Bioinspired morphing wings for extended flight envelope and roll control of small drones

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Flavio Noca, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Matteo Di Luca

Small-winged drones can face highly varied aerodynamic requirements, such as high manoeuvrability for flight among obstacles and high wind resistance for constant ground speed against strong headwinds that cannot all be optimally addressed by a single aero ...

Scale-dependent effects of solar radiation patterns on the snow-dominated hydrologic response

Andrea Rinaldo, Michael Lehning, Bettina Schaefli, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay, Gianluca Botter, Pierfrancesco Da Ronco

Solar radiation is a dominant driver of snowmelt dynamics and streamflow generation in alpine catchments. A better understanding of how solar radiation patterns affect the hydrologic response is needed to assess when calibrated temperature-index models are ...

Solar light (hv) and H2O2/hv photo-disinfection of natural alkaline water (pH 8.6) in a compound parabolic collector at different day periods in Sahelian region

César Pulgarin, Juliette Ndounla

The photo-disinfection of natural alkaline surface water (pH 8.6 +/- 0.3) for drinking purposes was carried out under solar radiation treatments. The enteric bacteria studied were the wild total coliforms/Escherichia coli (10(4) CFU/ml) and Salmonella spp. ...

The Dynamics of Shadow: Architecture of Natural Light in Extreme Latitudes

Marilyne Andersen, Mandana Sarey Khanie, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

While architecture is composed of static structural elements, daylit space is perceived as a dynamic play of light and shadow – ephemeral qualities that add depth, texture, and movement to spatial composition. Our perception of architecture is greatly impa ...

SALSA: a tool to estimate the stray light contamination for low-Earth orbit observatories

Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

Stray light contamination reduces considerably the precision of photometric of faint stars for low altitude space-borne observatories. When measuring faint objects, the necessity of coping with stray light contamination arises in order to avoid systematic ...

Nonlinear Analysis of a Coaxial Microhelicopter with a Bell Stabilizer Bar

Philippe Müllhaupt, Basile Graf

Nonlinear modeling of coaxial microhelicopters is studied. All equations are derived using a Lagrangian approach and simplified aerodynamics assumptions so that all parameters have a physical meaning; there is no “black box.” The model is constructed with ...

Photoelectrochemical Tandem Cells for Solar Water Splitting

Kevin Sivula, Mathieu Steven Prévot

In order to be economically competitive with simple "brute force" (i.e., PV + electrolyzer) strategies or the production of promising solar fuels, like H-2, from fossil fuels, a practical photoelectrochemical device must optimize cost, longevity, and perfo ...

Evolution of the observed Ly alpha luminosity function from z=6.5 to z=7.7: evidence for the epoch of reionization?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

Aims. Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of reionization. The evolution of the LAE luminosity function with redshift is a direct probe of the Ly alpha transmission of the intergalactic medium (IGM), and the ...
