The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Aeroelasticity of compliant span morphing wings [PDF]
, 2018 A low-fidelity aeroelastic model is developed to study the dynamic behaviour of uniform, cantilever span morphing wings. The wing structure is modelled using the shape functions of the bending and torsional modes of a uniform cantilever wing according to

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Historically, a university education has been seen primarily as a route for the middle classes to achieve professional qualifications while structural barriers have served to restrict entry to individuals from particular demographics. First‐generation students (FGS), often with low socio‐economic backgrounds, face multiple barriers to Higher ...

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems
FlexMat, EarlyView.Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.

On the Experimental Characterization of Morphing Structures
, 2022 S.683-712A major difficulty in the design of morphing devices for aircraft wings is to reach an adequate compromise between high load-carrying capacity to withstand aerodynamic loads and sufficient flexibility to achieve better aerodynamic performance ...

Emotional Valence Influences Empathic Capacity in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Previous research has identified age‐related differences in empathic abilities between adolescence and young adulthood. While cognitive empathy appears to continue to develop from adolescence and into adulthood, the developmental trajectory of affective empathy is less clear.

Sensors, 2010 The Helicopter Adaptive Aircraft (HADA) is a morphing aircraft which is able to take-off as a helicopter and, when in forward flight, unfold the wings that are hidden under the fuselage, and transfer the power from the main rotor to a propeller, thus ...

Moisture Effects on the Dimensional Stability of Bistable Carbon/Epoxy Laminates
Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Experimental and numerical approach for studying moisture effects on composite dimensional stability. ABSTRACT Bistable composite laminates are attractive because they can switch between two stable shapes without continuous energy input, enabling applications in morphing structures and energy harvesting devices.
