Abstract:
The extinct ocean-going plesiosaurs were unique within vertebrates because they used two flipper pairs identical in morphology for propulsion. Although fossils of these Mesozoic marine reptiles have been known for more than two centuries, the function and dynamics of their tandem-flipper propulsion system has always been unclear and controversial. We address this question quantitatively for the first time in this study, reporting a series of precisely controlled water tank experiments that use reconstructed plesiosaur flippers scaled from well-preserved fossils. Our aim was to determine which limb movements would have resulted in the most efficient and effective propulsion. We show that plesiosaur hind flippers generated up to 60% more thrust and 40% higher efficiency when operating in harmony with their forward counterparts, when compared with operating alone, and the spacing and relative motion between the flippers was critical in governing these increases. The results of our analyses show that this phenomenon was probably present across the whole range of plesiosaur flipper motion and resolves the centuries-old debate about the propulsion style of these marine reptiles, as well as indicating why they retained two pairs of flippers for more than 100 million years.

Abstract:
A turtle security that was released their habitat in conserving, it was determined by their speed and agility to swimming and diving at avoiding predators even chasing prey to be eaten. The most an important part of turtle organs for agile swimming and diving was a flipper. Flippers forward more function as paddles when swimming and diving while the rear flippers serves as a rudder to steer the direction of movement of swimming and diving. The front flippers are unlike paddle when swimming and diving, whereas, the back flippers as a rudder at direction when swimming and diving. At front flippers, there was belong a strong nails for ripping or tearing their prey, therefore, it was easy eaten. The study was intended to know a feeding effect of lemuru and seaweed on different percentage towards length plastron correlation to in front length flippers both. An experiment material that was used in the research was 75 ridley turtles, having by the ranch turtle, PT. Moncot Sari, located in Desa Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta subdistrict, Badung regency. The experiments were designed using RAL, the analysis of correlation, regression, and data processing applied Costat Statistics. The research results were obtained the highest long plastron average rows on treatment E: 36.4 cm, D: 28.7 cm, A: 28,6 cm, B: 27.6 cm and C: 26.6 (P <0.01), a length plastron correlation and regression towards long front flippers were significant both front and back. A length plastron correlation (X) with front flippers r = 0.7768, b = 03 223 and a = 18.2499 very significant (p <0:01), whereas, the correlation between long front flippers (X) and long back flippers r = 0.6346 , b = 0.9814, a = 14.6368 highly significant (P <0.01).

Abstract:
The propulsive motions of swimming harp seals (Phoca groenlandica Erxleben) and ringed seals (Phoca hispida Schreber) were studied by filming individuals in a flume. The seals swam at velocities ranging from 0.6 to 1.42 m s-1. Locomotion was accomplished with alternate lateral sweeps of the hind flippers generated by lateral flexions of the axial body in conjunction with flexion of the flippers. The frequency of the propulsive cycle increased linearly with the swimming velocity, and the maximum angle of attack of the flipper decreased, but the amplitude remained constant. The kinematics and morphology of this hind flipper motion indicated that phocid seals do not swim in the carangiform mode as categorized by Lighthill (1969), but in a distinct mode that mimics swimming by thunniform propulsors. The hind flippers acted as hydrofoils, and the efficiency, thrust power and coefficient of thrust were calculated from unsteady wing theory. The propulsive efficiency was high at approximately 0.85. The thrust power increased curvilinearly with velocity. The drag coefficient ranged from 0.012 to 0.028 and was found to be 2.8-7.0 times higher than the theoretical minimum. The drag coefficient was high compared with that of phocid seals examined during gliding or towing experiments, indicating an increased drag encumbered by actively swimming seals. It was determined that phocid seals are capable of generating sufficient power for swimming with turbulent boundary layer conditions.

