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

“…As a result, when considering the aft-aerofoil’s mean lifting performance through one full oscillation, it was found to have performed worse than the fore-aerofoil. The thrust performance for the aft-aerofoil was found to largely depend on the specific vortex dynamics of each motion case, and no obvious trend was observed as frequency and amplitude was varied. …”

Cohort differences in physical health and disability in the United States and Europe by Gimeno, L, Goisis, A, Dowd, JB, Ploubidis, GB

“…While more chronic disease in younger cohorts need not necessarily translate to worse quality of life or higher rates of functional limitation, there is some suggestion that worsening chronic disease morbidity may be spilling over into worsening disability.…”

External validation of the QCovid 2 and 3 risk prediction algorithms for risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation and mortality in adults: a national cohort study in Scotland by Kerr, S, Millington, T, Rudan, I, McCowan, C, Tibble, H, Jeffrey, K, Fagbamigbe, AF, Simpson, CR, Robertson, C, Hippisley-Cox, J, Sheikh, A

Robust fuzzy model predictive control of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno systems with nonlinear local models by Teng, Long, Wang, Youyi, Cai, Wenjian, Li, Hua

“…For model predictive control of T-S fuzzy systems, the online computational burden is even worse. Especially for complex systems with severe nonlinearities, parametric uncertainties, and disturbances, existing model predictive control of T-S fuzzy systems usually leads to a very conservative solution or even no solution in some occasions. …”
