A wind tunnel investigation into the effects of roof curvature on the aerodynamic drag experienced by a light goods vehicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Roof curvature is used to increase ground vehicle camber and enhance rear-body boat-tailing to reduce aerodynamic drag. Little aerodynamic data is published for light goods vehicles (LGVs) which account for a significant proportion of annual UK licensed ...

Evaluation of convex roof entanglement measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We show a powerful method to compute entanglement measures based on convex roof constructions. In particular, our method is applicable to measures that, for pure states, can be written as low order polynomials of operator expectation values.
