Aerodynamic Influence of Leading-Edge Serrations on an Airfoil in a Low Reynolds Number

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009
It is well-known that the flapping sound of owl wings is much less than that of other birds. Fine serrations equally spaced apart is found at the leading edge of the primary feathers (remiges) of owl wings, and seems to produce the silencing effect ...

Implicit Service Calls in ActiveXML Through OWL-S [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper, we present a framework for implicit service calls in data centric Peer to Peer Active XML language. Active XML is a language devoted to the management of distributed data by embedding Web service calls into XML document. The aim of implicit calls is to allow dynamic data sources discovey through dynamic services discovery and composition.
