Abstract:

Reports of unidentified flying objects and alien encounters have sparked amateur research (ufology), government investigations, and popular interest in the subject. Historically, however, scientists have generally greeted the topic with skepticism, most often dismissing ufology as pseudoscience and believers in unidentified flying objects and aliens as irrational or abnormal. Believers, in turn, have expressed doubts about the accuracy of academic science. This study examines the historical sources of the mutual mistrust between ufologists and scientists. It demonstrates that any science doubt

Abstract:

The theme of amateurism has been persistent throughout the history of the British biopic, evidenced in films including Scott of the Antarctic (1948), The Magic Box (1951) and The Flying Scotsman (2006). Eddie the Eagle (2016), a film about ski-jumper Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards and his preparation for the 1988 Winter Olympics where he finished 73rd out of 73 competitors, exemplifies how fascination with the amateur continues in contemporary biopic production. However, Eddie the Eagle represents the amateur ethos within a particularly unstable period for organised sports. The integrity of the Oly

Abstract:

Light sport aircraft builders widely construct experimental aircraft for their personal enjoyment for both building and flying purposes. A variety of engines are used as powerplants for their aircraft. The Volkswagen (VW) automotive engine is one of the most reliable engine conversions for amateur-built aircraft. The aim of this paper is to investigate the cylinder head temperature of the VW-Aero conversion engine during flight conditions by using CFD. The models of the front and rear cylinder barrels include a cylinder head which is constructed with the addition of a baffle plate and air inle

Abstract:

On November 1, 1959, a flying hockey puck broke the nose of goalie Jacques Plante. Thereafter, he insisted on wearing a face mask, a decision that signaled a broader introduction of safety equipment into North American ice hockey. This paper examines how head and facial protection became a standard requirement for playing hockey in North America at amateur and professional levels of the sport. During the mid-twentieth century, national governing bodies confronted growing safety concerns amid rising participation in organized hockey. Yet in the absence of league-wide mandates, players generally

With clear skies most of the year, low levels of light and industrial pollution and location (we can see 96% of the celestial sphere) Zimbabwe is an excellent place for astronomy. For nearly 100 years a small but dedicated and talented band of amateur astronomers have been making hundreds of observations of occultations and variable stars, and contibuted 10% of the global total of reports to the International Halley Watch. The Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (Harare Centre) is 25 years old and the largest telescopes (mostly ‘home-made’) in the country are owned by members. Active prepa

Abstract:

In recent years, the number of observing the osprey (Pandion haliaetus (Linnaeus, 1758)) in the Altai Krai (Siberia, Russian Federation) has increased slightly. We suppose this fact is due not to an increase in the number of these rare birds in the region, but to an increase in the number of interested observers and amateur photographers. The appearance of such Internet resources as the Web GIS “Red Book of Altai Krai”, the Web GIS “Feathered Predators of the World”, “Siberian Birdwatching Community” and others makes it easy to publish the results of their observations, confirmed by photos, on

Abstract:

Abstract Building roof inspections should be performed periodically to ensure repairs and replacements are done in a timely manner. These inspections get neglected on sloped roofs due to two factors: the inefficiency of manual visual inspections, and the difficulty of accessing sloped roofs. Walking a roof to inspect each tile is time consuming. As roof slope increases so does this difficulty, increasing the time needed for an inspection. Additionally, there is an inherent safety risk involved. Falls from roofs tend to cause serious and expensive injuries. These two factors, safety and efficie

Formulation of the problem. The modern choral art as never requires a theoretical understanding of the artistic experience accumulated over the years of its existence and enriched with the latest advances in this field. The bloom of the high professional choral performance in Ukraine shows, first of all, the active development of choral culture in practical terms, but unfortunately, in many theoretical aspects of the choral art there are significant gaps. Since in Ukraine a galaxy of dedicated experts in the field of the choral work function fruitfully, among whom the territory of the Slobozha

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to a polar graph measurement by a flight testing technique and to propose a baseline research method for future tests of UAV polar graphs. The method presented can be used to demonstrate a conceptual and preliminary design process using a scaled, unmanned configuration. This shows how results of experimental flight tests using a scaled flying airframe may be described and analysed before manufacturing the full scale aircraft.

Presented graduation thesis is focused on the life and public activity of the teacher at the secondary school Jaroslav Maňák. By his activity and sedulity he had merit in prosperity of club life in České Budějovice. We owe him to the development of amateur flying (sporting aviation) in South Bohemia. The thesis is divided into five main chapters except the oddments. The first chapter shortly deals with the whole life of Jaroslav Maňák. The second chapter describes level of secondary education in the town and his pedagogic activity. The most extensive chapter devoted to aviation follows this pa

Abstract:

The rise of suburbs and disinvestment from cities have been defining features of life in many countries over the course of the twentieth century, especially English-speaking ones. The separation of different aspects of life, such as living and working, and the diffusion of the population in far-flung garden homes have necessitated an enormous consumption of natural lands and the constant use of mechanized transportation. Why did we abandon our dense, complex urban places and seek to find “the best of the city and the country” in the flowery suburbs? A large missing piece in this story is found

Abstract:

Although competitive sailing yachts may sail fast today this is mainly due to material progress, not sail design. It is always difficult to design a set of sails for a given boat and sailing conditions. A sail has one design shape but an infinite number of corresponding flying shapes depending on materials, trimming, rigging and wind conditions. In this paper a computational framework for sail analysis, design and optimization has been extended to Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and will be presented. The multi-physics computational framework is based on a viscous Computational Fluid Dynamic

Abstract:

A finales del siglo XIX, la fotografía se convirtió en el pasatiempo perfecto de las clases altas gracias a los avances técnicos que transformaron el medio. Se calcula que en el Madrid de entresiglos existían no menos de mil fotógrafos amateurs y hasta más de tres mil en Barcelona. A medida que avanzaron los años, el aparato fotográfico pasó a ser un objeto común, hasta tal punto que, pasada la primera mitad del siglo XX, cualquier familia de clase media contaba con una cámara en sus hogares. Este hecho propició la progresiva acumulación de imágenes fotográficas y condicionó el destino de much
