Komet by Lim, Guo Jun

“…Snow falls, star falls One step, one beginning Two worlds meet one A trail to ever last Butterfly city, never night city Red light, green light Ghosts of thousand faces Beckoning from the wall Good, bad, and ugly Stone ocean, iron sky Omens of million wings The lady fortune frowns So ends the pendulum Farewell goodbye An empty longing For things long gone -In memory of all good things-…”

A numerical study on bio-inspired aerofoils oscillating in tandem by Chua, Kok Nam

“…As a dragonfly has two pairs of wings, a natural progression would be to expand on these findings into investigating the effects and flow interactions between two tandemly-positioned aerofoils in synchronised pitching motion. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…A recently developed mechanism-based clinical framework for spine-related pain distinguishes between spinally referred pain without neurological deficits (somatic referred pain, heightened nerve mechanosensitivity, radicular pain), with neurological deficits (radiculopathy), and mixed-pain presentations. …”

4D printing of butterfly scale-inspired structures for wide-angle directional liquid transport by Liu, Xiaojiang, Li, Boyuan, Gu, Zhongze, Zhou, Kun

“…Inspired by the wide-angle (0° < α < 180°) liquid transport on butterfly wings, this work successfully achieves linear (α = 0°), wide-angle, and even ultra-wide-angle (α = 180°) liquid transport by four-dimensional (4D) printing of butterfly scale-inspired re-entrant structures. …”

Harnessing Instability Mechanisms in Airfoil Flow for Data-Driven Forecasting of Extreme Events by Barthel, Benedikt, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…These extreme excursions may be seen as prototypical of the kind of unsteady and intermittent dynamics relevant to the flow around airfoils and wings in a variety of real-world applications. Here we investigate the instability mechanisms at the heart of these extreme events, and how they may be harnessed for efficient data-driven forecasting. …”

Apocryphal Joyce: fuga per canonem by Holtkamp, G

“…This phrase, from his notes for Ulysses, is especially apt for Joyce given his early connection of the writer as craftsman and apostate with Daedalus, the mythic figure whose wings symbolized for Joyce the liberated intellect of the artist.…”

Archaia Phusis: the original nature of the soul in Plato’s Middle Dialogues by Körner, H

“…<em>Phronēsis</em> is the true way of having virtue of character because it purifies the soul from bodily beliefs, desires, and fears (<em>Phaedo</em>, <em>Republic</em>), a process which the <em>Phaedrus</em> depicts as a regrowing of the soul’s wings.</p> <p>Tracing the theme of the soul’s <em>archaia phusis</em> in these dialogues touches on central questions in the study of Plato: do the soul’s lower parts survive in our fully purified condition? …”

Development of mechanically robust self-cleaning coatings for large structure protection by Kumar, Divya

“…The main objective of this project is to develop self-cleaning coatings for large outdoor structures like wind turbine blades and aircraft wings with enhanced mechanical properties. The project aims to achieve this through understanding the main factors affecting the key functionalities of abrasion and erosion resistant self-cleaning coatings. …”
