Conceptual design and optimization methodology for box wing aircraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A conceptual design optimization methodology was developed for a medium range box wing aircraft. A baseline conventional cantilever wing aircraft designed for the same mis- sion and payload was also optimized alongside a baseline box wing aircraft.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Assessing and Quantifying Variability Across Vacuum‐Assisted Resin Infusion Variants for Aerospace‐Grade Composite Manufacturing

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Radar‐plot comparison of consolidation quality and flexural performance of composite laminates manufactured by six vacuum‐infusion routes, evaluated at the resin‐inlet and vacuum‐port regions. ABSTRACT Conventional vacuum‐assisted resin transfer molding (C‐VARTM) is recognized as a cost‐effective resin infusion technique for manufacturing large‐scale ...

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...
