The prediction of transonic loading advancing helicopter rotors [PDF]

open access: yes
Two different schemes are presented for including the effect of rotor wakes on the finite-difference prediction of rotor loads. The first formulation includes wake effects by means of a blade-surface inflow specification.

The Wind of Change: Mapping Wind Energy Growth and Multi‐Species Vulnerability in Sardinia, Mediterranean

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
The rapid expansion of wind energy across the Mediterranean region calls for more advanced tools to assess and mitigate its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we present an innovative approach combining 13‐year satellite imagery analysis and ecological modelling, to assess the spatiotemporal overlap between wind energy development and habitat ...

Technical Damage in Wind Rotor Blade under Static Load at Environment Conditions

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
Accidents with a wind rotor blade are frequently observed in the wind farms and the simulation study of its undesired damage and its full degradation has to be done. As usual the full degradation of the wind rotor blade happens in a sequence of appearing

Predicting the wake structure of the HART II rotor using the vorticity transport model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Brown’s Vorticity Transport Model has been used to predict the wake structure and resultant blade loading of the rotor that was studied during the HART II experimental programme. The descending flight condition of the experiment yields significant high-

Structural and functional characterization of the newly identified Photorhabdus laumondii tumor necrosis factor‐like lectin

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We characterize the PLTL lectin from Photorhabdus laumondii, which adopts a unique TNF‐like fold. Binding assays reveal a preference for branched histo‐blood group oligosaccharides. Protein crystallography uncovers a novel hexameric assembly and identifies key residues involved in carbohydrate recognition.

Performance and loads data from an outdoor hover test of a Lynx tail rotor [PDF]

open access: yes
A Lynx tail rotor was tested in hover at the Outdoor Aerodynamic Research Facility at NASA Ames Research Center. The test objectives were to measure the isolated rotor performance to provide a baseline for subsequent testing, and to operate the rotor ...

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

Improvements to tilt rotor performance through passive blade twist control [PDF]

open access: yes
A passive blade twist control is presented in which the twist distribution of a tilt rotor blade is elastically changed as a function of rotor speed. The elastic twist deformation is used to achieve two different blade twist distributions corresponding ...

Upstream-radiated rotor–stator interaction noise in mean swirling flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A major component of the noise in modern aeroengines is rotor–stator interaction noise generated when the wake from the rotating fan impinges on a stator row downstream.

Remote Sensing of Endogenous Pigmentation by Inducible Synthetic Circuits in Grasses

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant synthetic biology holds great promise for engineering plants to meet future demands. Genetic circuits are being designed, built and tested in plants to demonstrate the proof of concept. However, developing these components in monocots, which the world relies on for grain, lags behind dicot models, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and ...
