Is clicking mechanism good for flapping wing micro aerial vehicle? by Chin, Yao Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…When moved passed the midpoint, it now tends to move to the other extreme, together with the external force, resulting in a fast, snapping ‘click’ to the other extreme. Hence, the clicking prototype showed a sudden high increase in wing flap speed when it is moved beyond midpoint towards the other end. …”

Effect of dopant solubility and excess doping on the superconducting properties of doped Nb3Sn prepared by field assisted sintering technique by Srivastava, N, Matthews, GAB, Liu, J, Speller, SC, Grovenor, CRM, Santra, S

“…Ru and Y-doped Nb₃Sn superconducting alloys were prepared through mechanical alloying (MA) route followed by sintering using Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST). Analysis by X-ray diffraction demonstrates a significant decrement in crystallite size up to 0.5 wt% for the Ru-doped Nb₃Sn followed by a significant increment when doping level reaches 1 wt% Ru. …”

The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

Evaluation of growth patterns and maternal traits of Brakmas and Bali cows by Abd Wahab, Mohd. Hafiz

“…It was also found that every model estimated negative correlation between the mature size and maturing rate, indicating that animals with slower growth will attain its mature size later than fast growing animals. Brakmas cattle showed higher maternal ability compared to Bali cattle in this study. …”
