Experimental validation of unsteady models for fluid structure interaction: Application to yacht sails and rigs [PDF]
• We present full scale measurements on a yacht sailing upwind in moderate head swell • We highlight the unsteadiness of the loads : peaks may be twice the mean value • The dynamic behavior differs from the steady state : hysteresis loop • Experimental ...

Riparian land use and in-channel stressors drive fish community structure in the Yangtze River [PDF]
Context: Untangling relationships between landscape patterns shaped by human stressors and related response of fish communities is important for identifying biodiversity patterns and conservation targets, yet in large rivers this knowledge is extremely ...

Invalidating Policies using Structural Information [PDF]
Insider threats are a major threat to many organisations. Even worse, insider attacks are usually hard to detect, especially if an attack is based on actions that the attacker has the right to perform. In this paper we present a step towards detecting the risk for this kind of attacks by invalidating policies using structural information of the ...
