Thought experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper seeks to explain how thought experiments work, and also the reasons why they can fail. The paper is split into four sections. The first argues that thought experiments in philosophy and science should be treated together.

Quantification of wind turbine energy loss due to leading‐edge erosion through infrared‐camera imaging, numerical simulations, and assessment against SCADA and meteorological data

open access: yesWind Energy, 2023
Quantification of the performance degradation on the annual energy production (AEP) of a wind farm due to leading‐edge (LE) erosion of wind turbine blades is important to design cost‐effective maintenance plans and timely blade retrofit.

A Study on the Derivation of Atmospheric Water Vapor Based on Dual Frequency Radio Signals and Intersatellite Communication Networks

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
The atmospheric total water vapor content (TWVC) affects climate change, weather patterns, and radio signal propagation. Recent techniques such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are used to measure TWVC but with either compromised accuracy ...

Calibration of 3-D wind measurements on a single-engine research aircraft [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015
An innovative calibration method for the wind speed measurement using a boom-mounted Rosemount model 858 AJ air velocity probe is introduced. The method is demonstrated for a sensor system installed on a medium-size research aircraft which is used for ...

Use of single chain MHC technology to investigate co-agonism in human CD8+ T cell activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Non-stimulatory self peptide MHC (pMHC) complexes do not induce T cell activation and effector functions, but can enhance T cell responses to agonist pMHC, through a process termed co-agonism. This protocol describes an experimental system to investigate

A Method for Studying the Temperature Dependence of Dynamic Fracture and Fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The dynamic fracture of a body is a late-stage phenomenon typically studied under simplified conditions, in which a sample is deformed under uniform stress and strain rate. This can be produced by evenly loading the inner surface of a cylinder.
