Abstract:
`Flying Dragon' Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf. is a dwarfing rootstock for citrus. Inheritance of dwarfing ability was studied in a population of open-pollinated seedlings of `Flying Dragon'. Molecular marker genotypes suggest that all seedlings originated from selfing. Progeny seedlings were budded with `Cutter Valencia' orange and planted in the field to evaluate the dwarfing effect of the seedling rootstock. At 5 years after planting, rankit analysis of the frequency distributions of trunk cross-sectional area and canopy volume suggested the presence of two overlapping distributions of 34 dwarf trees and 7 nondwarf. This ratio is consistent with inheritance of rootstock dwarfing as a single dominant gene for which `Flying Dragon' is heterozygous. Two morphological characteristics of `Flying Dragon', curved thorns and twisted trunk growth, were closely linked to, or pleiotropic effects of, the dwarfing gene. Bulked segregant analysis was used to identify three RAPD markers linked to the dwarfing gene. `Flying Dragon' was identical to nondwarfing cultivars of trifoliate orange at 40 homozygous and heterozygous isozyme and RFLP markers; therefore, it is likely that `Flying Dragon' originated as a mutant of a nondwarfing genotype and has not undergone sexual recombination since this event.

Abstract:
The `Flying Dragon' cultivar of Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf. is a strongly dwarfing rootstock for Citrus cultivars, reducing canopy volume of 9 year-old `Valencia' orange trees to 1/3 that of trees on standard rootstocks Open-pollinated seed of `Flying Dragon' was screened with isozyme markers to distinguish zygotic from nucellar (apomictic) seedlings. All zygotics had genotypes consistent with an origin by self-pollination. Zygotic seedlings were budded with `Valencia' orange scion and planted in the field. Of 46 progeny evaluated as rootstocks, 35 produced small trees similar to those on nucellar `Flying Dragon' and 11 produced large trees. This ratio is consistent with the 3:1 segregation expected for a single dominant gene. The dwarfing gene was closely linked, or pleiotropic with a gene causing curved thorns and stems. Several RAPD markers close to the dwarfing gene were identified with bulked segregant analysis. `Flying Dragon' apparently originated as a mutation because it had au identical genotype to non-dwarfing strains of trifoliate orange at all 38 isozyme and RFLP markers tested

Abstract:
No Brasil, o uso do trifoliata 'Flying Dragon', como porta-enxerto em citros, tem crescido quando se buscam pomares com altas densidades, devido, principalmente, a induzir nanismo à maioria das variedades de copa compatíveis. No entanto, por possuir desenvolvimento lento, existe a necessidade de se estudar melhor o crescimento desse porta-enxerto. A nutrição é uma importante ferramenta que visa a acelerar o crescimento e a melhorar o vigor e a qualidade das plantas. Diante disso, foi avaliada a aplicação de nutrientes no crescimento do porta-enxerto em três experimentos. No primeiro experimento, utilizaram-se seis doses de N parceladas; no segundo, seis doses de P (aplicadas em dose total, misturadas diretamente no substrato); e no terceiro, seis doses de K parceladas. As seis doses foram constituídas por: D0 = testemunha sem adubação; D1= metade da dose-padrão; D2 = a dose-padrão (920 mg dm-3 de N, 790 mg dm-3 de K e 100 mg dm-3 de P); D3 = uma vez e meia a dose-padrão; D4 = duas vezes a dose-padrão; e D5 = duas vezes e meia a dose-padrão. Assim, coletaram-se dados biométricos da planta de diâmetro e altura, quinzenalmente, e dados de massa seca da parte aérea e da raiz, mensalmente. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com parcela subdividida. O nitrogênio teve papel fundamental no incremento das massas secas de raiz e da parte aérea.

