BACKGROUND We describe two cases of recurrent acute angle-closure attack in patients with plateau iris syndrome after cataract extraction. Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty and cataract extraction have been used to reduce the occurrence of acute angle-closure attack in plateau iris syndrome although the risk cannot be completely eliminated. There is no consensus on the long term management of ...

This paper deals with the problem of angle-of-attack modulation with the aim of enhancing transient performance of entry guidance during bank reversals, while compensating adverse effects of fast time-varying transient disturbances. An extended single-input/single-output system is developed in the velocity domain by means of a dynamic extension technique, and explicitly captures the trajectory ...

In the present paper effect of angle of attack on stability derivatives in pitch of delta wing for the attached shock case is been studied. A strip theory is used in which strips at different span-wise locations are independent. This combines with the similitude to give a piston theory. In the present theory, the similitude, and the piston theory have been extended to a flat wing with straight ...

Direct numerical simulation of the wake flow around and behind a planar ellipse using a random vortex method is presented. Fluid is considered incompressible and the aspect ratios of ellipse and the angles of attacks are varied. This geometry can be a logical prelude to the more complex geometries, but less time dependent experimental measurements are available to validate the numerical results...

Natural flight has consistently been the wellspring of many creative minds, yet recreating propulsive systems natural flyers is quite hard and challenging. Regarding design, biomimetics offers a wide variety solutions that can be applied at low Reynolds numbers, achieving high performance maneuverability systems. The main goal current work to computationally investigate thrust-power intricacies...

In this study, the stability of conservative spring-mass running using a fixed angle of attack is addressed. For a given initial condition, different angles of attack result in periodic movement patterns. We apply a simple stride-to-stride analysis to prove the stability. Spring-like leg operation together with angle of attack control enables selfstabilised running.
