The position and attitude controls of flapping wing flyers are challenging because of their inherent instabilities.Insects can cope with such difficulties by here finely and quickly tuning their wing kinematics.In addition, it is known that insects change their posture through the joint between thorax and abdomen in response to visual stimuli.In th
The Sun emits energetic particles following eruptive events such as solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) arrive in bursts known as Solar Particle Events (SPEs), which penetrate into the Earth’s magnetosphere.SEPs with large enough energy induce a complicated atmospheric cascade, which secondary osborne h
A third of all known freshwater mollusk extinctions worldwide have occurred within a single medium-sized acupatch American drainage.The Mobile River Basin (MRB) of Alabama, a global hotspot of temperate freshwater biodiversity, was intensively industrialized during the 20(th) century, driving 47 of its 139 endemic mollusk species to extinction.Thes
In the contemporary literature on sustainability, one can notice an increasingly frequent use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods instead of classic sustainability indices.The MCDA method should be tailored to the specific sustainability problem and decision situation so that its results are credible and satisfactory for the decision