Abstract:
Nutrient disorders related to excessive levels of copper in soils are common in Florida citrus groves that have been under production for many years, mainly due to the continual use of copper-containing pesticides. The objectives of the study were to investigate the growth and nutritional response of six citrus rootstocks (nonbudded) grown in 4-L containers in sand to increasing concentrations of copper. The rootstocks included: Swingle citrumelo (Citrusparadisi Macf. × Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf.), Volkamer lemon (C. volkameriana Ten. and Pasq.), Cleopatra mandarin (Citrusreticulata Blanco), Flying Dragon (P. trifoliata); and two new USDA series rootstocks, US-812 (Sunki mandarin × P. trifoliata released in 2001), and US-897 (a hybrid of Cleopatra × Flying Dragon not yet released). Copper was supplied at 0.05, 0.25, 1.00, and 2.00 mg·L-1 CuEDTA incorporated into a modified Hoagland's nutrient solution. As a mean of all Cu treatments, whole plant Cu levels (μg·g-1) were: Flying Dragon, 17.33; US-897, 21.68; Cleopatra, 27.33; US-812, 28.84; Swingle, 29.74; and Volkamer, 34.05. As a mean of all Cu treatments, foliar Cu levels (μg·g-1) were greatest and least in US-812 (7.74) and Cleopatra (4.05), respectively; and root Cu levels (μg·g-1) were greatest and least in Volkamer (61.08) and Flying Dragon (30.08), respectively.

Abstract:
Resumo A redução de porte que o porta-enxerto Poncirus trifoliata var. monstrosa 'Flying dragon' confere às plantas sobre ele enxertadas pode facilitar os tratos culturais, permitir o adensamento de plantio e aumentar a eficiência produtiva, dependendo da cultivar e condições de cultivo. Para cultivares de laranjeiras, há pouca informação sobre o uso do 'Flying dragon' como porta-enxerto, principalmente no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Assim, um experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho de laranjeiras doces e da limeira ácida 'Tahiti' enxertadas sobre o porta-enxerto 'Flying dragon', durante a fase de formação do pomar, tendo o limoeiro 'Cravo' como padrão de comparação. O experimento foi conduzido em sistema de cultivo irrigado, nas condições edafoclimáticas do Norte Fluminense. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 × 5, sendo avaliados os 2 porta-enxertos citados e 5 cultivares de copas. As cultivares de copas avaliadas foram a limeira ácida 'Tahiti' e as laranjeiras doces 'Natal', 'Bahia', 'Lima Sorocaba' e 'Pera'. Foram feitas avaliações biométricas para estimar o índice de vigor vegetativo (IVV), o volume de copa e as taxas de cobertura nas linhas e entrelinhas de cultivo, atingidas aos 36 meses após o plantio. Nas condições deste experimento, verificou-se que o porta-enxerto 'Flying dragon' reduziu a altura, o IVV, as taxas de cobertura na linha e na entrelinha e o volume de copa das plantas sobre ele enxertadas, quando comparado ao limoeiro 'Cravo', mas a intensidade de redução foi dependente da cultivar-copa.

Abstract:
Twenty-one selections consisting of 13 numbered hybrids, one ornamental, and seven named cultivars were tested as rootstocks for `Valencia' orange, Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck. The test included six, four-tree replications in randomized complete blocks on sandy soil typical of the center of the Florida peninsula. Trees propagated on Vangasay lemon, HRS 812 (Sunki × Benecke trifoliate orange), and HRS 942 (Sunki × Flying Dragon trifoliate orange) produced more fruit than trees on the other 18 rootstocks in the test. Trees on 10 rootstocks, including the widely used commercial rootstocks, Swingle citrumelo and Carrizo citrange, were intermediate in cumulative fruit production. Trees on five rootstocks, including Sun Chu Sha, Gou Tou #1, and Tachibana, had low yields and trees on HRS 939 (Flying Dragon trifoliate orange × Nakorn pummelo) and sour orange #2 were extremely dwarfed and were minimally productive because of tristeza virus disease. Fouryear cumulative fruit production ranged from 52 to 317 kg per tree. Fruit from trees on HRS 954 and HRS 952 (Pearl tangelo × Flying Dragon trifoliate orange) had the highest, and fruit from trees on Vangasay and Gou Tou #1 had the lowest total soluble solids concentration.

