The Advancing Roles of Internet of Things (Iot) in Europe's Tourism Industry: Public Relations Strategies Post Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Muhammed Erbay
Published: July 2023

As a novel study topic across many academic and industrial fields, including tourism, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained considerable footing recently. Modern tourist systems are being reshaped by the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, which considers technological, economic, and social factors. It's changing the way visitors use and manage their interests from conventional to more tailored platforms. The coronavirus 2, which is causing the current worldwide pandemic, is the worst global public health catastrophe since the influenza pandemic of 1918. This witnessed one of the major troubles in the tourism industry, which made it difficult to operate effectively, as restrictions that were put in place to contain the spread of the virus. The role of Public relations (PR) post Covid-19 pandemic has risen and giving the industry more responsibility in ensuring that her brands and clients stay seen and relevant as the stigma surrounding the virus has made people afraid and unwilling to go back to other fun of life like touring and sightseeing. Hence, most industries continue to utilize various ways that could keep them connected to the customers and technology became one of the vital organs of these developments. The Internet of things continues to advance in terms of its implementations across the tourism industry’s PR. This paper will talk about the advancing roles of the IoT in Europe's tourism industry PR. European nations remain the largest when it comes to technological adoptions. As a result, the paper is likely to furnish changes meant to assist the tourist's bookings, customer engagement, search engine optimization (SEO), amongst many others.

Published: July 2023

Snake venom contains various bioactive proteins and peptides, of which enzymes make up a significant portion. Desert Black Cobra (Walterinnesia morgani) is a venomous snake distributed mainly in the Middle East including southeastern Türkiye. The aim of the present study is to investigate the key enzyme activities and protein profile of W. morgani venom originating from Sanliurfa province. After the determination of the protein content, the venom sample was subjected to enzymatic activity assays to assess phospholipase A2, protease, ʟ-amino acid oxidase, hyaluronidase, 5′-nucleotidase and, phosphodiesterase activities by a spectrophotometry-based method. Protease activity was also assessed by gelatin zymography. Additionally, the fibrinogenolytic activity of the venom was evaluated using fibrinogen zymography and SDS-PAGE methods. The protein profile was obtained by SDS-PAGE (both reduced and non-reduced) and reversed-phase HPLC methods. According to the results, 11 protein bands between approximately 12-240 kDa were observed on non-reduced SDS-PAGE gel while there were nine bands between 12-140 kDa on the reduced gel. Venom proteins of W. morgani were found predominantly between 25-12 kDa. Proteins were separated into at least 19 major and minor protein groups (peaks) by HPLC analysis. The venom of W. morgani showed all enzyme activities at varying levels.

This study looks into religious programming in digital broadcasting facilities following the analog switch-off (ASO). Local television in West Java, specifically SMTV and MQTV, which have transitioned from analog to digital, is the subject of this study. The goal of this study is to examine how religious programming has changed on both televisions after they went digital. With a case study methodology, this research is qualitative. Three methods of data collection are used: direct interviews with television executives, observation, and monitoring the broadcast's content. According to the study's findings, switching to digital actually has a number of advantages, including improved picture and sound quality, more viewers, longer broadcast hours, and more effective funding. Both SMTV and MQTV acknowledge that there has been a rise in religious programming. Religious programming fills the extra time according to the leadership's policy of broadcasting 24 hours a day. Islamic and Christian religious lectures have been added to SMTV as a regular daily, weekly, and monthly program. The different Sundanese cultural arts shows on SMTV always feature religious material. MQTV also incorporates religious programming to enhance its reputation as a heartwarming Islamic television station. Religious programming comes in a wide range of formats, including monologue lectures, chat shows, consultations, and reality shows. The varied packaging are designed to prevent religious content from coming out as repetitive and dull.Keywords: broadcast; religious; digital; Analog Switch-off

Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Lee Yongkyu , Kim Seung-Chul , Lee Taewon , Choi Sungyong
Published: July 2023

