Abstract: In this work, analysis and design of a lateral directional flight control system for a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft is considered. The BWB configuration chosen for this purpose is the European MOB (Multidisciplinary Optimization Blended Wing Body) planform. The MOB configuration does not have vertical control surfaces for directional stability, instead small winglets with rudders ...

The main olfactory bulb (MOB) receives a rich noradrenergic innervation from the pontine nucleus locus coeruleus (LC). Previous studies indicate that norepinephrine (NE) modulates the strength of GABAergic inhibition in MOB. However, the nature of this modulation and the NE receptors involved remain controversial. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of NE receptor subtypes in mod...

Data of optical performance, thermal stability and ageing are given for solar selective coatings (SSC) based on a novel MoSi2-Si3N4 absorbing composite. SSC have been prepared as multilayer stacks formed by silver as metallic infrared reflector, a double layer composite and an antireflective layer (doi: 10.1016/j.solmat.2016.04.001 [1]). Spectroscopic reflectance data corresponding to the optic...

We present a model of conflict in which discriminatory government policy or social intolerance is responsive to various forms of ethnic activism, including violence. It is this perceived responsiveness—captured by the probability that the government gives in and accepts a proposed change in ethnic policy—that induces individuals to mobilize, often violently, to support their cause. Yet, mobiliz...

(2011), doi: The online communicative environment is expected to revolutionize political discourse as it expands to cover underrepresented groups and ideas. In this platform, marginalized groups such as indigenous communities from the developing world can articulate claims, strategically mobilize and participa...

I analyse free-entry competition between stores and mail order businesses. Consumers purchasing at stores entail distance related transportation costs. Purchase from a mail order business (MOB) involves a fixed cost. Compared to Salop’s model [Salop, S.C., 1979. Monopolistic competition with outside goods. Bell Journal of Economics 10, 141–156], fewer firms are active with free-entry. At most o...
