A convolutional autoencoder is trained using a database of airfoil aerodynamic simulations and assessed in terms overall accuracy interpretability. The goal to predict the stall investigate ability distinguish between linear non-linear response pressure distribution changes angle attack. After sensitivity analysis on learning infrastructure, we latent space identified by targeting extreme compr...

Translocation of a single stranded DNA (ssDNA) through an alpha -hemolysin channel in a lipid membrane driven by applied transmembrane voltage V was extensively studied recently. While the bare charge of the ssDNA piece inside the channel is approximately 12 (in units of electron charge) measurements of different effective charges resulted in values between one and two. We explain these challen...

Abstract The identification of stall inception mechanisms and stability-limiting components in a centrifugal compressor is required for the development effective surge suppression approaches. Part I this two-part paper investigates signature at subsonic, transonic, supersonic inlet tip conditions, II considers relationship with static pressure characteristics, as well impeller leading edge rela...

26 herds with 71 586 individual records were used. We tested a hypothesis that milk efficiency was influenced by the elevation of the farm, housing system, breed, area of altitude, and by the cooling of dairy cows. There were 20 herds from lowlands and 6 herds from mountains, 20 herds from free-stall housing, 6 herds from tie-stall housing. 8 herds consisted of Slovakian Pied cattle, 4 herds of...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of grazing (G) vs. zero-grazing (ZG), level of milk production, and quality and type of housing system [free stalls (FS) and straw yards (SY)] on the prevalence of lameness and leg injuries in dairy cows. Observations were made on 37 commercial dairy farms across Great Britain. A single visit of 5 d duration was made to each farm. During this visit...

Airplanes and helicopters use high aspect ratio wings to reduce the power required to fly, but must operate at low angle of attack to prevent flow separation and stall. Animals capable of slow sustained flight, such as hummingbirds, have low aspect ratio wings and flap their wings at high angle of attack without stalling. Instead, they generate an attached vortex along the leading edge of the w...

The presence of a stable leading edge vortex (LEV) on steadily revolving wings increases the maximum lift coefficient that can be generated from the wing and its role is important to understanding natural flyers and flapping wing vehicles. In this paper, the role of LEV in lift augmentation is discussed under two hypotheses referred to as 'additional lift' and 'absence of stall'. The 'additiona...
