SUSPENDED ANIMATION FOR DEEP SPACE FLIGHT
ASEAN Journal of PsychiatryThe discovery of extrasolar planets as well as the growing number of earth-like exoplanets being detected almost routinely, is galvanizing the interest of the public and space agencies alike to plan for exploratory missions to potentially habitable exoplanets. For manned interstellar space flight, ultralow subzero suspended animation strategies will be

PIV-based investigations of animal flight
Experiments in Fluids, 2008An overview is presented of the principles of estimation of fluid forces exerted upon solid bodies, based upon whole-field velocity measurements such as provided by PIV. The focus will be on the range of length and velocity scales characterised by the flight of large insects, birds, bats and small unmanned air vehicles, so that while viscous terms in ...

Photographs of animals in flight
2017This chapter will deal with several important aspects that need to be considered when creating exciting and insightful visual material. Photographs of flight are usually “action photographs” that require quick reaction. The wings of insects move so rapidly that they can only be “frozen” over fractions of milliseconds.

Animal Flight Mechanics in Physically Variable Gas Mixtures
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1996ABSTRACT Empirical studies of animal flight performance have generally been implemented within the contemporary atmosphere. Experimental alteration of the physical composition of gas mixtures, however, permits construction of novel flight media and the non-invasive manipulation of flight biomechanics.

The fascination of animal flight
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005The ability to fly in animals is one of the masterpieces of evolution. The ecological advantages include a rapid escape mechanism, and rapid and relatively (energetically) cheap transport. Even though humans have been interested in bird flight for centuries, the interest remains at a high level and modern research is steadily revealing new findings ...

Levy Flight based Animal Migration Optimization algorithm
2016 International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE), 2016Animal Migration Optimization algorithm is stimulated by intelligent conduct of animal while migrating from one place to other place in search of food and secure habitat. This algorithm simulate the behavior of animal that how they shift from existing location to fresh location and how a number of animal depart from the group and other connect with the

Aerodynamic Aspects of Animal Flight
1975A lecture or a course of lectures on ‘Aircraft’ would put approximately equal emphasis on aerodynamic, structural and power-plant aspects; whereas lectures on ‘Aerodynamics of Aircraft’ would concentrate principally on aerodynamic matters while referring to just the basic elements of what limitations are imposed by structural and power-plant ...

Metabolic changes in the animals subjected to space flight
Acta Astronautica, 1982The activity of the enzymes involved in aminoacid metabolism (tyrosine aminotransferase, TAT, tryptophan pyrrolase TP, serine dehydratase, SD) with rapid response to glucocorticoids and enzymes requiring for activity increase repeated administration of corticosterone (alanine aminotransferase, ALT, aspartate aminotransferase, AST) in liver, the changes
