Supersonic transporter (SST) deformity of penile prosthesis: Current management strategies
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Supersonic transporter (SST) deformity, also known as floppy glans syndrome, represents a persistent source of post‐operative dissatisfaction among patients undergoing inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. Although infection and mechanical failure rates have declined with advances in device design and surgical technique, SST ...

The effect of passive deformation of dragonfly wing on aerodynamic characteristics
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016 Dragonflies can perform both of gliding and flapping flight and have high maneuverability in spite of small-size. The aim of this study is to develop Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) based on the flight of dragonfly.

Probability forecasts – Part 1: ensembles and probabilistic forecasts
Weather, EarlyView.Ensemble weather forecasts have been in use for many years to help forecasters understand uncertainty in weather predictions but are now becoming core to some operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems. Ensembles offer greater predictive skill and information content than deterministic forecasts but are more complex to interpret and ...

Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamics of Feather-Covered Flapping Wing
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2017 Avian flight has an outstanding performance than the manmade flapping wing MAVs. Considering that the feather is light and strong, a new type of the flapping wing was designed and made, whose skeleton is carbon fiber rods and covered by goose feathers as

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Decentralized Hybrid Formation Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
, 2014 This paper presents a decentralized hybrid supervisory control approach for a team of unmanned helicopters that are involved in a leader-follower formation mission. Using a polar partitioning technique, the motion dynamics of the follower helicopters are

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.
