Static calibration of the RSRA active-isolator rotor balance system [PDF]

open access: yes
The Rotor Systems Research Aircraft (RSRA) active-isolator system is designed to reduce rotor vibrations transmitted to the airframe and to simultaneously measure all six forces and moments generated by the rotor.

Development of a rotating gravity gradiometer for earth orbit applications (AAFE) [PDF]

open access: yes
Some preliminary mission studies are described along with the design, fabrication, and test of a breadboard model of an earth orbital, rotating gravity gradiometer with a design goal of 10 to the minus 11th power/sec sq (0.01 EU) in a 35-sec integration ...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

k‐Selective Electrical‐to‐Magnon Transduction with Finite‐Element‐Resolved Sub‐Micron Nanoantennas

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a coupled finite‐element‐finite‐difference framework that links impedance‐matched nanoantenna geometries to propagating spin‐wave dynamics, capturing skin effects, proximity effects, and taper leakage beyond uniform‐current models. Applied to coplanar‐waveguide and stripline nanoantennas on yttrium‐iron‐garnet, the simulations achieve ...

An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Direct threshing of paddy (Oryza sativa) ear-head with reduced straw and optimized grain throughput rate

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Reduction of the straw intake is a new harvesting technique that reduces energy and input costs. In existing combine harvesters, the cutter bar of the standard header is set at an increased height, or the stripper header combine harvester is used to ...
