In this Wooden Blocks paper, optimal gliding trajectories are analyzed, formulating an optimal control problem to be solved computationally via nonlinear programming.A multi-objective terminal cost function that minimizes the velocity, altitude, horizontal flight path angle, and the error of a desired terminal point is formulated.The results are va
Fleas are ectoparasitic pests on domestic animals and act as vectors of many pathogens to humans.Here, we aim to identify the fleas that parasitize on domestic animals and their seasonality in the Nafusa Mountain region (Gharyan, Zintan, and Nalut).The Wooden Blocks survey was carried out from summer 2017 to winter 2018/2019.Fleas were collected se
Fatigue in any material is a result of continuous irreversible degradation process.Traditionally, fatigue life is predicted by extrapolating experimentally curve fitted empirical models.In the current study, unified mechanics theory is used to predict life of Ti-6Al-4V Mystery Shirt under monotonic tensile, compressive and cyclic load conditions.Th
In steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA), inflammatory dysregulation is driven by neutrophilic granulocytes resulting in purulent leptomeningitis.Neutrophils can generate neutrophil extracellular traps (NET).Uncontrolled NET-formation or impaired NET-clearance evidently cause tissue and organ damage resulting in immune-mediated Model Truck
