Sensing Atmospheric Winds from Quadrotor Motion
… have higher performance resolving slow-varying winds based on a frequency response analysis and field experiments conducted next to a 3-D sonic anemometer. The dissertation also presents an extension of the rigid body wind estimation framework to profile the horizontal components of wind …

perennial: for winds, strings, guitar, and drums
perennial is a four-movement work with an interlude that is scored for violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, alto flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, electric guitar, and drum set. This genre-elusive piece centers around perpetual cycles of growth and decay and explores verdant textures, wandering …

By hotter winds : the road to Samarkand
… I put my version of it in writing. By Hotter Winds captures the exhilaration and tedium of travel and the shared experience of a journey by car. At the same time it offers narrow glimpses into the history of the faded Silk Road, its cities and its people.

F-region winds over the central polar cap
F-region neutral winds across the polar cap have been studied by utilizing a Fabry-Perot interferometer located at Eureka (89° CGM), Nunavut Territory, over a 2-winter period 1997/98 and 1998/99. The dependence of neutral winds on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was studied with …

The Origin and Development of the Australian Winds
… members, guest conductors, and Australian Winds personnel as well as a review of primary source documents. The impact of the Australian Winds on the fledgling Australian band movement has yet to be determined. Further research in Australian music education and the history of the Australian …

Studying Accretion Disc Winds with X-ray Spectroscopy
… of matter in compact objects. Accretion disc winds are formed of hot and ionised material launched by magnetic forces, radiation pressure or thermally from the discs of accretors. They have been discovered in most types of accreting systems including supermassive black holes, classical X-ray …

Gap winds in a fjord : Howe Sound, British Columbia
… economic activity and comfort. Howe Sound gap winds were studied using a combination of observations and several types of models. Observations of winds in Howe Sound showed that gap wind strength varied considerably along the channel, across the channel and vertically. Generally, winds increase …

Prevailing Winds: Radical Activism and the American Indian Movement.
<p>In 1968 a number of Chippewa Indians met in Minneapolis, Minnesota to discuss some of the problems they faced in their communities. This meeting gave birth to the American Indian Movement. From 1968 to 1974, the American Indian Movement embarked on a series of radical protests designed to draw …

Winds of Change: Mexico in a Town in Appalachia
This qualitative study examined the changes that have occurred due to global and hemispheric market forces, and particularly through Hispanic immigration, in a small town in Southwest Virginia. The interdisciplinary study is written as a narrative, and includes descriptions of the town and people …

The Winds of Change: The effects of katabatic winds on fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier stability at Sermilik Fjord and Helheim Glacier
Katabatic winds or downslope wind events, across the southeast of Greenland, can lead to large scale changes in fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier terminus stability, but despite this few studies have investigated their wider implications. In period of rapidly retreating tidewater …

Time-Resolved PIV Measurements of Ship Airwakes with Quartering Winds
<p>The unsteady, three-dimensional, turbulent airwake over the Simple Frigate Ship No. 2 (SFS2) with quartering wind flow directions was studied in a low-speed wind tunnel facility. Surface oil flow visualization and time-resolved stereoscopic and planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) …

Multidimensional diffusive shock acceleration in the Winds from massive stars
Nonthermal radio emission has been seen in the winds around a quarter of all O-stars. The emission is attributed to shock accelerated cosmic rays. The shocks thought to be causing the acceleration are either wind-embedded shocks due to radiative line driving instabilities in the stellar wind, or …

Evolution of diurnal surface winds and surface currents for Monterey Bay
The diurnal-period fluctuations of winds and surface currents are analyzed for September 1992 in and around Monterey Bay. Wind records are compared for three coastal stations and two mooring sites. Remotely-sensed surface current observations from two CODAR (HF radar) sites are used to explore the …

Probabilistic extreme response analysis of large wind turbines to natural winds
… often dominated by extreme response under strong winds. The upper tail of wind speed distribution may not be well represented by the distribution model determined from bulk wind speed data. Improved methods are proposed for estimating long-term extreme response of parked turbine by using more …
