Investigation of the effects of wing membrane slackness on thrust generation by Chua, Jasper Dong Qiu

“…The theory for flapping wing aerodynamics is that, by increasing the angle of attack of the wing, the wing is able to achieve an increasing lift coefficient and in turn a larger lift force until a maximum is reached. …”

“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…This paper presented a click mechanism, which is inspired by a Dipteran insect, for use in flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle. The clicking mechanism is integrated in a thorax-like compliant mechanism, which buckles and consequently produces a large wing stroke when driven by an electric motor. …”

Building fame through tea: the Wu Family and the Manufacture of zisha teapots during the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X, Hein, A

“…By examining the Wu family’s connection with the origin of zisha teapots, this study investigates how Ming literati used material culture to shape family reputation. …”

Butterfly-like micro air vehicle by Yang, Xiaobin

“…In this report, the author would discuss the detailed design specification and fabrication process of the butterfly-like MAV. Dynamic tests were conducted on a force cell and with a high-speed camera to record the motion of flapping wing, four sets of thrust and power in different frequency would be obtained, compared, and concluded. …”

Regulation and function of innate-like T cells by Hagel, JP

“…It is expressed by NK- and T-cell subsets, particularly by innate-like T cells such as MAIT and γδT cells. CD161-expressing T-cell subsets share a transcriptional and functional phenotype, including the ability to be activated by cytokines in a T-cell receptor-independent manner, similar to NK cells. …”

Performance and flight dynamics characteristics of a variable sweep wing aircraft by Chong, Zi Wei.
