Over the past decade, role of anatomical teaching in undergraduate medical curriculum has changed considerably. At some schools, active dissection cadaveric specimens is gradually being replaced by prosection-based methods and other resources such as e-learning. Warwick Medical School recently obtained a large collection plastinated prosections, which replace wet anatomy teaching. The aim this study was to examine students' views on use prosections for their learning. A mixed method approach...
Temporally resolved temperature imaging of a fuel jet in hot, nonoxidizing supersonic cross flow is described. The measurements are obtained with two lasers and intensified cameras, two-line ratio planar laser-induced fluorescence from nitric oxide, seeded either the or both flow. Diagnostic issues related to application technique high-speed combustion flows addressed include sensitivity, transition selection, measurement resolution, lifetime, temporal intensifier camera dynamicrange...
Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging has been used to examine the mixing and combustion of a sonic jet gas injected transversely into supersonic freestream flowing within shock tube. Single-shot frame-averaged images have acquired for nonreacting reacting flows in side-view end-view orientations. In experiments, nitric oxide seeded fluid was penetration with freestream, without influence chemical reaction heat release. hydroxyl radical (OH), formed by hydrogen an oxidizing locate...
While several introductory computer science curricula exist for children in K-8, there are few options that go beyond sequence, loops, and basic conditionals. The goal of this project is to not only fill gap with a high-quality curriculum supported by complete instructional materials, but also do so an equity-balanced curriculum. That is, values advancing equity equally student learning outcomes. In paper, we introduce barriers public school classrooms, pedagogical approaches...
As computer science instruction gets offered to more young learners, transitioning from elective requirement, it is important explore the relationship between pedagogical approach and student behavior. While different approaches have particular motivations intended goals, little known about what degree they satisfy those goals.
Finding the source of an accidental or deliberate release a toxic substance into atmosphere is great importance for national security. The paper presents search algorithm turbulent environments which falls class cognitive (infotaxi) algorithms. Bayesian estimation parameter vector carried out using Rao–Blackwell dimension-reduction method, while robots are controlled autonomously to move in scalable formation. Estimation and control centralised replicated fusion architecture assuming...
Fuel-cell based hybrid propulsion systems are being considered as a means to increase the endurance and range of small electric powered unmanned aerial vehicles. However fuel cell durability is limited by rapid load changes requested autopilot. In fuel-cell/battery /supercapacitor triple battery provides boost power whilst supercapacitor increases life through levelling. This paper presents analysis system using high fidelity hardware-in-the-loop simulator. The simulator allows accurate...
A comprehensive set of preliminary sizing correlations can be invaluable in the early design stages any aircraft or to provide initial characteristics for multidisciplinary optimization. For unmanned aircraft, such a is not available. The current paper provides based on data 856 fixed-wing platforms. Correlations main mission, mass, and geometric parameters are derived through nonlinear least-squares regression analysis. Where needed, distinction made between employing different propulsion...
Temperature measurements were performed in a shock-tunnel-generated free jet of hydrogen/oxygen reaction products diluted argon with nonsimultaneous, two-excitation-line planar laser-induced fluorescence technique the hydroxyl radical (OH) as tracer. Single-shot images obtained broadband excitation isolated transitions A2Σ+ ← X2Π(1, 0) band OH near 282 nm, broadband, temporally integrated detection resulting nonresonant emission. A measurement lifetime showed no variation excited rotational...
This paper explores a method by which an unpowered, fixed-wing micro air vehicle (MAV) may autonomously gain height utilising orographic updrafts in urban environments. These are created when wind impinges on both man-made and natural obstacles, often highly turbulent very localised. Thus contrast to most previous autonomous soaring research, have focused large thermals ridges, we use technique inspired kestrels known as 'wind-hovering', order maintain unpowered flight within small updrafts....
Visually based velocity and position estimations are often used to reduce or remove the dependency of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on global navigation satellite system signals, which may be unreliable in urban canyons unavailable indoors. In this paper, a sensor-fusion algorithm extended Kalman filter is developed for velocity, position, attitude estimation UAV using low-cost sensors. particular inertial measurement unit (IMU) optical-flow sensor that includes sonar module additional...
Interest in polarimetric inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) systems has been growing because of their capability to provide extra information about the imaged target compared with single polarisation ISAR systems. Target classification and recognition can be improved by exploiting full images. Moreover, exploited for improving image formation particular autofocusing. Two novel autofocusing techniques are defined extending two well-known techniques, namely contrast-based autofocus...
