Analytical and scale model research aimed at improved hangglider design [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Research consisted of a theoretical analysis which attempts to predict aerodynamic characteristics using lifting surface theory and finite-element structural analysis as well as an experimental investigation using 1/5 scale elastically similar models in ...

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...

An unmanned surface vehicle for acoustic telemetry surveys of coastal fishes: range testing, real world performance, and comparison with a stationary tracking array

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Ocean gliders equipped with acoustic telemetry receivers offer a promising approach for studying the movement of marine fishes, yet most surveys to date have been brief and rarely include direct comparisons with traditional stationary tracking methods ...

New technologies in general aviation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This research explored the technological needs of GA pilots at international levels. Overall, single pilot operators tend to value costs as the most important feature of any technology, followed by technology that helps with pre-flight tasks as well as

Local information transfer as a spatiotemporal filter for complex systems

open access: yes, 2008
We present a measure of local information transfer, derived from an existing averaged information-theoretical measure, namely transfer entropy. Local transfer entropy is used to produce profiles of the information transfer into each spatiotemporal point ...

Mapping Fish Chorus Distributions in Southern California Using an Autonomous Wave Glider

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Passive acoustics is a tool to monitor behavior, distributions, and biomass of marine invertebrates, fish, and mammals. Typically, fixed passive acoustic monitoring platforms are deployed, using a priori knowledge of the location of the target vocal ...

Enhanced Oxygen Redox Activity and Structure Stability of P2‐Type Manganese‐Based Cathodes Through Medium‐Entropy Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A medium‐entropy strategy guided by ionic potential is applied to weaken TM─O bonds and suppress Jahn–Teller distortion in P2‐type cathodes, thereby enhancing the oxygen redox activity and structure stability. A medium‐entropy oxide, Na0.8Li0.1Ni0.1Cu0.1Ti0.1Mn0.6O2, demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 223.7 mAh g−1 and an energy density of 616 ...

Programmable Multifunctional Bistable Structures for Energy Transfer and Dissipation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing the energy conversion characteristics of asymmetric bistable beams, this study develops a programmable multifunctional system composed of multiple bistable beams for energy transfer and dissipation. The high energy density enables the system to demonstrate potential in transient scenarios such as target delivery and shock absorption ...