Many companies are focusing on enhancing competitiveness and contributing to business performance by R&D as a strategic tool. Successful R&D performance leads to industrial development and corporate competitiveness enhancement, but there are high risks in R&D investment due to the influence of external environment, technology, and organizational factors. R&D projects are carried out to achieve various purposes, and after all, systematic and strategic execution is important.
It was verified how the risk management and benefit management of the R&D project affect the detailed performance of the R&D project. The additional impact of ESG management, which has become a hot topic in corporate management, on project performance in the R&D field was also analyzed.
In this study, those who have participated in R&D projects at companies, research institutes, universities were surveyed and analyzed. First, it was found that R&D project risk management has partially an effect on project management performance and goal achievement, but has no effect on future-oriented performance. Second, benefit sustainability management had an impact on the future-oriented performance of the project. Third, E(environment) among ESG in the R&D field showed a moderating effect between risk management, benefit management and project performance.
It was confirmed that it is possible to achieve results by utilizing various subdivided project management factors to derive long-term performance of R&D projects. Among ESG management activities as sustainable management, management activities that can be applied to the R&D field were demonstrated in practice.
Analyzing the Influence of Monetary Policy Announcements on Foreign Exchange Futures Markets
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Yun Jaesun
Published: July 2023

This study analyses the impact of monetary policy announcements by the Bank of Korea and the U.S. central bank on the prices, volumes, and open interest of four foreign exchange futures listed and traded on the Korea Exchange: dollar futures, yen futures, euro futures, and yuan futures. The study examines whether the prices, volumes, and open interest of the foreign exchange futures differ from other periods in even-numbered weeks (weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6) beginning on the day before, day of, and week of the monetary policy announcements by the Financial Services Commission and the Federal Open Market Committee and the regular meeting dates of the Federal Reserve from 2005 to 2019.
The main findings of this study are as follows First, I find that returns on foreign exchange futures slow down around the time of monetary policy announcements. This reflects the tendency of investors to hold off on trading before the information following the monetary policy announcement is released. Second, I observe an increase in foreign exchange futures trading volume on monetary policy announcement days. This could be interpreted as investors resuming trading once the information is released after the monetary policy announcement. Third, I observe a decrease in open interest in foreign exchange futures around monetary policy announcements. This suggests that when there is uncertainty about the monetary policy announcement, investors reduce their exposure to manage their risk on foreign exchange futures. Finally, I compare the effects before and after the financial crisis and do not find any significant differences.
I find that investors reduce their directional investments in foreign exchange futures during monetary policy announcements and resume trading after the uncertainty is resolved through the policy announcement, thus confirming the significant impact of monetary policy announcements in the Korean foreign exchange futures market. This study has both theoretical and practical implications as it supports that monetary policy announcements play a significant role in increasing and resolving uncertainty in the foreign exchange market.

La carga, oferta de frutos cosechables y la tecnología de lonas, fueron las variables que explicaron los efectos económicos del cambio técnico. Con las mejoras en la planificación de retención de pases, adecuación de lotes para empleo de lonas y la capacitación de los operarios que incrementase a un 75% el café cosechado al año con lonas y un aumento de la productividad de la mano de obra del 45%, se lograría un excedente del 10% para el caficultor por hectárea al año, lo cual es factible en el corto y mediano plazo, según las condiciones propias de cada región.
The Mechanism of Thunderstorms and its Environmental Effects (A Review)
Authors: Robert  , James J  , Igbo  , Nkechinyere E
Published: July 2023

This study is a review of the mechanism of thunderstorm and its environmental effects. Thunderstorm is a natural phenomenon. Its occurrence in the Earth’s atmosphere has been from time immemorial. Thunderstorm has been described as a natural battery as it constitutes both negative and positive parts. This natural phenomenon displays a beautiful signature (lightning) and rumbling noise (thunder) in the sky. Thunder is caused by lightning. The heat energy associated with lightning heats up the surrounding air molecules very fast and causes these air molecules to expand rapidly, and also contract rapidly as it cools off; this rapid expansion and contraction produce sound waves(thunder). The occurrence of thunderstorm is always associated with a great deal of damage to humans, infrastructures, and plants. This damage ranges from loss of lives, collapse of crops and economic trees, infrastructures, especially power grid lines which often threw the affected areas into total darkness. Turbulent weather conditions arising from thunderstorm has a huge negative impact on the aviation industries around the globe, as cases of cancellation of flights are abound and occasional plane crashes. A recent research study has attributed the increasing trend of occurrence of thunderstorm over the continent of Africa to increasing surface temperature; meaning that the continent of Africa will most likely experience more of the devastating effects of thunderstorms. To drastically minimize these negative of effects of thunderstorms, accurate prediction of thunderstorms and early warning, keeping to thunder and lightning safety measures, and mitigation of drivers of climate change must be considered

