The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq
Early Medieval Europe, EarlyView.In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.

Perspectives on Highly Adaptive or Morphing Aircraft [PDF]
, 2009 The ability to adapt to different flight conditions has been fundamental to aircraft design since the Wright Brothers first flight. Over a hundred years later, unconventional aircraft adaptability, often called aircraft morphing has become a topic of ...

Behavioral Responses of Two Common Woodland Salamanders to Novel Urban Stimuli
Ethology, EarlyView.We examined behavioral responses of the Eastern Red‐backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and Northern Ravine Salamander (P. electromorphus) to novel urban stimuli. The Northern Ravine Salamander exhibited increased thigmotaxis in the presence of concrete pavers simulating roads and walkways.

On the effect of low blowing ratio continuous jets on wingtip vortex characteristics [PDF]
, 2018 Vortices are an unavoidable effect of flight, which appear behind the wing with a bounded length. The strength of these vortices, which are extremely stable, is due to the lift force [1].

Artists in Nursery Schools: Enabling Free Play and Self‐Expression Through the Arts
International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.Abstract The purpose of this research was to analyse the presence of artists in nursery schools by means of two proposals to promote free play and self‐expression for children between one and 3 years‐old and their families. Researchers compiled evidence from the perspective of three atelieristas and other participating adults, through interviews and ...
