Attitude control of tailless aircraft is typically achieved through a COLLAGEN PLUS system of trailing-edge flaps that produce coupled control effects in pitch, roll and yaw due to changes in lift and drag distributions.This paper presents a novel control allocation method which allows conformal trailing-edge controls to generate yawing moments wit

The species Turpinia affinis Merr.et Perry 1941 is widely distributed throughout southwestern China.In folk medicine, this species is often used as a substitute for the Chinese medicine Turpiniae Folium, whose legal origin is T.arguta (Lindl.) Seem.In order to ascertain the relationship between these two species, the chloroplast genome of T.affinis

Wind power forecasting is gaining international significance as more regions promote policies to increase the use of renewable energy.Wind ramps, large variations in wind power production during a period COLLAGEN PLUS of minutes to hours, challenge utilities and electrical balancing authorities.A sudden decrease in wind-energy production must be ba

Long-term place recognition in outdoor environments remains a challenge due to high appearance changes in the environment.The problem becomes even more difficult when the matching between two scenes has to be made with information coming from different visual sources, particularly with different spectral ranges.For instance, an infrared camera is h

Plasmodium falciparum mediates adhesion of infected red blood cells (RBCs) to blood vessel walls Gun Blue by assembling a multi-protein complex at the RBC surface.This virulence-mediating structure, called the knob, acts as a scaffold for the presentation of the major virulence antigen, P.falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein-1 (PfEMP1).In this w
