Allometry of hummingbird lifting performance.
Vertical lifting performance in 67 hummingbird species was studied across a 4000 m elevational gradient. We used the technique of asymptotic load-lifting to elicit maximum sustained muscle power output during loaded hovering flight. Our analysis incorporated direct measurements of maximum sustained load and simultaneous wingbeat kinematics, together with aerodynamic estimates of mass-specific m...
متن کاملLifting Teacher Performance
public school teaching force is neither as good as it could be nor as good as it must be to prepare our children for a global economy. Certainly, the nation has thousands of highly skilled, dedicated teachers. But, since the 1960s, the quality of the teaching profession has declined. Even more troubling, there are huge teacher quality disparities between poor and affluent schools. Disadvantaged...
متن کاملOutperforming hummingbirds’ load-lifting capability with a lightweight hummingbird-like flapping-wing mechanism
The stroke-cam flapping mechanism presented in this paper closely mimics the wing motion of a hovering Rufous hummingbird. It is the only lightweight hummingbird-sized flapping mechanism which generates a harmonic wing stroke with both a high flapping frequency and a large stroke amplitude. Experiments on a lightweight prototype of this stroke-cam mechanism on a 50 mm-long wing demonstrate that...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Hummingbird Cryptographic Algorithm using FPGA
Hummingbird is a novel ultralightweight Cryptographic Algorithm aiming at resource-constrained devices. It has a hybrid structure of block cipher and stream cipher and was developed with both lightweight software and lightweight hardware implementations for constrained devices in mind. Moreover, Hummingbird has been shown to be resistant to the most common attacks to block ciphers and stream ci...

The Network File System (NFS) version 4 is a distributed filesystem protocol which owes heritage to NFS protocol version 2, RFC 1094, and version 3, RFC 1813. Unlike earlier versions, the NFS version 4 protocol supports traditional file access while integrating support for file locking and the mount protocol. In addition, support for strong security (and its negotiation), compound operations, c...
