Modern aircraft are capable of maneuvers exceeding those possible by purely aerodynamic design. This capability, called supermaneuverability, includes rapid changes in acceleration and high-G turns that are not feasible from traditional aircraft. Furthermore, newer aircraft often have a low radar cross-section (RCS) profile and/or RCS which varies rapidly with look angle. This paper summarizes ...

The adult morphology of the tail varies greatly among extant fishes despite sharing both ontogenetic similarities and the functional need to propel the body through a fluid medium. Both sharks (Chondrichthyes) and ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) control caudal fin musculature independently of axial body myomere activity to modify the stiffness and shape of their tails. For example, sharks an...

Real-time in vivo imaging of the microvasculature may help both earlier clinical detection of disease and the understanding of tumor-host interaction at various stages of progression. In vivo confocal and multiphoton microscopy is often hampered by bulky optics setup and has limited access to internal organs. A fiber-optic setup avoids these limitations and offers great user maneuverability. We...

Renal cell carcinoma associated with fused ectopic kidneys has rarely been reported in the literature. Here we report the first case of robot-assisted heminephrectomy for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in an L-shaped fused ectopic kidney. The present case report highlights the importance of three-dimensional vision and enhanced maneuverability with the EndoWrist technology of the robotic surg...

The multichannel and fixed parameters radars for tracking targets with the phased array antennas are widely used in modern military surveillance systems. modular integration of a antenna digital processors allows to realize command control functions patterns multiple time resolution modes. Tracking air range, radial speed angular coordinates evaluations azimuth is provided by means without adap...
