Auto-updating model-based control for thrust variation mitigation and acceleration performance enhancement of gas turbine aero-engines

open access: yesPropulsion and Power Research
Model-based control shows promising potential for engine performance improvement and future aero-propulsion requirements. In this paper, an auto-updating thrust variation mitigation (AuTVM) control approach using on-board model strategies is proposed for

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

SARchaeological Prospection: Synthetic Aperture Radar for the Reconstruction and Mapping of Temperate Floodplain Environments

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temperate river floodplains present a significant challenge for archaeologists, as cultural and palaeoenvironmental remains are often difficult to locate but can be exceptionally well preserved, especially where groundwater levels are high. In these alluvial environments, the deposition of thick, fine‐grained sediments has potential to deeply ...

Standardizing Visualization in Ancient Maya Lidar Research: Techniques, Challenges and Recommendations

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airborne laser scanning (ALS, lidar) has become a key method for studying ancient Maya landscapes, offering unprecedented visibility of anthropogenic terrain modifications in densely forested environments. Despite this progress, the visualization of elevation data remains understandardized, with many researchers relying on ad hoc or ...

Ethanol in aircraft engines

open access: yes, 2008
[EN] This project deals about ethanol as an alternative fuel. The first part is the ethanol such as chemical and physical properties, continuously the industry and its uses are going to be studied in it of there the importance nowadays of the ethanol. The second part deals with ethanol in Brazil and the development of the use of ethanol in this country.
