Designing a Control System for an Airplane Wing Flutter Employing Gas Actuators by A. R. Ansari, A. R. B. Novinzadeh

“…Consequently, the interference of the thruster jet in the boundary layer, flow, and circulation around the airfoil which are characterized by low speed would be negligible. The operation of the jet as a thruster is handled by the PWPF modulator, and the process output is fed back to the system via a PD controller. …”

Study on the rheological properties of nano-SiO2 composite modified basalt mineral fiber asphalt mortar by Haiwei Gao, Nanxiang Zheng, Xiang Zhang, Zhihui Li, Zhuohong Cong

“…The high-temperature stability of fiber asphalt mastic improves with increasing fiber dosage, but the improvement becomes negligible beyond a 2.6% dosage. The interfacial bonding layer formed by asphalt on the fiber surface enhances the high-temperature performance and stress dissipation at low temperatures, thereby improving low-temperature cracking resistance.…”

A Method for Calculating the Area of Zostera marina Leaves from Digital Images with Noise Induced by Humidity Content by Cecilia Leal-Ramirez, Hector Echavarria-Heras

“…Nonetheless, since width to length ratios in eelgrass leaves could be even negligible, noise induced by leaf humidity content could produce misidentification of pixels along the peripheral contour of leaves images. …”

Remnants of the Dutch Infrastructure in Banda Aceh During the Independence Revolution by Muhjam Kamza, Farhan Fadillah, M Yusrizal

“…The basis of the hatred of the Acehnese towards the Dutch which grew under the spirit of jihad fisabilillah [war in the way of Allah] made the Veranda of Mecca was never negligent in opposing the Dutch company. Uniquely, the prolonged war that erupted in Aceh did not affect the Dutch heritage buildings in Banda Aceh as the epicenter of the resistance. …”