A Model Estimator for Noisy Compact Emission Recovery in Radio Synthesis Imaging
Authors: Zhang L. , Zhang M. , Wang B.
Published: July 2023

Reconstruction of a noisy compact emission must consider not only the point-spread function but also the effect of noise. However, the traditional threshold method in widely-used CLEAN-based algorithms finds it difficult to effectively prevent noise in the model image during noisy compact-emission reconstruction. This significantly limits the performance in noisy compact-emission reconstruction, such as deep field imaging. There are two major difficulties in the accurate reconstruction of a Stokes-I image of compact emission: first, the threshold method that has been used in practice is difficult to use to separate compact emission and noise; and second, over-subtraction makes it difficult for the reconstructed Stokes-I model image to remain positive. Therefore, a filter-based denoizing mechanism is introduced in the search phase of the model components to separate signal and noise so that the signal can be effectively extracted. The relatively larger loop gain for positive components means that the reconstructed model is in line with astrophysics. This will reduce the errors between the true sky image and the model image. The new model estimator is tested on a simulated JVLA observation with realistic source distributions from the VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey project and the SKADS/SCubed simulation. The experiments show that it is very effective when used to separate signal and noise to lower the noise in the model image. This work explores the use of existing common software CASA to achieve high dynamic range imaging, which is an important step toward square kilometer array data processing.

A possible polar-ring debris disk, the dynamics of which can be described by the outer hierarchical restricted three-body problem, has been detected in 99 Herculis.

The polar planetary disk has the lowest statistical accretion efficiency and a moderate impact frequency of collisions among planetesimals (with radii of 1–10 km) compared to those in a circumbinary coplanar disk and a standard disk around the single host star. The collision timescale in the circumbinary disk (both polar and coplanar configurations) is longer than 107 yr, exceeding the dissipation timescale of the gas disk. Stochastic simulations show that successive collisions cannot make planetesimals grow, which may explain the formation of the debris disk observed in 99 Herculis.

High-sensitivity Observations of the H2O Megamasers of NGC 1068: Precise Astrometry and Detailed Kinematics
Authors: Gallimore Jack F. , Impellizzeri C. M. Violette
Published: July 2023

We present High Sensitivity Array observations of the H2O megamasers of NGC 1068. We obtain absolute astrometry with 0.3 mas precision that confirms the association of the disk masers with the nuclear radio continuum source S1. The new observations reveal two new blueshifted groups of disk masers. We also detect the 22 GHz continuum on short interferometric baselines. The position–velocity diagram of the disk masers shows a curve consistent with a nonaxisymmetric distribution of maser spots. This curve is probably the result of spiral arms with a constant pitch angle ∼5°. The disk kinematics are consistent with Keplerian rotation and low turbulent speeds. The inferred central mass is 17 × 106
M
☉. On the basis of disk stability arguments, the mass of the molecular disk is ≈110 × 103
M
☉. The disk masers further resolve into filamentary structures suggesting an ordered magnetic field threading the maser disk. The magnetic field strengths must be ≳2 mG to withstand turbulent motions in the partially ionized molecular gas. We note apparent asymmetries in the molecular disk that might be explained by anisotropic heating by a misaligned inner accretion disk. The new observations also detect the fainter jet masers north of the disk masers. The distribution and kinematics of the jet masers are consistent with an expanding ring of molecular gas.

Cyanides, ranging from three carbon atoms to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and alkenyl compounds are abundant in the interstellar medium. Aminoacrylonitrile (3-Amino-2-propenenitrile, H2N–CH=CH–C≡N), an alkenyl cyanide, thus represents a promising candidate for new interstellar detection. A comprehensive spectroscopic laboratory investigation of aminoacrylonitrile in its rotational ground vibrational state has been herein performed. The measurements carried out up to the THz regime made it possible to generate a precise set of reliable rest frequencies for its search in space up to submillimeter wavelengths. The Z-aminoacrylonitrile (Z-apn) isomer spectrum has been recorded employing a source-modulated submillimeter spectrometer, from 80 GHz to 1 THz. A combination of Doppler and sub-Doppler measurement regimes allowed one to record 600 new lines. The collected data have enabled the characterization of a set of spectroscopic parameters up to decic centrifugal distortion constants. The catalog generated from the improved spectral data has been used for the search of Z-apn in the spectral survey of the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud located in the central molecular zone, in the proximity of the Galactic center.

