Inverse methods are mathematical techniques by which the unknown input of a system is determined from a known or desired output. In this article, a new inverse method for the reverse design of deformable structures is ...

Inverse methods are powerful design tools that allow engineers to obtain efficient designs at much lower costs than the ones normally involved in experimental and direct computational design. Here we present an inverse ...

Organophosphorus pesticides such as chlorpyrifos are often used in agriculture due to their broad spectrum of action. However, this insecticide and acaricide is considered highly toxic to the environment and can cause ...

The wing rock phenomenon is characterized by an undesirable rotational oscillation in aircrafts, mainly in roll axis, which occurs at relatively low flight speeds and high angle of attack. Flight instabilities caused by ...

The mating sign that each drone leaves when mating with a queen essentially consists of mucus gland proteins. We employed a Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) methodology to identify genes that are differentially ...

Transmission of viruses by Varroa destructor(Anderson &Trueman, 2000) to bees has been identified as one of the main threats to Apis mellifera L. colonies. It has also been suggested that synergistic parasite-pathogen ...

A co-simulation strategy for modeling the unsteady dynamics of flying insects and small birds as well as biologically inspired flapping-wing micro-air-vehicles is developed in this work. In particular, the dynamic system ...
