Downside Up:Rethinking Parcel Position for Aerial Delivery

Dario Floreano, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, William John Stewart, Mir Alikhan Bin Mohammad Feroskhan

The conventional approach to parcel placement in most delivery drone designs today is to place the parcel centrally beneath the drone's rotor plane. However, if the parcel is too large, this will result in an obstruction of the propeller slipstream, incurr ...

Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

Extended main sequence turnoffs in open clusters as seen by Gaia - II. The enigma of NGC 2509

Carmela Lardo

We investigate the morphology of the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the open cluster NGC 2509 in comparison with other Galactic open clusters of similar age using Gaia photometry. At similar to 900 Myr Galactic open clusters in our sample all show an ex ...

Angular Color Prediction Model for Anisotropic Halftone Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Roger Hersch, Lin Yang, Petar Pjanic

Under specular reflection, non-isotropic halftones such as line halftones printed on an ink-receiving plastic layer superposed with a metallic layer change their colors upon in-plane rotation of the print. This color change is due to the orientation-depend ...

Deformation of the moving magnetic skyrmion lattice in MnSi under electric current flow

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White, Zhuo Quan Im

Topological defects are found ubiquitously in various kinds of matter, such as vortices in type-II superconductors, and magnetic skyrmions in chiral ferromagnets. While knowledge on the static behavior of magnetic skyrmions is accumulating steadily, their ...

A transmurally heterogeneous orthotropic activation model for ventricular contraction and its numerical validation

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Rossi, Luca Barbarotta

Models for cardiac mechanics require an activation mechanism properly representing the stress-strain relations in the contracting myocardium. In this paper, we propose a new activation model that accounts for the transmural heterogeneities observed in myoc ...

Optimized up-down asymmetry to drive fast intrinsic rotation in tokamaks

Justin Richard Ball

Breaking the up-down symmetry of the tokamak poloidal cross-section can significantly increase the spontaneous rotation due to turbulent momentum transport. In this work, we optimize the shape of flux surfaces with both tilted elongation and tilted triangu ...

Bayesian adaptation of chaos representations using variational inference and sampling on geodesics

Panagiotis Tsilifis

A novel approach is presented for constructing polynomial chaos representations of scalar quantities of interest (QoI) that extends previously developed methods for adaptation in Homogeneous Chaos spaces. In this work, we develop a Bayesian formulation of ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints on metal

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic substrate. We use a special crossline halftone with optimized surface coverages of the inks to create color prints on a metallic surface whose ...

Vehicle Having a High Clearing Capability

Thomas Estier

The invention relates to a vehicle which includes at least four wheels and a base. Said wheels are attached in pairs at the base via connections and form a bogie consisting of a pair of wheels. Said bogies are rotatably hinged onto the base such that the p ...