Abstract:
Two adjacent rootstock trials were conducted in the east coast Indian River region of Florida with ‘Marsh’ grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) scion. The objective was to find rootstocks to replace sour orange (C. aurantium L.) because of losses to citrus tristeza virus, and to replace Swingle citrumelo [C. paradisi × Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] because of its limited usefulness in certain poorly drained coastal sites. The trials were conducted in randomized complete blocks with 12 single-tree replicates spaced 4.6 × 6.9 m. The soils were of the Wabasso and Riviera series. The first trial consisted largely of trees on citrange [C. sinensis (L.) Osb. × P. trifoliata] and citrumelo rootstocks, ‘Cipo’ sweet orange (C. sinensis), and various hybrid rootstocks. The second trial involved mandarin rootstocks (C. reticulata Blanco) and sour orange and related rootstocks. Trees were grown for 7 years and yield and juice quality data were collected for the last 4 years of that period. Those rootstocks identified as the most promising, based on combinations of smaller tree size and high productivity and juice quality, were two Sunki mandarin × Swingle trifoliate orange (TF) hybrids (C-54, C-146), a Sunki mandarin × Flying Dragon TF hybrid, C-35 citrange, and a Cleopatra mandarin × Rubidoux TF hybrid (×639). The trees on these five rootstocks cropped well leading to soluble solids (SS) values of 3000 to 4000 kg/ha when they were 7-years old. The trees on C-54 and C-146 were relatively large, somewhat taller than trees on sour orange, whereas those on C-35 and the Sunki × Flying Dragon hybrid were smaller and similar to sour orange in tree height. Fruit quality among the trees on C-35 and the Sunki × Flying Dragon hybrid had relatively high SS concentration (better than sour orange), and the other three rootstocks had relatively lower solids concentration (poorer than sour orange). The trees on C-35 and the Sunki × Flying Dragon hybrid would be good candidates for higher density orchards.

Abstract:
The objective of this work was to assess the effect of six rootstocks on yield, fruit quality, and growth of 'Oneco' mandarin during the first seven harvesting seasons, in Butiá, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The rootstocks evaluated were: 'Swingle' citrumelo (Citrus paradisi × Poncirus trifoliata), 'Caipira' orange (C. sinensis), 'Troyer' citrange (C. sinensis × P. trifoliata), 'Rangpur' lime (C. limonia), 'Volkamer' lemon (C. volkameriana), and 'Flying Dragon' trifoliata orange (P. trifoliata var. monstrosa). Plants budded onto 'Flying Dragon' had the lowest vegetative development, which indicates the dwarfing characteristics of this rootstock, and had the highest mean production efficiency, despite low yield. Plants grafted on 'Volkamer' lemon and 'Rangpur' lime had the highest alternate bearing. Under the experimental conditions evaluated, the most adequate rootstocks for mandarin 'Oneco' are 'Swingle' citrumelo and 'Troyer' citrange, regarding fruit yield and quality.

At each step were conducted three experiments: in the first were used six doses of nitrogen splitter, in the second six doses of phosphorus (total dose applied, mixed directly into the substrate), and the third, six doses of potassium splitter. The six doses were constituted by: D0 = control without fertilization; D1 = half the standard dose; D2 = the standard dose (920 mg dm-3 N, 790 mg dm-3 K and 100 mg dm-3 P) ; D3 = one and a half standard dose, D4 = twice the standard dose, and D5 = half times the standard dose. Thus, biometric data were collected of the rootstock every fortnight for diameter and height, and monthly for dry mass of shoots and roots. The experimental design was completely randomized with subplot. Nitrogen rates have provided significant changes in all variables, being essential in the increasing of the dry mass of root and shoot. Phosphorus is necessary only in the phase of small tube and the use of potassium was harmful

