Flowfield study of a close-coupled canard configuration
… a flowfield survey behind a close-coupled canard and wing model set a 32 degrees angle of attack. The canard and wing were both low-aspect-ratio, highly swept, delta platforms with rounded leading edges. The model was set at to condition of maximum life enhancement of the canard/wing …

Structural analysis and multidisciplinary design of flexible fluid loaded composite canard
<p>Mechanical performance of a composite canard subject to static aerodynamic loads was numerically studied in the present research. The canard was modeled as a symmetrically laminated curved panel, consisting of 8 plies of T300/5208 graphite/epoxy composite laminate. Modeling of this …

An experimental and computational aerodynamic investigation of a low-canard high-wing aircraft design
… and computational investigation of a low-canard high-wing aircraft design has been conducted. The aircraft studied has a canard and wing of similar chord and airfoil section. The canard is approximately half the span of the main wing and both surfaces are untwisted and unswept. Canard …

A framework for designing constructionist approaches to community-centered messaging
… and apathy. An experimental platform, Canard, has been built in order to explore this framework. It provides a unified communication representation and tools that allow rapid development of community-centered communication applications that do not require significant expertise to use …

Analysing Mathematical Models of Intracellular Calcium Dynamics using Geometric Singular Perturbation Techniques
… relaxation oscillations are seen and those where canard induced mixed mode oscillations are present. We find that in some cases these techniques are very useful and explain the observed dynamics well, but that the theory is limited in its ability to explain the dynamics when there are three or …

Design and manufacturing of a VTOL Micro Aerial Vehicle
… surface and the control surfaces act as movable canard wings. Power is provided by an off the shelf 0.25 cubic inch displacement 2-stroke glow-fuel engine. A volume of 9 cubic inches has been set aside in the main fuselage to house the Draper Micro Electromechanical integrated navigation package. …

Aerodynamic pitch-up of cranked arrow wings: estimation, trim, and configuration design
… benefits and shortfalls of tail, tailless, and canard configurations. The estimation method used a vortex lattice method to calculate the inviscid flow solution. Then, the results were adjusted to account for flow separation on the outboard wing section by imposing a limit on the equivalent 2-D …

On the interaction of rate-induced and bifurcation-induced tipping in ecosystems
… tipping-tracking transitions due to maximal-canard solutions that, perhaps surprisingly, follow unstable states for infinite time. We also uncover non-trivial dynamics arising from the interaction between B-tipping and R-tipping. Given a monotone parameter shift that causes tipping, we ask if …

The Geometry of Isochrons in Planar Systems
… in a local region of phase space; and a canard explosion (in the Van der Pol system). Finally, we present our method for computing isochrons of periodic orbits and focus equilibria, and a novel approach for computing phase response curves, which is accurate for any size of the …

Patriotic Attachment, Libidinal Economy, and Cosmopolitan Citizenship: A Qualified Defense of Patriotic Love
Terms such as "fascist" and "nazi" retain light and even comical currency in contemporary pop culture despite the gravity of the events that produced them. Departing from this common usage, I consider within political and psychoanalytic frameworks the normative effects common understandings of …

Fauxtopia
To all who come to this fictitious place:Welcome.Fauxtopia is your land. Here, age relives distorted memories of the past, and here, youth may savor the challenge of trying to understand the present. Fauxtopia is made up of the ideals, the dreams and the fuzzy facts which have re-created reality... …
