This paper focuses on the influence of different forms of motion feedback on the perception and control behavior of pilots in a roll-lateral helicopter hover task. To identify this influence, a combined target-following and disturbance-rejection task is carried out where the motion feedback is varied. The participants perform the control task with roll motion only, lateral motion only, combined...

We analyze the weak (2σ) evidence for a running spectral index seen in the three-year WMAP dataset and its implications for single field, slow roll inflation. We assume that the running is comparable to the central value found from the WMAP data analysis, and use the Hubble Slow Roll formalism to follow the evolution of the slow roll parameters. For all parameter choices consistent with a large...

background: preeclampsia is the most prevalent complication of pregnancy and one ihird cause of death in pregnant women. developing of a screening test may help to early diagnosis. this study performed to compare diagnostic value of the roll over test and hematocrit level in early detection of preeclampsia.        methods: 660 pregnant women with gestational age of 24-28 weeks referred totamin ...

We used videography to investigate direct lateral maneuvers, i.e. ‘sideslips’, of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. M. sexta sideslip by rolling their entire body and wings to reorient their net force vector. During sideslip they increase net aerodynamic force by flapping with greater amplitude, (in both wing elevation and sweep), allowing them to continue to support body weight while rolled. To exec...

Stochastic Structural Stability Theory (SSST) provides an autonomous, deterministic, nonlinear dynamical system for evolving a turbulent mean state. In this work SSST is applied to the problem of understanding the origin and dynamics of roll/streak structures associated with both transition to turbulence and maintenance of the turbulent state. Roll structures in the cross-stream/spanwise plane ...

AIM This prospective randomized clinical study was conducted to compare radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) with wire-guided localization to evaluate optimum localization techniques for non-palpable breast lesions. METHODS A total of 108 patients who were undergoing an excisional biopsy for non-palpable breast lesions requiring pathologic diagnosis were randomly assigned to the ROLL...

Motivated by the roll-switching behavior observed in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection, we define a Küppers-Lortz (K-L) state as a volume-preserving flow with periodic roll switching. For an individual roll state, the Lagrangian particle trajectories are periodic. In a system with roll-switching, the particles can exhibit three-dimensional, chaotic motion. We study a simple phenomenological m...

LE leading edge Transonic free-to-roll and static wind tunnel tests for four military aircraft – the AV-8B, the F/A-18C, the pre-production F/A-18E, and the F-16C – have been analyzed. These tests were conducted in the NASA Langley 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel as a part of the NASA/Navy/Air Force Abrupt Wing Stall Program. The objectives were to evaluate the utility of the freeto-roll test techniqu...
