On the Mechanism of Large Amplitude Flapping of Inverted Foil in a Uniform Flow [PDF]
An elastic foil interacting with a uniform flow with its trailing edge clamped, also known as the inverted foil, exhibits a wide range of complex self-induced flapping regimes such as large amplitude flapping (LAF), deformed and flipped flapping. Here, we perform three-dimensional numerical experiments to examine the role of vortex shedding and the ...

Experimental method for perching flapping-wing aerial robots [PDF]
In this work, we present an experimental setup and guide to enable the perching of large flapping-wing robots. The combination of forward flight, limited payload, and flight oscillations imposes challenging conditions for localized perching. The described method details the different operations that are concurrently performed within the 4 second ...

Re-exploration of vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for vaginal reconstruction: Case report and review of the literature. [PDF]
The vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap is a versatile and well-established reconstructive technique for many defects created as a result of colorectal and gynecologic extirpation. However, major re-operation in the pelvis following a VRAM
