Improved Torsion Pendulum for Ground Testing of LISA Displacement Sensors
, 2004 We discuss a new torsion pendulum design for ground testing of prototype LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) displacement sensors. This new design is directly sensitive to net forces and therefore provides a more representative test of the noisy ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

The Journal of the Japan Society of Aeronautical Engineering, 1965 Results of an investigation in the horizontal flight test of the equivalent parasite drag area and required power of a Kawasaki Bell KH-4 single rotor helicopter are given. Measurements of the tilt angles of main rotor were made to determine the equivalent parasite drag area, which was decreased with forward speed to 15.8 ft2 at maximum speed, owing to

The effect of disturbance on a wing [PDF]
Disturbances such as flap and aileron hinges and poorly faired spoilers were simulated in a computer wind tunnel. The total drag of a single roughness element does not depend only on the size of that element.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...
