Reflection imaging with a helium zone plate microscope.

Neutral helium atom microscopy is a novel microscopy technique which offers strictly surface-sensitive, non-destructive imaging. Several experiments have been published in recent years where images are obtained by scanning a helium beam spot across a surface and recording the variation in scattered intensity at a fixed total scattering angle θ and fixed incident angle θ relative to the overall surface normal. These experiments used a spot obtained by collimating the beam (referred to as helium pinhole microscopy).

The importance of aeroelasticity in estimating multiaxial fatigue behaviour of large floating offshore wind turbine blades.

The trend toward longer blades in offshore wind turbines poses a significant structural design challenge, given their flexibility and larger load variations. While the study of aeroelastic models of very long blades has gained attention in recent discussions, there is a gap in comprehensive studies examining the impact of different aeroelastic models on fatigue analysis. This study focuses on a comparative evaluation of different aeroelastic models under identical conditions, with a specific focus on multiaxial fatigue.

Neutral helium atom microscopy.

Neutral helium atom microscopy, also referred to as scanning helium microscopy and commonly abbreviated SHeM or NAM (neutral atom microscopy), is a novel imaging technique that uses a beam of neutral helium atoms as an imaging probe. The technique offers a number of advantages such as the very low energy of the incident probing atoms (less than 0.1 eV), unsurpassed surface sensitivity (no penetration into the sample bulk), a charge neutral, inert probe and a high depth of field.

Efficacy and safety of anterior vaginal prolapse treatment using single incision repair system: Multicentric study.

Objective: Up to 80% of all POP surgical procedures are due to anterior vaginal wall prolapse. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transvaginal anterior mesh for POP surgical repair.

Materials And Methods: 153 consecutive patients with symptomatic or recurrent anterior vaginal prolapse undergoing surgical single-incision mesh (Calistar S) were prospectively enrolled in the study.
