The Effectiveness of Shrouding on Reducing Meshed Spur Gear Power Loss - Test Results [PDF]

open access: yes
Gearbox efficiency is reduced at high rotational speeds due to windage drag and viscous effects on rotating, meshed gear components. A goal of NASA aeronautics rotorcraft research is aimed at propulsion technologies that improve efficiency while ...

Application of a novel molecular diagnostic method to examine the spatio‐temporal trends of Carcelia iliaca, a larval parasitoid of oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea)

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The oak processionary moth is an invasive pest in the United Kingdom that threatens biodiversity and public health, with rising control costs highlighting the need for sustainable management alternatives Conservation biocontrol using the parasitoid fly Carcelia iliaca is promising but key biological data gaps hinder evidence‐based policy development. A

Predicted effect of dynamic load on pitting fatigue life for low-contact-ratio spur gears [PDF]

open access: yes
How dynamic load affects the surface pitting fatigue life of external spur gears was predicted by using the NASA computer program TELSGE. Parametric studies were performed over a range of various gear parameters modeling low-contact-ratio involute spur ...

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

We Woke Up With a Sign: Exclusion, Conflict and the Politics of Marine Conservation in South Africa

open access: yesArea, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Conservation often continues to be undertaken in ways that exclude nearby communities, despite extensive critique of such practices. This paper examines the reactions to the creation of a marine protected area in KwaZulu‐Natal. We find that the community supports conservation, but expresses frustration at not being included in decisions ...

Enhancing the Ethical Culture of Organizations: A Longitudinal Study Using a Comprehensive Ethics Training

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A supportive ethical culture (EC) can encourage moral behavior among employees and help them avoid wrongdoing. One option for fostering EC is ethics training; its longer‐term effectiveness, however, has rarely been examined, especially in countries lacking strong regulatory environments.