Abstract:
The onset and timing of epiphyseal ankylosis in the vertebral column and flippers and ankylosis of the hyoid and sternal bones were studied in 350 skeletons of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) originating from the Baltic and North Sea and held in the collections of the Zoological Museum (University of Copenhagen), the Museum of Natural History (Gothenburg), the National Museum of Natural History (Stockholm), and the German Oceanographic Museum (Stralsund). Epiphyseal ankylosis in the vertebral column started in the anterior cervical region and then initiated around the 23rd to 26th caudal vertebrae from where it proceeded in both directions. The progression of vertebral epiphyseal ankylosis eventually terminated in the thoracic and lumbar regions. Epiphyseal ankylosis in the flippers began at the distal end of the humerus and the proximal ends of the radius and ulna. The timing of ankylosis in the flippers was more consistent across the specimens than the timing of vertebral ankylosis. Males and females had similar timing of ankylosis in the vertebral column and the flippers. Complete fusion of the hyoid and sternal bones occurred within the first year of life in most specimens. The early development of the hyoid apparatus may be linked to use of suction in feeding.

Abstract:
En flippers roll på marknaden avser individer som köper bostäder- och fastigheter, antingen på den nya marknaden eller på eftermarknaden, i syfte att tjäna på bostäderna och därmed aldrig flytta in i dem. Deras investeringar kallas för spekulantköp och har blivit vanligare de fem senaste åren. En flippers effekt på bostads- och fastighetsmarknaden är att dem skapar och påverkar marknadens prissättning. Denna studie har använt en induktiv forskningsmetod som kombinerar litteraturstudier och en empirisk ansats i form av intervjuer. Det har gjorts tre intervjuer med Boklok, Abacus och Järntorget bostad. Även intervjuer med FMF och teoretiker Hans Lind. Flippers investerar som mest i centrala Stockholm enligt antydning från FMF och är aktuella på båda marknaderna: den nya marknaden och eftermarknaden. Generellt finns ingen negativ syn på flipping, men farhågor existerar kring hur affären görs och i vilken utsträckning den kan påverka andrahands köpare och vad som skulle hända om marknaden vänder – och då hur konsekvenserna av flipping lägger sig hos byggherrarna. Resultatet visar att flipping kan medföra negativa konsekvenser i köpprocessen vid nyproduktion som medför störst risk om marknaden svänger, samt hos andrahandsköpare som kan få problem efter tillträde då flipping gjorts under felaktiga premisser.
A flippers role in the market refers to individuals who purchase real estate, either in the new market or on the after market in order to serve the housing and thus never move into them. Their investment is called speculator investments and has become more common the last five years. A flippers effect on housing and real estate market is that they create and affect market pricing. This study has used an inductive research method that combines literature and an empirical approach representing interviews. There have been three interviews with real estate companies: BoKlok, Abacus and Järntorget Bostad combined with interviews with FMF and theorist Hans Lind. In Sweden, Flippers are investing most in central Stockholm, according to hints from the FMF but are current in both markets. Generally there are no negative view of flipping, but concerns about how business is done and to what extent it can affect other hand the buyers and what would happen if the market turns - and the consequences of flipping folds of the developers. The result shows that flipping can have negative consequences in the buying process of new construction when it is it brings the greatest risk of market swings, and of second-hand buyers who might have problems after admission if flipping was done under false pretenses.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper is part of an extensive project1 which focusses on creating and implementing a scalable flipped classroom framework to broaden information and media competencies in university staff in Saxony. A flipped classroom arrangement with a sensible mix of multimedia tools promotes meaningful learning and lowers travel costs by avoiding content consumption in face-to-face time and instead offers content beforehand using various sources. This paper will in particular focus on the approach to gradually apply a flipped classroom arrangement to a B2B-Marketing course specifically designed for part-time students and use the implications to promote this method and further the step-by-step migration to the flipped classroom at universities in Saxony. Design/methodology/approach – Gathering information by reviewing previous experiences in E-Learning over the past decade, we were able to create an overview of how to approach part-time students and identified various concepts to create a more flexible and meaningful learning environment. We decided on a flipped classroom arrangement which offers time sensible teaching and promotes meaningful learning. A flipped classroom framework has been created which can be adjusted freely. Finally, we implemented the framework to a B2B-Marketing course by adapting it to the course content, time frame and attendance number. This procedure is designed to gradually increase usage of multi media tools and self efficacy and thereby steadily migrates the course to the flipped classroom. Originality/value – Focussing on part-time students’ needs and satisfying them with a flipped classroom arrangement is an entirely new approach. This project connects parttime- learning with online learning in a yet unprecedented manner. Practical implications – This paper describes the project’s two main outcomes. Firstly, an independent scalable framework which can be adapted to different learners’ and teachers’ needs. Secondly, the application strategy is described in detail and offers explicit indications and methods to implement the flipped classroom gradually. Also, there will be an evaluation which will be interpreted and summarized in a guideline as well as patterns and lessons learned. In general, this project aims to broaden media and information competencies and encourage and strengthen collaboration in higher education in Saxony.