Full text
Abstract:
The ancient Chinese I Ching, the Book of Changes, and the philosophy of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) both assert that the universe exists in a state of change. The I Ching, originally a book of divination, illustrates the changing phenomena of the natural world in terms of sixty-four hexagrams, which are figures composed of six lines  yielding and firm lines, representing actual conditions and relationships existing in the world and caused by the interplay between two primordial forces, yin and yang. The I Ching shows that on the macro level the Tao works in the universe, in heaven and on earth, and on the micro level it applies to man. The I Ching teaches harmony with Tao and its power (natural law and moral law), so that its reader may take appropriate action in any given situation with reference to the hexagrams and their appended judgments as revealed by the oracle. Nietzsche, however, regards the world as the Will to Power, ‘a monster of energy’, like a storming and flooding ocean eternally changing, where harmony and order seems impossible. His mouthpiece, Zarathustra, who teaches the Übermensch, encourages a war-like attitude towards life. Zarathustra’s second metamorphosis of an evolving spirit, the warrior lion, marks the difference between the Nietzschean Übermensch and the Chinese sage who attains harmony and balance within and without, a mysterious union with heaven. Zarathustra’s third metamorphosis, a playing child, creates itself as its own ‘bridge’ through a process of self-overcoming, whereas the I Ching indicates order to be the ‘bridge’ over chaos, the order of the human world being expressed in the five cardinal relationships. Whereas the I Ching advises its reader to follow their own nature and fate in order to lead a harmonious moral life, Nietzsche’s Übermensch is ‘the annihilator of morality’ and paradoxically ‘the designation of a type of supreme achievement’ (EH Books 1). With his idea of the Übermensch, Nietzsche indicates that morality is a pose (BGE 216). He seeks to make us become aware that we should invent our own virtue and create our own way in order to become what we are. He criticizes Christian morality, calling himself ‘the first immoralist’. His shocking approach attempts to make us become aware of the possibility that a ‘noble morality’ and ‘higher moralities’ ought to be possible. His Übermensch represents such a higher mode of existence. Zarathustra also teaches the doctrine of eternal recurrence, implying that moment is eternity, changelessness within change. Multifarious manifestations are the expression of the Tao. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. Whereas ordinary men see the continuity of phenomena as real, enlightened beings are aware of the transitory and illusive nature of the self and all things. The Nietzschean Übermensch embodies the characteristics of an enlightened being, a Buddha or Bodhisattva in Buddhist terms, characteristics such as wisdom and compassion. Therefore, the practice of the Bodhisattva is explored as a feasible way for actualizing the Nietzschean hypothetical Übermensch.

Abstract:
The increasing demand of more economical and environmentally friendly aero engines leads to the proposal of a new concept – geared turbofan. In this thesis, the characteristics of this kind of engine and relevant considerations of integration on a flying wing aircraft were studied. The studies can be divided into four levels: GTF-11 engine modelling and performance simulation; aircraft performance calculation; nacelle design and aerodynamic performance evaluation; preliminary engine installation. Firstly, a geared concept engine model was constructed using TURBOMATCH software. Based on parametric analysis and SFC target, the main cycle parameters were selected. Then, the maximum take-off thrust was verified and corrected from 195.56kN to 212kN to meet the requirements of take-off field length and second segment climb. Besides, the engine performance at offdesign points was simulated for aircraft performance calculation. Secondly, an aircraft performance model was developed and the performance of FW-11 was calculated on the basis of GTF-11 simulation results. Then, the effect of GTF-11 characteristics performance on aircraft performance was evaluated. A comparison between GTF-11 and conventional turbofan, RB211- 524B4, indicated that the aircraft can achieve a 13.1% improvement in fuel efficiency by using the new concept engine. Thirdly, a nacelle was designed for GTF-11 based on NACA 1-series and empirical methods while the nacelle dimensions of conventional turbofan RB211-525B4 were obtained by measure approach. Then, the installation thrust losses caused by nacelle drags of the two engines were evaluated using ESDU 81024a. The results showed that the nacelle drags account for about 4.08% and 3.09% of net thrust for GTF-11 and RB211-525B4, respectively. Finally, the considerations of engine installation on a flying wing aircraft were discussed and a preliminary disposition of GTF-11 on FW-11 was presented.

