Self-Spacing Algorithms for Continuous Descent Approaches

The thesis describes the algorithms design required to perform in-trail self-spacing during continuous descent approaches. Both distance-based and time-based spacing is treated. The CDA-procedure that is investigated is the Three-Degree Decelerating Approach (TDDA). The results of various off-line and simulator experiments as well as test flight...

Sustainable education at the Finnish universities of applied sciences: Sustainability focused Master Degree Program at Lahti University of Applied Sciences

The purpose of the paper is to introduce the sustainability focused Master Degree Program in International Business Management at the Faculty of Business Studies, Lahti University of Applied Sciences, Finland. As background information, there is a short overview to the sustainability and corporate social responsibility issues as a part of...

Should Mary smell like biscuit? Investigation scents in product design

In attempt to influence how a product is experienced, designers can manipulate all aspects of a product, including odor. The effect odor has on a consumer’s experience of the product is still not yet understood. Two experiments were conducted in order to shed more light on the influence odor has on consumers. In Experiment 1, differences in...

Transportation hub

Usually we believe that, the city crowd's basic activity and the static stable technology city construction are in separated, including those spatial stratification plane which is out of touching by artificial activities. The construction of city have merely provided an active frame, but the spatial content and the intention are moving the most...

Random graphs: From static to dynamic

Many empirical studies on real-life networks show that many networks are small worlds, meaning that typical distances in these networks are small, and many of them have power-law degree sequences, meaning that the number of nodes with degree k falls off as kˆ (-τ) for some exponent τ>1. These networks are modeled by means of scale-free random...

Fundamental Properties of Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Wireless mobile ad-hoc networks are formed by mobile devices that set up a possibly short-lived network for communication needs of the moment. Ad-hoc networks are decentralized, self-organizing networks capable of forming a communication network without relying on any fixed infrastructure. Each node in an ad-hoc network is equipped with a radio...

On the Necessary Degrees of Freedom for Helicopter and Wind Turbine Low-Frequency Mode Modeling

Dry and hydraulic extensile fracturing of porous impermeable materials

Extensile hydraulic fracturing of mortar is investigated and compared to extensile dry fracturing of sandstone. The extensile fracture experiments have been performed in a Hookean cell in deformation control. The cell allows for axial loading and radial fluid pressure loading of cylindrical specimens. Variables in the experiments are the load...

The response of aircraft to two-dimensional vertical turbulence

Equations for the response of an aircraft to two-dimensional vertical atmospheric turbulence have been derived, both for an aircraft regarded as a continuous system and for an aircraft split up into a number of panels. These equations have been applied to an aircraft model with two degrees of freedom of the size of the Fokker 100, respectively....

CONTINUUM MODELS FOR DISCONTINUOUS MEDIA

Degree and Principal Eigenvectors in Complex Networks

The largest eigenvalue ? 1 of the adjacency matrix powerfully characterizes dynamic processes on networks, such as virus spread and synchronization. The minimization of the spectral radius by removing a set of links (or nodes) has been shown to be an NP-complete problem. So far, the best heuristic strategy is to remove links/nodes based on the...
