Abstract

The installed capacity of European Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) is likely to rise from the 2014 value of 7GW to 150GW in 2030. However maintenance of OWT is facing unprecedented challenges and cost 35% of lifetime costs. This will be equivalent to £14billion/year by 2030 if current OWT maintenance schemes are not changed. However the complexities around OWT operation require tools and systems to optimise OWT maintenance. The design of optimal OWT maintenance requires failure analysis of over 10,000 components in OWT for which there is little published work relating to performance and failure. In this work, inspection reports of over 400 wind turbine gearboxes (source: Stork Technical Services) and SCADA data (source: Shetland Aerogenerators Ltd) were studied to identify issues with performance and failures in wind turbines. A modified framework of Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (i.e. FMECA+) was designed to analyse failures according to the unique requirements of OWT maintenance planners. The FMECA+ framework enables analysis and prediction of failures for varied root causes, and determines their consequences over short and long periods of time. A software tool has been developed around FMECA+ framework that enables prediction of component level failures for varied root causes. The tool currently stores over 800 such instances. The need to develop a FMECA+ based Enterprise Resource Planning tool has been identified and preliminary results obtained from its development have been shown. Such a software package will routinely manage OWT data, predict failures in components, manage resources and plan an optimal maintenance. This will solve some big problems that OWT maintenance planners currently face. This will also support the use of SCADA and condition monitoring data in planning OWT maintenance, something which has been difficult to manage for a long time.

21. Medicines for children: Evidence access and policy

Author

SINHA, Yashwant

Abstract

Thesis title: Medicines for children: evidence, access and policy. Candidate: Dr Yashwant Sinha Supervisors: Professor Jo-anne Brien (Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Sydney) Professor Jonathan Craig (School of Public Health, University of Sydney) This thesis explores approval processes, access and quality of evidence supporting the use of medicines in children. There are seven chapters and four major studies. Three studies address access to medicines for children in Australia, at a national level through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and locally through public hospitals. The fourth study is a comparative study of risk of bias of published randomised controlled trials of pharmacological interventions in children. This work systematically explores current processes and provides a new data set for therapeutic decision making in paediatric hospitals to inform policymakers. Our comparison of matched paediatric and adult randomised controlled trials explores the reasons for evidence gaps in paediatric patients and whether they may be due to problems in trial design and conduct.

Abstract

The article focuses on the impact of Indian economic reforms since 1991 towards gaps of region, income and classes in India. This was addressed at the tribal village of Dono Reshaam, India, where it was controlled by communist extremists and lacked education, drinking water, and electricity. The situation in Dono Reshaam was similar to other rural villages in India, proving that economic reforms favored the bankers, media and information technology businesses.
