Tiger beetles are fast diurnal predators capable of chasing prey under closed-loop visual guidance. We investigated this control system using statistical analyses of high-speed digital recordings of beetles chasing a moving prey dummy in a laboratory arena. Correlation analyses reveal that the beetle uses a proportional control law in which the angular position of the prey relative to the beetl...

The paper deals with the development of a bounded control law for Flappingwing Micro Aerial Vehicles (FMAVs) that mimics a strategy adopted by animal flapping flyers to stabilize their orientation. The control consists on generating torques about the body’s principal axes by means of a modulation of the wing angle amplitudes. It is known that flapping flyers orient their body without any numeri...

Jonathan Yovel’s article, Rights and Rites: Initiation, Language and Performancein Law and Legal Education, represents a sophisticated examination of the role language plays in legal education and law more generally. In doing so, Yovel draws upon a wealth of resources, including perhaps most centrally, traditions emerging from the philosophy of language and critical linguistics. Yovel argues th...

This study concerns whether the discrimination of a geometric angle depends on the orientations of its bounding lines or on angle size. In Experiment 1, thresholds for angle discrimination were measured in three observers for angles ranging from 15 to 180 deg, oriented either vertically or obliquely. Angle discrimination thresholds were found to depend primarily on angle size for most of the ra...

One of the emerging research areas in the strategic orientation is how to transfer different orientations from the commercial sector to the non-profit sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the mediating effect of Learning Orientation on the Market Orientation, Social Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Organizational Performance in the non-profit sector. The data from more...
