Reading on a jet plane: Business Ethics & Other Paradoxes

Leaving on a plane jet

This is a continuation of our research on the Universal Planar Manipulator (UPM), a device capable of manipulating multiple generic objects (cans, chess pieces, poker chips, tools, etc.) with a single horizontally-vibrating, rigid plate (3 dofs). Objects are propelled by sliding frictional forces developed against the vibrating plate. A special plate vibration creates an average force field cal...

The rubric autoimmunity currently encompasses sixty to seventy diverse illnesses which affect many of the tissues of the human body.

Heat Transfer of an Impinging Jet on a Plane Surface

Abstract—A cold, thin film of liquid impinging on an isothermal hot, horizontal surface has been investigated. An approximate solution for the velocity and temperature distributions in the flow along the horizontal surface is developed, which exploits the hydrodynamic similarity solution for thin film flow. The approximate solution may provide a valuable basis for assessing flow and heat transf...