Background/Aims: The Genoss DES™ is a novel, biodegradable, polymer-coated, sirolimus-eluting stent with a cobalt- chromium stent platform and thin strut. Although the safety and effectiveness of this stent have been previously investigated, real-world clinical outcomes data are lacking. Therefore, the aim of this prospective, multicenter trial was to evaluate the clinical safety and effectiveness of the Genoss DES™ in all-comer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods: The Genoss DES registry is a prospective, single-arm, observational trial for evaluation of clinical outcomes after Genoss DES™ implantation in all-comer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention from 17 sites in South Korea. The primary endpoint was a device-oriented composite outcome of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months.Results: A total of 1,999 patients (66.4 ± 11.1 years of age; 72.8% male) were analyzed. At baseline, 62.8% and 36.7% of patients had hypertension and diabetes, respectively. The implanted stent number, diameter, and length per patient were 1.5 ± 0.8, 3.1 ± 0.5 mm, and 37.0 ± 25.0 mm, respectively. The primary endpoint occurred in 1.8% patients, with a cardiac death rate of 1.1%, target vessel-related MI rate of 0.2%, and clinically driven TLR rate of 0.8%.Conclusions: In this real-world registry, the Genoss DES™ demonstrated excellent safety and effectiveness at 12 months among all-comer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. These findings suggest that the Genoss DES™ may be a viable treatment option for patients with coronary artery disease.

On the series solution of the stochastic Newell Whitehead Segel equation
Authors: Hussain Javed
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this paper is to present a two-step approach for finding the series solution of the stochastic Newell-Whitehead-Segel (NWS) equation. The proposed two-step approach starts with the use of the Wiener-Hermite expansion (WHE) technique, which allows the conversion of the stochastic problem into a set of coupled deterministic partial differential equations (PDEs) by components. The deterministic kernels of the WHE serve as the solution to the stochastic NWS equation by decomposing the stochastic process. The second step involves solving these PDEs using the reduced differential transform (RDT) algorithm, which enables the determination of the deterministic kernels. The final step involves plugging these kernels back into the WHE to derive the series solution of the stochastic NWS equation. The expectation and variance of the solution are calculated and graphically displayed to provide a clear visual representation of the results. We believe that this two-step technique for computing the series solution process can be used to a great extent for stochastic PDEs arising in a variety of sciences.
A long short-temory relation network for real-time prediction of patient-specific ventilator parameters
Authors: Qiu Xihe , Tan Xiaoyu , Wang Chenghao , Chen Shaotao , Du Bin , Huang Jingjing
Published: July 2023

Accurate prediction of patient-specific ventilator parameters is crucial for optimizing patient-ventilator interaction. Current approaches encounter difficulties in concurrently observing long-term, time-series dependencies and capturing complex, significant features that influence the ventilator treatment process, thereby hindering the achievement of accurate prediction of ventilator parameters. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach called the long short-term memory relation network (LSTMRnet). Our approach uses a long, short-term memory bank to store rich information and an important feature selection step to extract relevant features related to respiratory parameters. This information is obtained from the prior knowledge of the follow up model. We also concatenate the embeddings of both information types to maintain the joint learning of spatio-temporal features. Our LSTMRnet effectively preserves both time-series and complex spatial-critical feature information, enabling an accurate prediction of ventilator parameters. We extensively validate our approach using the publicly available medical information mart for intensive care (MIMIC-III) dataset and achieve superior results, which can be potentially utilized for ventilator treatment (i.e., sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ventilator treatment and intensive care units ventilator treatment.

