- Workshops are an important part of the IFPA annual meeting. At IFPA Meeting 2010 diverse topics were discussed in twelve themed workshops, six of which are summarized in this report. 1. The placental pathology workshop focused on clinical correlates of placenta accreta/percreta. 2. Mechanisms of regulation of trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling were discussed in the trophoblast invasion workshop. 3. The fetal sex and intrauterine stress workshop explored recent work on placental sex differences and discussed them in the context of whether boys live dangerously in the womb.4. The workshop on parasites addressed inflammatory responses as a sign of interaction between placental tissue and parasites. 5. The decidua and embryonic/fetal loss workshop focused on key regulatory mediators in the decidua, embryo and fetus and how alterations in expression may contribute to different diseases and adverse conditions of pregnancy. 6. The trophoblast differentiation and syncytialisation workshop addressed the regulation of villous cytotrophoblast differentiation and how variations may lead to placental dysfunction and pregnancy complications.

- Fatigue cracking of laser clad cylindrical and square section bars depends upon a variety of factors. This paper presents Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the different macro stress fields generated as well as stress raisers created by laser cladding defects for four different fatigue load conditions. As important as the defect types are their locations and orientations, categorized into zero-, one- and two-dimensional defects. Pores and inclusions become critical close to surfaces. The performance of as-clad surfaces can be governed by the sharpness of surface notches and planar defects like hot cracks or lack-of-fusion (LOF) are most critical if oriented vertically, transverse to the bar axis. The combination of the macro stress field with the defect type and its position and orientation determines whether it is the most critical stress raiser. Based on calculated cases, quantitative and qualitative charts were developed as guidelines to visualize the trends of different combinations.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The fatigue life of laser clad components is basically determined by stress raisers, which arehere studied by Finite Element Analysis. Cylindrical and square section bars are compared foraxial, bending and torsional load conditions, which induces the macro-stress field withcorresponding stress peaks. Defects from laser cladding such as pores, cracks or the surfaceroughness superimpose additional stress raising action on this stress field. The geometricalposition and orientation of the defects has strong impact on the induced maximum stresslevel. For surface pores it is demonstrated by the fractography that their occurrence within acritical azimuthal range can initiate fatigue cracking. The different conditions of samplegeometry, load situations, materials and defects are compared and discussed. In particular,advanced illustration methods are applied for improved and generalized documentation andexplanation of the trends, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Guidelines are presented, inparticular emphasizing critical defects and situations, such as surface pores that are difficult todetect because of inclusions, or pores just underneath the surface that generate particularlyhigh stress.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The dielectric functions of the MAX phases, Ti3SiC2 and Ti4AlN3, have been determined from first principles calculations. We compared the dielectric functions and the reflectivity spectra of Ti3SiC2 and Ti4AlN3 with those of TiC and TiN. The optical spectra were analyzed by means of the electronic structure, which provides theoretical understanding of the conduction mechanism of these two phases. We found that Ti4AlN3 can be used to avoid solar heating and also increase the radiative cooling due to the increased thermal emittance as compared to TiN. Ti4AlN3 can therefore be a candidate coating material for temperature control of space vehicles.
