Attitude and position control of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles
(2018)
Compared with the fixed-wing and rotor aircraft, the
flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle
is of great interest to many communities because of its high efficiency and
flexible maneuverability.
However, issues such as ...
Knowledge and experience of in-service, secondary and post-secondary teachers on mild traumatic brain injuries: return to learning in the classroom
(2018-02-28)
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) are becoming more prevalent in adolescents. As these
injuries can occur during the school year, returning to school and learning can prove to be
difficult for some individuals. As ...
Optimum switch sizing for class DE amplifier
(2018)
Recently, integrated class DE ampli fiers without matching networks have been proposed as
a compact solution to drive a multi-element piezoelectric ultrasound transducer array for high-intensity
focused ultrasound (HIFU) ...
Performance and emissions of diesel engines fueled by expanded polystyrene-infused biodiesel with additives
(2018)
Environmental issues and conventional fossil resource depletion has directed the attention of researchers to seek clean or alternative fuels. Biodiesel was introduced as an answer to day-to-day increases in diesel consumption ...

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on nanostructured catalysts
(2018)
There is great interest in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to useful chemicals and fuels toward addressing the increasingly serious impacts of global climate change. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 has garnered ...
The effect of vertical internals on the hydrodynamics and phase dispersions in bubble columns: CFD simulation and population balance model
(2018)
Vertical internals are widely installed in the bubble columns as heat exchangers or illuminating tubes. This research aims to investigate the effect of dense vertical internals (rods) on the performance of bubble columns. ...
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)
Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper
operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from
ambient vibrations to power electronical ...
Digital Visions: Developing 21st century skills and competencies with the Digital Media Academy
