Effects of obesity on the biomechanics of children's gait at different speeds
Creators: name: Gouws, Philana-Lee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and spatio-temporal gait characteristics of overweight/obese and non-obese school-aged children (12-14 years) at two different walking speeds. Eighty-four overweight/obese (n=28; age: 13.96 ± 0.79 yrs; mass: 74.8 ± 18.21 kg; height: 159.2 ± 7.1 cm and BMI: 29.28 ± 5.64 kg/m2) and non-obese students (n=56; age: 13.72 ± 0.79 yrs; mass: 51.7 ± 10.2 kg; height: 157.8 ± 8.3 cm and BMI: 20.69 ± 2.74 kg/m2) with no present injuries were recruited. Participants were instructed to walk across an electronic walkway in each of two experimental conditions: a self-selected comfortable walking speed and a "walk more quickly" speed. Dependent variables of interest were cadence, gait velocity, step length (left and right), base of support (left and right) and percent double support (left and right). Independent t-tests reported a significant difference for BMI between groups (p < 0.000). Results for 2 (group) x 2 (speed) mixed model ANOVAs identified no significant interactions, while walking speed produced significantly different velocity, cadence, step length, and percent double support characteristics. Bilateral double support percent and bilateral base of support were significantly different between groups. It was observed that the noncontributory mass (additional excess fat) possessed by overweight/obese children may contribute to biomechanical inefficiency of movement and impaired stability. Many growing children, more commonly obese children, display considerable disruption to normal spatio-temporal gait characteristics when walking at a slower or more quickly and normal walking pace. The obese group showed pronounced alteration in gait for both base of support as well as double support (% gait cycle). These changes have been interpreted as representing underlying instability in obese children, with a normal, comfortable walking speed and longer periods of double support and base of support thought to assist with the maintenance of dynamic balance when performing everyday movement tasks. An exploratory multiple regression analysis was performed to predict BMI as the dependent variable from gait-related variables identified (n=17) for each walking speed. Results identified double support time was a primary predictor of BMI in 12-14 year old children. The unreliability of gait patterning observed in obese children is related to body composition and is affected by speed of walking. The evaluation of gait may also provide an indication of potential problems with the persistence of obesity.

description: We present a new simulation engine for fast generation of ultra-high energy cosmic ray data based on parametrizations of common assumptions of UHECR origin and propagation. Implemented are deflections in unstructured turbulent extragalactic fields, energy losses for protons due to photo-pion production and electron-pair production, as well as effects from the expansion of the universe. Additionally, a simple model to estimate propagation effects from iron nuclei is included. Deflections in galactic magnetic fields are included using a matrix approach with precalculated lenses generated from backtracked cosmic rays. The PARSEC program is based on object oriented programming paradigms enabling users to extend the implemented models and is steerable with a graphical user interface.

The Rhetorical Significance of Gojira
Creators: name: Stevens, Shannon Victoria
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Gojira, commonly known as the "original" Godzilla movie, is a clear commentary on the horrors the Japanese people suffered during and after the dropping of nuclear bombs in their country at the end of World War II. The intent of this thesis is to demonstrate that Gojira is a rhetorical experience that permitted the Japanese to discuss the un-discussable--namely, the destruction of Japan caused by the awakening of the American "monster" of war and nuclear weapons. The thesis is argued in four chapters. Chapter one is the prospectus, chapter two provides historical context of the emergence of nuclear culture, chapter three examines the film thematically from a psychoanalytic and narrative framework within its historical context while explaining its rhetorical significance, and chapter four serves as a conclusion. It is hoped that this project will contribute to the body of rhetorical studies of film as well as communication research related to nuclear weapons research and use.

