Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

Design of a composite morphing wing
, 2019 Morphing aircraft components can increase the possibility of optimising the performance of an aircraft at various flight conditions. A morphing aircraft wing can change the wing shape to modify the lift and drag distribution on the wing surface, allowing the lift-to-drag ratio to be tailored to the desired performance.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...

Morphing wing optimization for steady level flight
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2016 This paper presents the basic results of the morphing wing planform optimization of an experimental unmanned air vehicle for minimum drag at steady level flight. The aerodynamic design tool that consists of the three-dimensional panel method, two-dimensional boundary layer solution and generalized reduced gradient method-based optimization is ...

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.