Abstract:
A method was developed to assist with the understanding of a unique configuration and investigate some of its stability and control attributes. Oblique wing aircraft concepts are a design option that is well understood, but has yet to be used in a production aircraft. Risk involved in choosing such a design can be averted through additional knowledge early in the concept evaluation phase. Analysis tools commonly used in early conceptual level analysis were evaluated for applicability to a non-standard aircraft design such as an oblique flying wing. Many tools used in early analyses make assumptions that are incompatible with the slewed wing configuration of the vehicle. Using a simplified set of tools, an investigation of a unique configuration was done as well as showing that the aircraft could be trimmed at given conditions. Wave drag was investigated to determine benefits for an oblique flying wing. This form of drag was reduced by the distribution of volume afforded by the slewing of the aircraftâ s wing. Once a reasonable concept was developed, aerodynamic conditions were investigated for static stability of the aircraft. Longitudinal and lateral trim were established simultaneously due to its asymmetric nature.

Villa, Andres Eduardo. "Autonomous Formation Flying and Proximity Operations Using Differential Drag on the Mars Atmosphere." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2016. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1571.

Full text
Abstract:
Due to mass and volume constraints on planetary missions, the development of control techniques that do not require fuel are of big interest. For those planets that have a dense enough atmosphere, aerodynamic drag can play an important role. The use of atmospheric differential drag for formation keeping was first proposed by Carolina L. Leonard in 1986, and has been proven to work in Earth atmosphere by many missions. Moreover, atmospheric drag has been used in the Mars atmosphere as aerobraking technique to decelerate landing vehicles, and to circularize the orbit of the spacecraft. Still, no literature was available related to formation flying on Mars. To analyze the use of differential drag on the Mars atmosphere, the researcher accessed the two high resolution models available: NASA’s Mars-GRAM and ESA’s Mars Climate Database. These models allowed the simulation of conditions that a spacecraft would experience while in orbit around the planet. To explore the feasibility, the researcher first conducted a study where Mars atmosphere density was compared to Earth atmosphere, determining its applicability. Then, a simulation using MATLAB® was conducted, using a Keplerian two-body problem including the effects of Mars zonal harmonics (i.e. J2) and drag perturbations. Two 6U CubeSat were used in the simulation with deployable drag plates of different sizes, giving the possibility of having five differential drag scenarios as means of formation control. The conclusions showed that, although with some limitations, the use of differential drag as means of autonomous formation flying and proximity operations control is feasible using proven techniques previously validated in Low Earth Orbit. Lyapunov control was selected as the control strategy, where three different methods were evaluated and compared.

Fabbiane, Nicolò. "Transition delay in boundary-layer flows via reactive control." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Stabilitet, Transition, Kontroll, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-187173.

