Preliminary experiment and analysis of supersonic inlet buzz
The inlet buzz phenomenon was investigated experimentally and analytically. An external-compression axisymmetric inlet model, having 74 mm in cowl lip diameter, was tested in the 229x229 sq mm blowdown wind tunnel at Mach 2.4. The test facility has shown potential for the supersonic inlet research. …

Validation of Plant Buzz Operational Data Using Serpent-DYN3D Sequence
The motivation for this work stems from the desire within the nuclear industry to improve the economic efficiency of the fuel cycle by moving to longer operational periods. The primary objective of this thesis is to validate the traditional two-step computational approach against given plant data, …

Global justice buzz : the visual rhetoric of the Beehive Design Collective
In this thesis, I examine how the Beehive Design Collective's artistic methods and politics function within the context of the global justice movement, postcolonial critiques and transnational feminist theory. I argue that the Bees' creative use of material rhetorics that combine art with political …

The effects of micro-vortex generators on normal shock wave/boundary layer interactions
… paint. At low mass-flow ratios the onset of buzz occurs in the large-scale low-boom inlet. Inlet buzz and how it is affected by vortex generators was characterized using shock tracking through high-speed schlieren imaging and pressure fluctuation measurements. The analysis revealed a dominant …

CMV Infection Affects Bumblebee Pollination Behaviour and Plant Reproductive Success
… experiments. Bumblebees pollinate tomato by ‘buzzing’ (sonicating) the flowers, which releases pollen and enhances self-fertilization and seed production as well as pollen export. First, I established that CMV-infected tomato plants produced fruits with a lower seed yield than mock-inoculated …
