In [5] it is shown how a model for the logic of constructible duality is a symmetric monoidal closed category with products, that is, a model of linear logic. Remarkably, Nelson’s strong negation∼ behaves as linear duality ⊥. We compare it with some previous results from [4] regarding stable models in a linear logic setting, and suggest some further lines to explore. 1. From Ncd to linear logic...

Insect wings are deformable structures that change shape passively and dynamically owing to inertial and aerodynamic forces during flight. It is still unclear how the three-dimensional and passive change of wing kinematics owing to inherent wing flexibility contributes to unsteady aerodynamics and energetics in insect flapping flight. Here, we perform a systematic fluid-structure interaction ba...

There is a 2.5-fold difference in male wing size between two haplodiploid insect species, Nasonia vitripennis and N. giraulti. The haploidy of males facilitated a full genomic screen for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting wing size and the detection of epistatic interactions. A QTL analysis of the interspecific wing-size difference revealed QTL with major effects and epistatic interactions...

this paper presented methods to determine the aerodynamic forces that acton an aircraft wing during flight. these methods are initially proposed for asimplified two degree-of-freedoms airfoil model and then are extensivelyapplied for a multi-degree-of-freedom airfoil system. different airspeedconditions are considered in establishing such methods. the accuracy of thepresented methods is verifie...

We use a sequence of blow-ups over the projective space parametrizing plane curves of degree d to obtain some enumerative results concerning smooth plane curves of arbitrary degree. For d = 4 , this gives a first modem verification of results of H. G. Zeuthen. O. INTRODUCTION The kth 'characteristic number' of the d(dt3) -dimensional family of smooth plane curves of degree d, denoted Nd(k) in t...

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to study the low-speed stall aerodynamics of a GIII aircraft’s swept wing modified with a laminar-flow wing glove. The stall aerodynamics of the gloved wing were analyzed and compared with the unmodified wing for the flight speed of 120 knots and altitude of 2300 ft above mean sea level (MSL). The S...

The evolution of wing pattern in Lepidoptera is a popular area of inquiry but few studies have examined microlepidoptera, with fewer still focusing on intraspecific variation. The tineid genus Moerarchis Durrant, 1914 includes two species with high intraspecific variation of wing pattern. A subset of the specimens examined here provide, to my knowledge, the first examples of wing patterns that ...

Locusta has strong fly wings to ensure its long distance migration, but the molecular mechanism that regulates the Locusta wing development is poorly understood. To address the developmental mechanism of the Locusta flying wing, we cloned the Dpp target gene spalt (sal) and analyzed its function in wing growth in the Locusta. The Locusta wing size is apparently reduced with vein defects when sa...