Full text
Abstract:
Transition delay in boundary-layer flows is achieved via reactive control of flow instabilities, i.e. Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves. Adaptive and model-based control techniques are investigated by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) and experiments. The action of actuators localised in the wall region is prescribed based on localised measurement of the disturbance field; in particular, plasma actuators and surface hot-wire sensors are considered. Performances and limitations of this control approach are evaluated both for two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) disturbance scenarios. The focus is on the robustness properties of the investigated control techniques; it is highlighted that static model-based control, such as the linear-quadratic- Gaussian (LQG) regulator, is very sensitive to model-inaccuracies. The reason for this behaviour is found in the feed-forward nature of the adopted sensor/actuator scheme; hence, a second, downstream sensor is introduced and actively used to recover robustness via an adaptive filtered-x least-mean-squares (fxLMS) algorithm. Furthermore, the model of the flow required by the control algorithm is reduced to a time delay. This technique, called delayed-x least-mean-squares (dxLMS) algorithm, allows taking a step towards a self-tuning controller; by introducing a third sensor it is possible to compute on-line the suitable time-delay model with no previous knowledge of the controlled system. This self-tuning approach is successfully tested by in-flight experiments on a motor-glider. Lastly, the transition delay capabilities of the investigated control con- figuration are confirmed in a complex disturbance environment. The flow is perturbed with random localised disturbances inside the boundary layer and the laminar-to-turbulence transition is delayed via a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) version of the fxLMS algorithm. A positive theoretical net-energy- saving is observed for disturbance amplitudes up to 2% of the free-stream velocity at the actuation location, reaching values around 1000 times the input power for the lower disturbance amplitudes that have been investigated.
I den här avhandlingen har reglertekniska metoder tillämpats för att försena omslaget från ett laminärt till ett turbulent gränsskikt genom att dämpa tillväxten av små instabiliteter, så kallade Tollmien-Schlichting vågor. Adaptiva och modellbaserade metoder för reglering av strömning har undersökts med hjälp av numeriska beräkningar av Navier-Stokes ekvationer, vindtunnelexperiment och även genom direkt tillämpning på flygplan. Plasmaaktuatorer och varmtrådsgivare vidhäftade på ytan av plattan eller vingen har använts i experimenten och modellerats i beräkningarna. Prestanda och begränsningar av den valda kontrollstrategin har utvärderats för både tvådimensionella och tredimensionella gränsskiktsinstabiliteter. Fokus har varit på metodernas robusthet, där vi visar att statiska metoder som linjär-kvadratiska regulatorer (LQG) är mycket känsliga för avvikelser från den nominella modellen. Detta beror främst på att regulatorer agerar i förkompenseringsläge (”feed-foward”) på grund av strömningens karaktär och placeringen av givare och aktuatorer. För att minska känsligheten mot avvikelser och därmed öka robustheten har en givare införts nedströms och en adaptiv fXLMS algoritm (filtered-x least-mean-squares) har tillämpats.                  Vidare har modelleringen av fXLMS-algoritmen förenklats genom att ersätta överföringsfunktionen mellan aktuatorer och givare med en lämplig tidsfördröjning.  Denna  metod som kallas för dxLMS (delayed-x least-mean-squares) kräver att ytterligare en givare införs långt uppströms för att kunna uppskatta hastigheten på de propagerande instabilitetsvågorna. Denna teknik har tillämpats framgångsrikt för reglering av gränsskiktet på vingen av ett segelflygplan. Slutligen har de reglertekniska metoderna testas för komplexa slumpmässiga tredimensionella störningar som genererats uppströms lokalt i gränsskiktet. Vi visar att en signifikant försening av laminärt-turbulentomslag äger rum med hjälp av en fXLMS algoritm. En analys av energibudgeten visar att för ideala aktuatorer och givare kan den sparade energiåtgången på grund av minskad väggfriktion vara upp till 1000 gånger större än den energi som använts för reglering.

In the long history of Chinese culture, the image and spirit of dragon follows with us all the time. In the long time of accumulation and cultivation, countless humane culture and classic art have been bred. Even to this day, the image of dragon is still distinct. It has rich and far-reaching symbolism and moral. It is an object that people love to see and hear and is one of the marrows of Chinese culture. Under such prerequisite, it is valuable to make effort to implement the dragon design to the visual communication design. Therefore, in Chapter 1 of article research of this study, there is a situation analysis on the research achievement of dragon design and the creation of visual communication design. In Chapter 2, there is a discussion on culture and style on dragon design of China of all the past dynasties. It becomes the theoretical foundation of creation in Chapter 3, 4 and 5. Due to the different of era and background, the Chinese dragon design has different symbol and shape. Before and Shang and Zhou Dynasty, the shape of dragon design is comparatively abstract. It gradually becomes concrete and realistic in Chin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasty. After the Sung and Yuan Dynasty, the development becomes standardized and formalized. Therefore, according to the characteristic of dragon design of all the past dynasties, this creation transmits the multiple creative spaces through the diversified media. This achieves the objectives on both cultural propagation and practical life. On the content of creation, it includes the image poster of the "surface advertisement". It also involves "stationary and accouterment" such as mouse pad, key ring, almanac, stamp, wrapping paper and name card box. Besides, it also includes "digital content" such as the design of video and audio broadcasting panel board, and screen saver. Through the creative expression on these media, the multi-level culture of dragon design is propagated. In this study of the creation, the "expression of creativity and applicability", "give consideration to functionality and artistry" and "culture of dragon and era innovation" are the major points which should be seriously considered in the creation. In other words, the good design should be able to communicate with public adequately so that people can obtain moral affecting and practical convenience from the creation. Especially on the traditional dragon design with rich culture, the particular meaning of the allegory and the beauty of the shape should be used. This will connect the traditional dragon design with the life and vogue so that the cultural originality can be concretely implemented.