title: Recycling at work: Waste reduction and recycling in the Las Vegas hospitality industry
Creators: name: Cartier, Darlene M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1997

description: The Las Vegas hotel and restaurant industries generate 27% of the total waste for Clark County, Nevada. In an effort to study and increase recycling participation in the hospitality industry, Las Vegas hotels and restaurants were contacted to participate in a collaborative project between UNLV's Department of Environmental Studies and the Clark County Health District's Environmental Health Division, The project involved interviewing establishments with recycling programs currently in place. Information gathered from interviews and program tours was used to develop programs for hotels and restaurants who were not yet recycling. This thesis contains case studies of restaurants and hotels who were not recycling prior to their participation in this study, Waste assessments were performed and a recycling program was designed based on the needs of the specific business. Other case studies included are from hotels and restaurants whose programs were used as models for many of the newly implemented programs. Recycling program details, including costs and savings are included for each participant. Because of the difficulty in obtaining information from Silver State Disposal regarding specific waste volumes generated, some of the hotels were unable to provide certain details about their programs. However, all available information shared during the interviews and tours at the hotels and restaurants is included in each case study,

description: The curve time series framework provides a convenient vehicle to accommodate some nonstationary features into a stationary setup. We propose a new method to identify the dimensionality of curve time series based on the dynamical dependence across different curves. The practical implementation of our method boils down to an eigenanalysis of a finite-dimensional matrix. Furthermore, the determination of the dimensionality is equivalent to the identification of the nonzero eigenvalues of the matrix, which we carry out in terms of some bootstrap tests. Asymptotic properties of the proposed method are investigated. In particular, our estimators for zero-eigenvalues enjoy the fast convergence rate n while the estimators for nonzero eigenvalues converge at the standard $\sqrt{n}$-rate. The proposed methodology is illustrated with both simulated and real data sets.

description: We provide lower error bounds for randomized algorithms that approximate integrals of functions depending on an unrestricted or even infinite number of variables. More precisely, we consider the infinite-dimensional integration problem on weighted Hilbert spaces with an underlying anchored decomposition and arbitrary weights. We focus on randomized algorithms and the randomized worst case error. We study two cost models for function evaluation which depend on the number of active variables of the chosen sample points. Multilevel algorithms behave very well with respect to the first cost model, while changing dimension algorithms and also dimension-wise quadrature methods, which are based on a similar idea, can take advantage of the more generous second cost model. We prove the first non-trivial lower error bounds for randomized algorithms in these cost models and demonstrate their quality in the case of product weights. In particular, we show that the randomized changing dimension algorithms provided in [L. Plaskota, G. W. Wasilkowski, J. Complexity 27 (2011), 505--518] achieve convergence rates arbitrarily close to the optimal convergence rate.

description: Microbes are important producers of natural products, which have played key roles in understanding biology and treating disease. However, the full potential of microbes to produce natural products has yet to be realized; the overwhelming majority of natural product gene clusters encoded in microbial genomes remain “cryptic”, and have not been expressed or characterized. In contrast to the fast-growing number of genomic sequences and bioinformatic tools, methods to connect these genes to natural product molecules are still limited, creating a bottleneck in genome-mining efforts to discover novel natural products. Here we review developing technologies that leverage the power of homologous recombination to directly capture natural product gene clusters and express them in model hosts for isolation and structural characterization. Although direct capture is still in its early stages of development, it has been successfully utilized in several different classes of natural products. These early successes will be reviewed, and the methods will be compared and contrasted with existing traditional technologies. Lastly, we will discuss the opportunities for the development of direct capture in other organisms, and possibilities to integrate direct capture with emerging genome-editing techniques to accelerate future study of natural products.

description: A method to quantify the error probability at the Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key exchange is introduced. The types of errors due to statistical inaccuracies in noise voltage measurements are classified and the error probability is calculated. The most interesting finding is that the error probability decays exponentially with the duration of the time window of single bit exchange. The results indicate that it is feasible to have so small error probabilities of the exchanged bits that error correction algorithms are not required. The results are demonstrated with practical considerations.