Unveiling the Acronyms: A Flipped Classroom Activity for Building Theoretical Knowledge
Authors: Ferrando-Rocher Miguel
Published: July 2023

The use of acronyms in many disciplines, particularly in today’s digital world, is large, and the knowledge behind each acronym is sometimes taken for granted. For example, common acronyms such as GPS, LCD, LED, SIM, Wi-Fi, PDF, HDMI, MPEG, IP, or HTML are used without considering what is behind each letter. The reality is that they are all acronyms. This work proposes an inverted classroom activity in the course Architecture and Telematic Networks of the Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunication Engineering at the Escuela Politécnica Superior de Gandia of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. In this activity, once a week, the students, in groups of two or three people, must expose to the rest of their classmates through an elevator pitch the hidden meaning behind each acronym used in the contents of the subject. The acronyms in this course are more cryptic (ARP, ICMP, DHCP, NAT...), and in the end, their thoughtless use can be more of a problem than a help to understand the topic. So, this activity addresses two problems. First, they strive to understand what lies behind each acronym collectively, and second, they acquire the knowledge they will need for their professional careers in the future. In short, this classroom experience has demonstrated that providing a vital glossary of the course helps the students to delve into purely theoretical concepts differently and engagingly.

The research investigates the degree of receptivity level of faculty members in Jordanian universities using digital learning tools from a UTAUT perspective. To achieve the research objectives, the descriptive-analytical approach is used. The research sample consists of (387) faculty members selected by the purposeful random method. An electronic questionnaire is developed as a research instrument, and its validity and reliability are checked. The results show that the unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology’s conceptions and the use of digital learning are both highly significant. (UTAUT). The findings also show a strong positive and medium correlation among the constructs: performance expectations, effort expectations, and social influences and receptivity level. Besides, the results demonstrate a positive and weak correlation between the facilitating conditions construct and the degree of receptivity. The research recommends working on creating conditions that enhance the use of artificial intelligence in Jordanian public and private universities.

The timely diagnosis of brain tumors is currently a complicated task. The objective was to build an image classification model to detect the existence or not of brain tumors by adding a classification header to a ResNet-50 architecture. The CRISP-DM methodology was used for data mining. A dataset of 3847 brain MRI images was used, 2770 images for training, 500 for validation, and 577 for testing. The images were resized to a 256 × 256 scale and then a data generator is created that is responsible for dividing pixels by 255. The training was performed and then the evaluation process was carried out, obtaining an accuracy percentage of 92% and a precision of 94% in the evaluation process. It is concluded that the proposed CNN model composed of a head with a ResNet50 architecture and a seven-layer convolutional network achieves adequate accuracy, becoming an efficient and complementary proposal to other models developed in previous works.

Hemodialysis is a procedure for cleaning the blood from the waste products of the body’s metabolism. this is one of modality to treat end stage kidney disease. There are two main classifications of this disease, namely acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure. Kidney failure occurs when kidney damage is severe enough or lasts a long time so that the disease is generally the final stage of kidney disease. Dialysis is performed on patients with kidney failure, both acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure. This study is aimed to predict the mortality risk of hemodialysis patients. The Taiwanese hemodialysis center enrolled a total of 665 hemodialysis patients. The prediction is based on Logistic Regression. Compared with K-Nearest Neighbor, linear discriminant, Tree, and ensemble, Logistic Regression performed better. As for related medical variables like parathyroid surgery, urea reduction ratio, etc., they play a much smaller role in mortality risk factors than diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
„Fiber der Gegenwart“. Walter Benjamins Frankreich
Authors: Cumming Sofia
Published: July 2023

Cet article étudie le rapport de Walter Benjamin à la langue, à la littérature et à la culture françaises, en se demandant dans quelle mesure ce rapport a marqué sa carrière de critique et de traducteur. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence ce que Benjamin qualifie de « fil du présent », une notion qu’il inscrit au cœur du paysage littéraire et intellectuel français, et de montrer comment cette idée a contribué à définir son rôle de médiateur entre l’Allemagne et la France dans les années 1920 et 1930. Cet intérêt de Benjamin pour les évolutions contemporaines de l’intelligentsia française lui a permis de développer une critique de l’écrivain européen « engagé » de l’entre-deux-guerres.
An Exploration of the Definition of Data Literacy in the Academic and Public Domains
Authors: Ghodoosi Bahareh , Torrisi-Steele Geraldine , West Tracey , Li Qinyi
Published: July 2023

There is no single agreed-upon definition of data literacy because expectations of what it means to be data literate varies across contexts. The lack of agreement on a definition of data literacy across contexts is therefore necessary. However, definitions are important. Definitions embody our understanding of concepts and are the foundation for operationalization of concepts. The work reported in the chapter is motivated by the observation that despite no shortage of university graduates, organizations are struggling to find data-literate talent. There is an apparent disconnect between data literacy as taught in the academic domain and data literacy as expected by businesses in the public domain. An exploration of definitions of data literacy in academic and public domains is undertaken to gain insight in why the disconnect exists. A thematic analysis and comparison of definitions in the two domains were conducted. The differences identified provide some broad directions for developing data literacy capabilities in students that better fulfil the needs of business organizations.

