Process development for grid generations to simulate hypersonic flow around a generic re-entry capsule by Krishna Contractor

“…The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal blocking strategy to predict the flow around a generic Apollo space-return capsule. The study uses an iterative procedure of domain size and mesh adaptions followed by steady state simulations to optimize the number of grid points as well as the number of blocks in which the domain has been split. …”

Domain adaption for semantic segmentation by Saklani Pankaj

“…This project will discuss the use of domain adaption in the context of semantic segmentation, creating and evaluation a Convolutional Neural Network model to train on Berkley Deep Drive Dataset and through domain adaption, perform semantic segmentation on ApolloScape Dataset. The report will elaborate on the domain adaption technique Maximum Mean Discrepancy, the data pre-processing methods, the data augmentation methods, and the architecture of the model created. …”

I and we: Hannah Arendt, participatory plurality, and the literary scaffolding of collective intentionality by Morgan, B, Rokotnitz, N, Budelmann, F, Zahavi, D

“…The three literary provocations presented here—Callimachus’s “Hymn to Apollo,” Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain, and Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace—all interrogate the situated interactions of “I’s” and “We’s” that instantiate the “participatory plurality” of the shared world.…”

Human SNM1A suppresses the DNA repair defects of yeast pso2 mutants. by Hazrati, A, Ramis-Castelltort, M, Sarkar, S, Barber, L, Schofield, C, Hartley, J, McHugh, P

“…Human cells possess three orthologues of Pso2; SNM1A, SNM1B/Apollo and SNM1C/Artemis. Studies using mammalian cells disrupted or depleted for these genes have yielded equivocal evidence that any of these is a true functional homologues of the yeast gene. …”

International prestige and the American space programme by Alston, G, Alston, Giles

“…This was appreciated by advocates of a manned lunar landing, who were able to present the Apollo project to him in terms of its international prestige value.…”

Algebra of systems: A metalanguage for model synthesis and evaluation by Koo, Benjamin H. Y., Simmons, Willard L., Crawley, Edward F.

“…To show that AoS can automate complex model reasoning tasks in system design projects, we implemented the abstract algebraic specification as an executable metalanguage named object-process network, which serves as a tool for automatic model transformation, enumeration, and evaluation. A case study of the Apollo lunar landing mission design is developed using this algebraic modeling approach.…”

The marble statuettes from the Athenian Agora, first century BC to fourth century AD by Martens, B

“…The statuettes depict gods and goddesses in the forms of well-known classical and hellenistic models: Aphrodite, Asklepios, Eros, Artemis, Herakles, Pan, Apollo, Tyche, and Hermes, among others. In addition to the close autopsy and description of individual works, the primary aim of this study is to examine the statuettes as a group of cultural artefacts that document religion, society, and artistic production in Athens and beyond. …”

Material characterisation of William Burges’ Great Bookcase within the disruption of a global pandemic by Ghigo, T, Bone, D, Howell, D, Domoney, K, Gironda, M, Beeby, A

“…However, thanks to the timeliness of a substantial research grant received from the Capability for Collection Fund (CapCo, Art and Humanities Research Council), we could ultimately turn this research into a unique opportunity to test the potential of recently acquired instruments, namely the Opus Apollo infrared camera and the Bruker CRONO XRF mapping spectrometer. …”
