Clinical supervision in postgraduate medical training is vital in producing competent and safe health-care practitioners. Effective communication between supervisors and trainees at an interpersonal and professional level determines the quality of the supervision process. Transactional analysis, a theory of personality, can be used to enhance understanding of interpersonal interactions and improve the outcomes of clinical training.
Hot structures are essentially required for the hypersonic vehicle applications owing to their operation in the dense flight environments. This paper aims at the development and testing of ceramic matrix composite components for air breathing hypersonic vehicle application. In this regard, 2.5D C/PyC/SiC composites were prepared by isothermal Chemical vapour infiltration (CVI) process. X-ray CT analysis was employed to understand the extent of CVI densification in the ceramic matrix composites laminates, and it was under stood that that the intra-bundle infiltration precedes the inter-bundle infiltration with an edge (high) to center (low) gradient. The composite specimens showed an average tensile strength of 206 ± 21 MPa and an average flexural strength of 405 ± 25 MPa, respectively, at room temperature. Thermal conductivity of composite specimens shows an increase in trend with temperature. The composite laminates were successfully tested for use in the air intake ramps of hypersonic air breathing engines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
