We present high angular resolution (down to ∼ 1.5′′) interferometric maps of the CO J = 1→0 and J = 2→1 emission in the molecular outflow associated with the extremely young HH 211 jet, which is located in the IC 348 molecular complex. At velocities close to the systemic velocity, the CO emission traces the outflow cavities, while an extremely collimated, continuous jet-like structure is observ...

The parsec-scale radio jet of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 111 has been monitored since 1995 as part of the 2cm Survey and MOJAVE monitoring observations conducted with the VLBA. Here, we present results from 18 epochs of VLBA observations of 3C 111 and from 18 years of radio flux density monitoring observations conducted at the University of Michigan. A major radio flux-density outburst of 3...

The continuing development of fully autonomous aircraft requires advanced sensing and control systems in order to complete difficult tasks such as aerial refueling and close formation flight. To accomplish such maneuvers, an aircraft must be able to measure the location of nearby aircraft and position itself relative to these other flight vehicles. In visually degraded environments where vision...

Evolutionary constraints which limit the forces produced during bell contractions of medusae affect the overall medusan morphospace such that jet propulsion is limited to only small medusae. Cubomedusae, which often possess large prolate bells and are thought to swim via jet propulsion, appear to violate the theoretical constraints which determine the medusan morphospace. To examine propulsion ...

in our present research, we focus on the modeling of airflow related to natural disasters, such assand accumulation, with urban form studies. the objective is to find which urban form can promote sand passing andreduce as much as possible stagnation of sand in the building area (streets, alleys, etc.). the urban form design will bediscussed through the simulation of airflow by using computation...

An axisymmetric jet issued from a sharp edged circular convergent nozzle has been studied experimentally in the near field at Reynolds number 5.3x104  to search the saddle shape behavior of mean velocity and the role of mean static pressure in the jet flow. Due to the vena contracta effect the centerline mean velocity of the jet increases about 4.2% of its exit value and corresponding decrease ...

Bibliography This special bibliography contains references that have been sent to us as well as citations for abstracts from scientific meetings. It is not intended to be a complete bibliography, rather it presents a sample of the work that has been done with this equipment. Abstract 320.I, pg. A173. L.F. 2003. Self-reported sleep quality and fatigue correlates with actigraphy in midlife women ...

The effect of a chordwise flexible aft-tail rigid heaving aerofoil on the dynamical transitions trailing-wake is studied here. two-way coupled fluid–solid dynamics simulated using an in-house fluid–structure interaction (FSI) platform, comprising discrete forcing immersed boundary method based incompressible Navier–Stokes solver, weakly with finite difference structural solver. FSI in compariso...
