Fixed-wing aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities need a lower speed higher lift during transition. To meet these needs, tandem-channel wing layout has been developed, including FLR (front than rear wing) configuration FUR upper configuration, which differ in height differences between the front wings. Numerical simulations have performed to investigate aerodynamic characterist...

Why might citizens vote against redistributive policies from which they would seem to benefit? Many scholars focus on “wedge” issues such as religion or race, but another explanation might be geographically-based patronage or pork. We examine the tension between redistribution and patronage with a model that combines partisan elections across multiple districts with legislation in spatial and d...

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equa...

Much attention has been devoted to how right-wing populists in Europe challenge the consensus on benefits of European integration, but left-wing resistance EU is less discussed. Existing analyses tend distinguish between three constructions political community: a postnational EU, populist right invoking national sovereignty, and left popular sovereignty. However, empirical struggle find relate ...

The relationship between right-wing ideological attitudes and psychological well-being has been intensively studied. Although some studies supported the hypothesis that right-wing attitudes are negatively related with well-being, other research yielded positive or nonsignificant relationships. We conducted a meta-analysis (total samples = 97, total N = 69,221) of measures of well-being, includi...

Lepidoptera may acquire damage to their wings throughout their lifespan. The ability to quantify the accumulated damage is relevant when studying the impact of wing damage on territorial behavior, mating systems, predation, or assessing relative age of the insect, but unfortunately, methods for accurate insect wing damage quantification are scarce. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a ne...

This article analyzes the mobilization process that began in 2013 Brazil, whose culmination is election of Jair Bolsonaro 2018. My argument there was no sudden irruption a new right wing Brazil as various authors and public intellectuals have proposed. On contrary, reactions to reforms appear from beginning redemocratization 1980s grown gradually ever since, having especially accelerated with 2...

Right-wing populism and authoritarianism are often thought to be closely linked each other: conceptually, ideologically, historically. This article challenges that assumption by reinterpreting right-wing as an essentially anti-authoritarian movement. diverges from the clearly authoritarian movements of past, such classic conservatism fascism, in at least two important ways: first, it follows a ...
