Safe Schedule Verification for Urban Air Mobility Networks With Node Closures

In urban air mobility (UAM) networks, takeoff and landing sites, called vertiports, are likely to experience intermittent closures due to, e.g., adverse weather. To ensure safety, all in-flight urban air vehicles (UAVs) in a UAM network must therefore have ...

Mechanical design of the optical unit and structural subsystem for a lunar camera

The project was initiated by the Moon Village Association (MVA). It is a non-governmental association which regulates the exploration program of lunar missions. The MVA also works on the development of space technologies: the Payload1 project is a part of ...

Design and development of the efficient anguilliform swimming robot- MAR

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Anouk Looijestijn

Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise, they ...

Identifying gene function and module connections by the integration of multispecies expression compendia

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Stephan Morgenthaler, Hao Li, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Elena Katsyuba, Wen Gao, Daria Rukina, Qingyao Huang, Yang Li, Changmyung Oh, Andrea Komljenovic

The functions of many eukaryotic genes are still poorly understood. Here, we developed and validated a new method, termed GeneBridge, which is based on two linked approaches to impute gene function and bridge genes with biological processes. First, Gene-Mo ...

Accuracy Prediction in Aerial Mapping

Laurent Valentin Jospin

Low cost and low weight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems with imaging capability have enjoyed a rapid development over the past years and are increasingly deployed as carriers for mapping purposes. They present a well-established tool for local-area r ...

Higher brightness beams from the SPS for the HL-LHC era

Francesco Maria Velotti

The need to push the LHC beyond its limits and increase the deliverable luminosity to the experiments by about one order of magnitude has driven the ongoing injector and HL-LHC upgrades. The higher luminosity requires to increase the beam brightness, which ...

Deactivation Aspects of Methane Oxidation Catalysts Based on Palladium and ZSM-5

Davide Ferri, Mohamed Tarik

Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas after treatment to reduce methane emissions in stationary combustion processes as well as in natural gas vehicles. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide higher activity than the commonly used Pd/Al2O3, but suffer f ...

Asteroid Deflection Campaign Design Integrating Epistemic Uncertainties

Patricia Egger, Sung Wook Paek

Asteroid deflection entails multiple sources of epistemic uncertainties and stochastic uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainties can be reduced by replenishing incomplete information with a better means of observation, whereas stochastic uncertainties are inh ...

GPS-based orbital filter to reach the moon

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano

Nowadays, global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are used for many new applications that go further than the original goal of providing position, velocity and timing for land, maritime and air applications. In particular, GNSS receivers have been adop ...

Numerical Simulations of the Apollo 4 Re-entry Trajectory

Ermioni Papadopoulou

Sample return capsules, as the Apollo Command Module have been widely used to ad- vance the knowledge and planning of manned lunar and planetary return missions. Such reentry vehicles undergo extreme thermal conditions, caused by shock-heated air during th ...