Abstract:
Locomotion of animals, whether by running, flying, swimming or crawling, is crucial to their survival. The natural environments they encounter are complex containing fluid, solid or yielding substrates. These environments are often uneven and inclined, which can lead to slipping during footsteps presenting great locomotor challenges. Many animals have specialized appendages for locomotion allowing them to adapt to their environmental conditions. Aquatically adapted animals have fins and flippers to swim through the water, however, some species use their paddle-like appendages to walk on yielding terrestrial substrates like the beach. Beach sand, a granular medium, behaves like a solid or a fluid when stress is applied. Principles of legged locomotion on yielding substrates remain poorly understood, largely due to the lack of fundamental understanding of the complex interactions of body/limbs with these substrates on the level of the Navier-Stokes Equations for fluids. Understanding of the limb-ground interactions of aquatic animals that utilize terrestrial environments can be applied to the ecology and conservation of these species, as well as enhance construction of man-made devices. In this dissertation, we studied the locomotion of hatchling loggerhead sea turtles on granular media integrating biological, robotic, and physics studies to discover principles that govern fin and flipper locomotion on flowing/yielding media. Hatchlings in the field modified their limb use depending on substrate compaction. On soft sand they bent their wrist to utilize the solid features of sand, whereas on hard ground they used a rigid flipper and claw to clasp asperities during forward motion. A sea turtle inspired physical model in the laboratory was used to test detailed kinematics of fin and flipper locomotion on granular media. Coupling of adequate step distance, body lift and thrust generation allowed the robot to move successfully forward avoiding previously disturbed ground. A flat paddle intruder was used to imitate the animal's flipper in physics drag experiments to measure the forces during intrusion and thrust generation.

Abstract:
Humpback whales possess bumpy tubercles on the leading edge of their flippers. Due to these leading edge tubercles, the whales are able to perform complex underwater maneuvers agilely. Inspired by the flippers, this paper applies sinusoidal-like tubercles to the leading edge of the blade in an annular compressor cascade, and presents a numerical investigation to explore the effects of tubercles with the aim of controlling the corner separation and reducing losses. A preliminary study by steady 3D RANS simulations is performed. The aerodynamic performance and the behavior of the corner separation are investigated in the baseline compressor cascade. Subsequently, cascades with leading edge tubercles are numerically simulated. A crucial geometry parameter of the tubercles, wavelength, is varied to obtain different configurations. The influence of the parameter is concluded from the comparison of the performance attained by these configurations. Also, several configurations, which are typical in loss characteristics, are selected for further DES simulations so as to obtain more flow details, especially at the separation region. Flow visualizations show that leading edge tubercles could induce the formation of counter-rotating streamwise vortices. The interaction between the streamwise vortices and corner separation is emphatically investigated. By analysis of all the results obtained, this paper tries to figure out the mechanism of leading edge tubercles in loss reduction and separation delay in an annular compressor cascade.

A numerical study is performed to investigate the influence of tubercles on the aerodynamic losses and corner separation in the low speed cascades. Different low speed cascades based on a CDA airfoil profile are built with several hub-tip ratios and aspect ratios. Steady RANS simulations are carried out for these cascades with and without leading edge tubercles. The aerodynamic performance and corner separation features are subsequently investigated in these cascades. The influence of tubercles under the variation of hub-tip ratio and aspect ratio is understood and concluded from the comparison of the performance attained by different cascades. Flow visualizations at a post-stall incidence angle show that the interaction between the tubercle-induced streamwise vortices and corner separation vortices plays a crucial role in attenuating the corner separation and reducing losses. By combining the performance analysis and flow visualizations, this paper discusses the mechanism of leading edge tubercles in a low speed annular compressor cascade with different hub-tip ratios and aspect ratios.
