Flight test results from a supercritical mission adaptive wing with smooth variable camber [PDF]

open access: yes
The mission adaptive wing (MAW) consisted of leading- and trailing-edge variable-camber surfaces that could be deflected in flight to provide a near-ideal wing camber shape for any flight condition. These surfaces featured smooth, flexible upper surfaces

VAE+DDPG: An Attention‐Enhanced Variational Autoencoder for Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Autonomous Navigation in Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Variational Autoencoder+Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient addresses low‐light failures of infrared depth sensing for indoor robot navigation. Stage 1 pretrains an attention‐enhanced Variational Autoencoder (Convolutional Block Attention Module+Feature Pyramid Network) to map dark depth frames to a well‐lit reconstruction, yielding a 128‐D latent code ...

Growth of Audouin's gull chicks: the role of prehatch and posthatch factors

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2003
We compared the growth rates of Audouin´s Gull (Larus audouinii) chicks from the Ebro Delta and Columbretes Islands. Chicks from the Columbretes Islands were reared in captivity and fed ad libitum. Wild chicks from the Ebro Delta weighed more than chicks

Voxel‐SLAM: A Complete, Accurate, and Versatile Light Detection and Ranging‐Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping System

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
: In this work, Voxel‐SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is introduced: a complete, accurate, and versatile LiDAR (light detection and ranging) ‐inertial SLAM system consisting of five modules: initialization, odometry, local mapping (LM), loop closure (LC), and global mapping (GM), all employing the same map representation, an adaptive voxel

Effect of Canard on the Characteristics of a 65° Delta Wing-A Preliminary Analysis of Experimental Data. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The experimental data available on a 65° swept-back, cropped delta wing with a canard has been analysed to study the effects of canard. Two sets of results are available : the first set is with a wing having sharp leading edges and the second set with a ...

Numerical Simulation of Self-Sustained Roll Oscillations of an 80-Degree Delta Wing Caused by Leading-Edge Vortices

open access: yesAerospace
Numerical simulations of an 80-degree delta wing in free-to-roll motion are performed by applying the dynamic fluid–body interaction (DFBI) model and the overlap/chimera method using the URANS equations.
