Varroa destructor infestation impairs the improvement of landing performance in foraging honeybees
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is an important contributor to the high losses of western honeybees. Forager bees from Varroa-infested colonies show reduced homing and flight capacity; it is not known whether flight manoeuvrability and related ...

Submarines’ manoeuvrability both in intact and degraded operating conditions is the main design concern starting at the very early stages of design. This increased complexity of the design process compared to a surface vehicle can only be handled by ...

Design of a Disc-Shaped Autonomous Underwater Helicopter with Stable Fins
The autonomous underwater helicopter, shortly referred to as AUH, is a newly developed underwater platform with a unique disc shape. An autonomous underwater helicopter with a suboptimal disc shape is presented in this paper.

The effect of PID control scheme on the course-keeping of ship in oblique stern waves
Sailing in oblique stern waves causes a ship to make sharp turns and uncontrollable course deviation, which is accompanied by a large heel and sometimes leads to capsizing.

Joint Tracking of Manoeuvring Targets and Classification of Their Manoeuvrability [PDF]
A mixed two-dimensional diffusion process with a varying local dispersion matrix is considered. This matrix is proposed to be a semi-Markov process with two states. The mixed process is being observed at time instants constituting a regular lattice.

On the basis of a full-appendage DARPA SUBOFF model (DTRC model 5470), a scale (λ = 0.535) semi-autonomous submarine free-running model (SFRM) was designed for testing its manoeuvrability and stability in the constrained water.

Queckenstedt's manoeuvre [PDF]
This paper describes the beginnings of the measurement of CSF pressure and its physiological fluctuations by Queckenstedt that culminated in his clinical test for spinal canal obstruction. In 1891, Walter Essex Wynter, physician to the Middlesex Hospital, described the insertion of a Southey’s tube to withdraw infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to ...
