Numerical and Experimental Verifications on the Wing Design of a Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
, 2018 This talk is to demonstrate the numerical and experimental verifications on the modified wing design of a flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs). The subject is a flapping wing of 20 cm span used in micro ornithopters subject to the conditions of 13 ...

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Dynamics of Flapping-Wing MAVs: Application to the Tamkang Golden Snitch
, 2013 The dynamics of a flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) is studied in this paper. The MEMS Laboratory in Tamkang University has been developing flapping-wing MAVs for several years. Based on the developed flapping-wing MAV, the dynamics is studied and

Using wingbeat frequency to estimate mass gain
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Energy intake is a fundamental currency in ecology that is critical to reproductive success, survival and lifetime fitness. Measuring foraging success in wild animals via biologgers has been a long‐standing challenge but is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying population dynamics and species distributions.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Reconstructing the urethra presents in hypospadias surgery is difficult. Occasionally, the urethral plate (UP) may be quite narrow, necessitating augmentation or replacement to achieve additional tubularization. Objective The objective of this research was to assess the application of modified dorsal inlay graft (mDIG) and ...

Democratising Multi‐Projector Displays
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Spatially augmented reality (SAR) transforms large, surround, collaborative experiences out of VR/AR headsets to the real world by merging content from projectors with the physical environment. This detailed state‐of‐the‐art survey reports on the advancements in multi‐projector aggregation and hardware technologies used to achieve SAR and build ...

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Summary Background Full‐thickness nasal defects of the tip, soft triangle, and ala are commonly reconstructed using a paramedian forehead flap with cartilage grafts or an epithesis. However, these approaches may be associated with donor‐site morbidity and psychological burden.
