Pitching Equilibrium, Wing Span and Tail Span in a Gliding Harris' Hawk, Parabuteo Unicinctus
1. The centre of area of the wings of a Harris' hawk gliding freely in a wind tunnel moved forward 0.09 wing chord lengths when the hawk increased its wing span from 0.68 to 1.07 m. The movement of the centre of area probably produces a positive pitching moment that, if unopposed, would cause the bird's head to rise. The tail remained folded until wing span reached 87 % of maximum and then bega...
متن کاملGliding Birds: the Effect of Variable Wing Span
1. The equilibrium gliding performance of a bird is described by the relationship between sinking speed (VB) and air speed (V). When V3 is plotted against V, the points fall in a 'performance area' because the wing span is changed during gliding. 2. The lowest V, for each V in the performance area defines a 'maximum performance curve'. This curve can be predicted by a mathematical model that ch...
متن کاملFast Lines: A Span by Span Method
Straight line’s scan conversion and drawing is a major field in computer graphics. Algorithm’s time computation is very important. Nowadays, most of research papers suggest improvements of the DDA method that was first presented by J. Bresenham. But other approaches exist as well like combinatory analysis and linguistic methods. Both of them use multiple string copies that slow down the efficie...
متن کاملWing shape, wing size, and sexual dimorphism in eye-span in stalk-eyed flies (Diopsidae)
The eyes of stalk-eyed flies (Diopsidae) are positioned at the end of rigid peduncles (‘stalks’) protruding laterally from the head. Eye-stalk length varies within the family and, in some species, varies between males and females. Larger eye-stalks in males result from sexual selection for longer stalks, a trait that increases male reproductive success. In the present study, we examined whether...
متن کاملHarris’s hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus) hematological parameters in different tropical locations
This work described and compared the hematological findings of 25 clinically healthy Harris’s hawks(Parabuteo unicinctus) in captivity at two different tropical locations: 16 samples from Aguascalientes, which altitude is 1878 mean sea level, and nine samples from Amecameca which altitude is 2650 mean sea level. Blood samples were collected from the brachial vein of each raptor under p...
