PBO Fibres: from saliling design towards architectural performance
, 2009 p. 3013-3023PBO fibres, also called "high-performance" polymer fibres, are a group of materials known as "rigid rods". Through this work it is pretended to make some considerations about the use of these new generation fibres.

The contradictions between the original three master Belgica and present regulations [PDF]
, 2009 On 16 August 1897, the Belgian captain Adrien de Gerlache together with an international crew of 15 left Antwerp (Belgium) for the Antarctic on the three-master Belgica. This expedition was the first Antarctic expedition of a purely scientific nature and

Sailing yacht rig improvements through viscous CFD
, 2005 In this paper we propose a rational viscous Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology applied to sailing yacht rig aerodynamic design and analysis. After an outlook of present challenges in high speed sailing we emphasized the necessity of innovation and Computational Fluid Dynamics to think, validate and optimize new aero-hydrodynamic concepts ...

Hydrofoils in construction of sailing yachts
AUTOBUSY – Technika, Eksploatacja, Systemy Transportowe, 2018 In the paper the usage of hydrofoils in sailing yachts is discussed. The paper draws attention to the history of development of hydrofoils both in engine and wind driven vessels, focusing specifically on technical issues. Major trends and directions of development of sailing yachts equipped with systems of hydrofoils are described.

Comparing explicit and implicit feedback techniques for web retrieval : TREC-10 interactive track report [PDF]
, 2002 In this paper we examine the extent to which implicit feedback (where the system attempts to estimate what the user may be interested in) can act as a substitute for explicit feedback (where searchers explicitly mark documents relevant).

Using artificial intelligence to control fluid flow computations [PDF]
Computational simulation is an essential tool for the prediction of fluid flow. Many powerful simulation programs exist today. However, using these programs to reliably analyze fluid flow and other physical situations requires considerable human effort ...