Abstract:
Abstract Flying typically involves thrust or buoyancy in order to climb in altitude while trying to minimize drag. These setups can result in large, energy-exhaustive mechanisms. This paper presents a novel alternative to the traditional approaches of flying by utilizing aerodynamic drag. Drag can be used as an opposing force needed to lift a load off of the ground. The concept is verified through a series of experiments in which a balloon is used to lift a parachute to a desired height, and then an actuator with a load on the ground retracts a rope connected to the parachute. Aerodynamic drag is translated into a lifting force. This cost-effective, energy efficient, and modular method can increase the mobility of robots, delivery systems etc.

Abstract:
An ink-particle flight simulation method for industrial, continuous-type inkjet printers was developed to clarify the factors that influence the print distortion. Print distortion is produced by aerodynamic and electric interference between the ink-particles flying from the nozzle onto the print-target. The necessary functions to do this, such as the calculation of electrostatic force in the electric field between the electrodes, the Coulomb’s force from other charged ink-particles, and the drag force in the inkjet stream for many flying ink-particles were added to a Lagrangian method in the fluid dynamic analysis software that was used for the simulation. The trajectories of the ink-particles flying from this nozzle onto the print target and the air-flow caused by them were calculated simultaneously in the simulation. The simulation results for the velocities and trajectories of the flying ink-particles were compared with the experimental ones using a high-speed camera. These simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental ones, and this helps to clarify the factors that influence the print distortion.

Abstract:
Rough surfaces of flying and swimming animals help to reduce the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag when they move in the environment. In this research, biomimetic rough surface is introduced for high-speed train to reduce the aerodynamic drag. CFD tool is used to numerically study how the aerodynamic drag is altered by applying the biomimetic structures to the high-speed train surface. Rough surface is distributed in three areas: pantograph, bogie and windshield areas to reduce the drag at train speed of V = 400km/h. Concave is employed on these areas and orthogonally distributed with diameter of 40mm and center-to-center distance from 60mm to 80mm. The drag force is slightly increased/decreased in the pantograph area, while in the bogie and windshield areas rough structures lead to drag reduction with same distribution configuration. For all cases, the amount of shear drag change is much less than the pressure drag change. The total drag reduction mainly comes from pressure change. Rough surface positively contributes to changing the surface flow and thus reducing the aerodynamic drag.

Full text
Abstract:
One reason to use load/unload (L/UL) technology in hard disk drives is to avoid friction and stiction between sliders and disks during a start and stop process. However, friction between sliders and disks can still exist and has a strong effect on loading because sliders may contact disks during loading. In this paper, a new simplified friction model was proposed and implemented into the L/UL simulation code. Then, we studies two cases: A 10000 rpm server drive and A 1.0 inch Microdrive. It was found that the friction effect is smaller in the server drive case, while it is dramatic in the Microdrive case. Simulation with the proposed friction model shows that sliders will load to the third stable state if PSA is negative and the friction is big enough. In the third stable state, the slider has a negative pitch angle, and its leading edge continuously drags on the disk. In this state, we cannot do any reading/writing, and disks and sliders can be damaged.
