ASSESSING BIOINSPIRED TOPOGRAPHIES FOR THEIR ANTIFOULING POTENTIAL CONTROL USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD)

Assessing Bioinspired Topographies for their Antifouling Potential Control Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Biofouling is the accumulation of unwanted material on surfaces submerged or semi submerged over an extended period.This study investigates the antifouling performance of a new bioinspired Fans topography design.A shark riblets inspired topography was designed with Solidworks and CFD simulations were antifouling performance.The study focuses on the

Cyborgs, Neuroweapons, and Network Command

In this article, we will explore the emerging field of military neurotechnology and the way it challenges the boundaries of war.We will argue that these technologies can be used not only to enhance the cognitive performance of warfighters, but also as a means to exploit artificial intelligence in autonomous and robotic weapons systems.This, however

Aerodynamic efficiency enhancement for asymmetric profiles

This paper presents a solution for enhancement of aerodynamic efficiency for asymmetric airfoils.In order to increase the lift and reduce the drag forces for a blade segment, a groove was created on its surface.There were carried out Can Liners experiments consisting in the analysis of two asymmetric airfoil segments of the same type in the wind tu

Acquisition and dissemination of cephalosporin-resistant E. coli in migratory birds sampled at an Alaska landfill as inferred through genomic analysis

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens threatens global health, though the spread of AMR bacteria and AMR genes between humans, animals, and the environment is still largely unknown.Here, we investigated the role of wild birds in the epidemiology of AMR Escherichia coli.Using next-generation sequencing, we characterized ceph
