Numerous experiments have been conducted on plunging Eppler 361 airfoil in a subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental tests involved measuring the surface pressure distribution over the airfoil at Re=1.5×105. The airfoil was equipped with Gurney flap(heights of 2.6, 3.3 and 5% chord) and plunged at 6cm amplitude. The unsteady aerodynamic loads were calculated from the surface pressure measurement...

Traffic congestion can be broadly classified as recurrent and non-recurrent based on its relation with daily variation of traffic demand. The former is mainly the result of traffic incidents such as accidents, vehicle breakdowns or any other incident that impedes the normal flow of traffic. Furthermore, traffic incidents could increase the severity of recurrent congestion in terms of the impact...

Automated task planning for robots is usually implemented on a motion primitive domain, where the focus is on constructing meaningful, general motion primitives. In this work we propose planning on the higher abstraction level of robot skills. In this context, skills are general, functional blocks that contain both sensing and action, have a welldefined expected outcome and set of preconditions...

INTRODUCTION Aneuploidy screening is widely practised in the field of obstetrics in current times. This study thus aims to gain an insight on pregnant women's knowledge and risk perception of Down syndrome and first trimester screening (FTS), as well as their views on various potential pregnancy outcomes and how these may affect their decision-making processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-s...
