Personalised Perception: The Effect of Personality on the Sensory Effects of Psychedelics
ABSTRACT Introduction Psychedelics induce a wide range of sensory distortions and hallucinations (henceforth ‘distortions’). Yet, little is known about factors that influence the occurrence of certain distortions. Extra‐pharmacological variables including personality traits have been found to correlate with the occurrence of different subjective ...

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

Development of Vertical Wind Turbine Blades Using 4D Printing of Composites
Vertical axis wind turbine: White blade: Commercial. Black blade: Composite. ABSTRACT This paper presents the procedure to make vertical wind turbine blades using the technique of 4D printing of composites (4DPC). The blades are made using carbon/epoxy composite materials with a fiber volume fraction of about 60%.

Aerodynamic modelling and optimization of morphing wings
This thesis deals with aerodynamic optimization of morphing wings under performance and geometric constraints. In order to perform the optimization process, flow solvers computing aerodynamic lift and drag were developed as a function evaluator.

Stabilization of L‐PBF Ni50.7Ti49.3 under low‐cycle loading was investigated. Recoverable strain after cycling was dependent on the amount of applied load. Recovery ratio was 53.4% and 35.1% at intermediate and high load, respectively. The maximum total strain reached 10.3% at a high load of 1200 MPa.
