Wave-Slope Soaring of the Brown Pelican [PDF]
, 2019 We theoretically assess the energy savings associated with wave-slope soaring of the brown pelican over near-shoaling ocean surface waves. The steady, constant altitude flight of a pelican is analyzed as a control.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rotational energy harvesting device that successfully reconciles high power density with mechanical durability through a hybrid sliding‐and‐bouncing kinematic mechanism is reported. The success reported in our paper includes addressing a dilemma where enhanced electrical output comes at the cost of increased friction and wear, limiting the practical ...

Impact of Parasitic Drag on a Family of Optimal Lift Distributions
, 2020 Minimizing drag is a variational problem, and several minimum induced drag solutions have been found using different design constraints. The elliptic lift distribution is commonly used to minimize induced drag, but is only the optimal solution under one set of design constraints.

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...
