transformers. Although superconducting cable benefits are not only related with efficiency or environmental impact, the higher efficiency could be an added value when considering a SC cable installation.</description>
