For many observers and supporters, the militarized nation-building project of the Karen National Union is the only authentic expression of Karen nationalism in Burma. Indeed, international agencies have played important roles in legitimizing the KNU’s ver...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Cfd-based Parametric Analysis of Down- Wind Sail Designs
This paper presents results from a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based parametric design study of two-dimensional downwind sail sections. By varying draft and camber a range of sail shapes are generated that cover the typical range of an America’s Cup Class (ACC) downwind sail inventory. In order to reduce simulation times only a solitary downwind sail is used, i.e., the influence of the m...

The first dinghy I shared was with three other equally inexperienced friends. We bought a 14 foot fibre glass family dinghy through Exchange ...
متن کاملAccessing the Solar System With a Small Solar Sail
Solar sailing is a proposed means of space propulsion in which a reflective surface collects momentum from solar photons to accelerate a vehicle. The current trend within the solar sailing community is to increase sail size as solar sailing technologies advance, allowing for larger payloads and higher accelerations. However, with the miniaturization of modern payloads, sail sizes can be dramati...
متن کاملNeonatal Pneumomediastinum, Spinnaker-Sail Sign: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Background: Pneumomediastinum (PM) occurring in approximately 0.1% of neonates is an asymptomatic accumulation of free air in the mediastinum. In this paper, we report on a preterm newborn experiencing a significant spontaneous pneumomediastinum subsequent to an uneventful vaginal delivery in the absence of resuscitation maneuvers. Case presentation:A-2560 g-ma...