With the closure of educational institutions during COVID-19, some leadership and management teams resorted to technology for online teaching. However, for the teaching practicum (TP) module, the move to online required specially designed interventions, resulting in a variety of different TP COVID-19 configurations. Fortuitously, at the outbreak of COVID-19, a group of academics at a South African Open Distance and E-Learning (ODeL) Institution were on the verge of launching a pilot-study with a TP mobile app solution. To better develop a mobile app, this article reviews recent literature on the integration of online technologies in the contemplation of TP COVID-19 interventions and ask the research question: What were TP supervisors' responses to the feasibility of a TP app? The literature showed an absence of a comprehensive mobile app, while supervisors displayed enthusiasm towards the proposal, but caution against the uncertainties of technological capacity and internet accessibility. Recommendations for the mobile app proposal are suggested.
Ingredient or Function?

More and more brands are utilizing online word-of-mouth recommendations to promote their products and using product ingredients more widely in marketing communications. However, no research has explored how recommendation terms (ingredient vs. function) for functional products affects consumers' attitudes. Through one pilot study and four experiments, it was found that consumers hold the lay belief that “ingredient = professional.” For functional products, consumers' purchase intentions and product evaluations are higher when ingredient (vs. function) are labelled, with perceived trustworthiness playing a mediating role. In addition, the domain knowledge of the information sender moderates the focal effect. Theoretically, this research contributes to the literature on both lay beliefs and word-of-mouth marketing by proposing a new lay belief, and by exploring the effect of recommendation terms on consumers' attitudes. Practically, this research can guide marketers in the appropriate use of product ingredient for word-of-mouth marketing.
Post-Failure Control Reconfiguration on a High-Speed Lift-Offset Coaxial Helicopter

Published: July 2023

An elastic blade trim model of a coaxial-pusher helicopter with aerodynamic interference between the rotors is described and validated against existing experimental data for coaxial rotor systems and helicopters. With the trim model in place, parametric sweeps of trim controls are performed to examine different allowable control settings in terms of the swashplate actuator positions on a generalized swashplate geometry at 3 different flight speeds representing a low speed, moderate speed, and high speed flight condition. The effective allowable ranges of locked-in-place positions are established for the 3 actuators on each swashplate, and explanations for the relative ranges are discussed. In low speed, differential moment variation between the rotors allows for actuator settings accounting for approximately 30% of the total range. In moderate and high speed these ranges change due to the moment balance between the rotor and aerosurfaces of the vehicle, with the aft actuator on each rotor trimmable over the entire allowable range, whereas the forward and lateral actuator on the two rotors have allowable ranges accounting for 40-60% and 20-25% of the total range, respectively.
Modeling of Proprotor / Wing / Flap Interaction for Advanced Vertical Lift Aircraft
Authors:   Continuum Dynamics Inc., Quackenbush Todd , Solomon Christine , Wachspress Daniel , Yu Michael
Published: July 2023

Recent advanced vertical lift aircraft under development, including several eVTOL configurations, employ tiltwing or tailsitter designs that feature strong proprotor/wing interaction. The operational and flight control requirements of these aircraft typically require the use of flapped wing surfaces to provide high lift in critical low-speed and transition flight conditions. This paper builds on and extends recent assessments of the capabilities of current-generation 'mid-fidelity' design support tools for addressing the complex interactional aerodynamics of such aircraft. The focus here is on the analysis of multiple-component wings operating in proprotor-induced flows, an important step in enabling sizing and design of lifting surfaces for practical tiltwing aircraft. While motivated in part by recent design efforts, the paper does not concern itself with specific new designs, but rather with assessing the readiness of current tools for supporting analysis of such configurations through validation with relevant public domain data sets, identifying both areas of strong predictive capability and challenges requiring additional development work.
