An Efficient SDOF Sweep Wing Morphing Technology for eVTOL-UAV and Experimental Realization
DronesThe presented study demonstrates that UAVs can be flown with a morphing wing to develop essential aerodynamic efficiency without a tail structure, which decides the operational cost and flight safety.

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

What's Wrong With Self‐Censorship?
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, discourse on freedom of speech has shifted away from exclusive focus on the state and towards societal threats to speech. Amidst this change, the notion of “self‐censorship” has gained increased prominence. Not only has self‐censorship emerged as a common reference point, several recent studies identify it as embodying a ...

Unsteady Numerical Simulation of Wing Deformation Using Body Surface Dynamic Mesh
AerospaceMorphing aircraft, which are capable of adaptively changing their configurations in response to mission requirements and flight environments to achieve improved aerodynamic performance, have become an important direction in aircraft design.

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.In a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru, the columnar cactus Haageocereus acranthus shows traits and interactions consistent with a mixed‐vertebrate pollination system (hummingbirds and bats), with no detectable differences between flower colour morphotypes in either traits or interactions.

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning functions that overlap for similar movement kinematics—what might be considered bottom‐up generalization ...

Shape Morphing Using PDE Surfaces [PDF]
, 2006 YesA methodology for shape morphing using partial differential equation (PDE) surfaces is presented in this work. The use of the PDE formulation shows how shape morphing can be based on a boundary-value approach by which intermediate shapes can be ...

Antonio Gramsci's Anti‐Fascism: Not Your Average Fascist's Cultural Marxism
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper discusses the form and content of Gramsci's Marxism in light of long debates about anti‐fascism. Through twists and turns, Gramsci came to understand fascism as a new form of politics, as a movement, ideology or regime. No mere bourgeois reaction, fascism is a sui generis form of mass politics that translates the roots of modern ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2656-2697, October 2026.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...
