Introduction Like rotating propeller blades, flapping wings of an insect draw air from above the wing and generate flight forces by imparting momentum to this air. Thus, a natural consequence of any flapping activity is an induced airflow along the body of the insect. This flow envelops the flying insect and influences many flight-related physiological and sensory processes. and various mass ex...

Anti-gender actors in East-Central Europe (ECE) too claim that gender is an ideological colonization. In this article, contrasting these accusations with actually existing power relations of the global and European architecture, I discuss whether they are – at least to some extent based on social realities. Neither anti-gender campaigns nor rise illiberal forces ECE phenomena per se should not ...

Abstract The development, validation, and applications of an object-oriented free-wake solver for multi-rotor fixed-wing systems are outlined here. Advantages utilizing the philosophy modeling multi-rotor/wing problem described. To explore feasibility conventional desktop workstations, vortex lattice methodology’s time complexity is examined as evolving n-body advantage gained from employing wa...

Pseudogymnoascus destructans is the causative fungal agent of white-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging fungal-borne epizootic. WNS is responsible for a catastrophic decline of hibernating bats in North America, yet we have limited understanding of the physiological interactions between pathogen and host. Pseudogymnoascus destructans severely damages wings and tail membranes, by causing dryness th...

the basic question of the present article is about the world in which we dwell .it will be indicated that the essential character of this world is its east-west orientation, which appears in different aspects of our life: in our geographical understanding and directions, in politics, in ideologies that push politics ahead, in history of culture and finally even in the history itself. this histo...

It was recently suggested that a proximal to distal gradient of the protocadherin Dachsous (Ds) acts as a cue for planar cell polarity (PCP) in the Drosophila wing, orienting cell-cell interactions by inhibiting the activity of the protocadherin Fat (Ft). This Ft-Ds signaling model is based on mutant loss-of-function phenotypes, leaving open the question of whether Ds is instructive or permissi...