description: Background: Measurements of neutron radii provide important constraints on the isovector sector of nuclear density functionals and offer vital guidance in areas as diverse as atomic parity violation, heavy-ion collisions, and neutron-star structure. Purpose: To assess the impact of spin-orbit currents on the electromagnetic- and weak-charge radii of a variety of nuclei. Special emphasis is placed on the experimentally accessible electroweak skin, defined as the difference between weak-charge and electromagnetic-charge radii. Methods: Two accurately calibrated relativistic mean field models are used to compute proton, neutron, charge, and weak-charge radii of a variety of nuclei. Results: We find that spin-orbit contributions to the electroweak skin of light neutron-rich nuclei, such as 22O and 48Ca, are significant and result in a substantial increase in the size of the electroweak skin relative to the neutron skin. Conclusions: Given that spin-orbit contributions to both the charge and weak-charge radii of nuclei are often as large as present or anticipated experimental error bars, future calculations must incorporate spin-orbit currents in the calculation of electroweak form factors.

description: Objective: Biguanides are anti-diabetic drugs that are thought to have anti-tumorigenic effects. Most pre-clinical studies have focused on metformin for cancer treatment and prevention; however, buformin may be potentially more potent than metformin. Given this, our goal was to evaluate the effects of buformin on cell growth, adhesion and invasion in endometrial cancer cell lines. Methods: The ECC-1 and Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell lines were used. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle analysis was performed by FITC Annexin V assay and propidium iodide staining, respectively. Adhesion was analyzed using the laminin adhesion assay. Invasion was assessed using the transwell invasion assay. The effects of buformin on the AMPK/mTOR pathway were determined by Western immunoblotting. Results: Buformin and metformin inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in both endometrial cancer cell lines. IC50s were 1.4-1.6 mM for metformin and 8-150 μM for buformin. Buformin induced cell cycle G1 phase arrest in the ECC-1 cells and G2 phase arrest in the Ishikawa cells. For both ECC-1 and Ishikawa cells, treatment with buformin resulted in induction of apoptosis, reduction in adhesion and invasion, activation of AMPK and inhibition of phosphorylated-S6. Buformin potentiated the anti-proliferative effects of paclitaxel in both cell lines. Conclusion: Buformin has significant anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic effects in endometrial cancer cells through modulation of the AMPK/mTOR pathway. IC50 values were lower for buformin than metformin, suggesting that buformin may be more potent for endometrial cancer treatment and worthy of further investigation.

description: The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope observed nearly 800 point sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), taking over 1000 spectra. 197 of these targets were observed as part of the SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy program; the remainder are from a variety of different calibration, guaranteed time and open time projects. We classify these point sources into types according to their infrared spectral features, continuum and spectral energy distribution shape, bolometric luminosity, cluster membership and variability information, using a decision-tree classification method. We then refine the classification using supplementary information from the astrophysical literature. We find that our IRS sample is comprised substantially of YSO and H ii regions, post-main-sequence low-mass stars: (post-)asymptotic giant branch stars and planetary nebulae and massive stars including several rare evolutionary types. Two supernova remnants, a nova and several background galaxies were also observed. We use these classifications to improve our understanding of the stellar populations in the LMC, study the composition and characteristics of dust species in a variety of LMC objects, and to verify the photometric classification methods used by mid-IR surveys. We discover that some widely used catalogues of objects contain considerable contamination and others are missing sources in our sample.

description: Orthopaedic bone cutting processes such as osteotomy and hip arthroplasty involve the cutting of one with the aid of various manual and powered cutting instruments including manual and powered bone saws. The extent of surgically induced bone necrosis at the point of the cutting tool and the bone is mainly due to the frictional heat generated by bone cutting. Bone necrosis has an impact on bone regeneration, and the rate of healing of the bone post operation. The threshold temperature for impaired regeneration of bone is in the range of 44°C to 47°C. Overheating also affects the sharpness life of the blade. A review of the literature indicates that work has been completed on temperature in the immediate cutting zone. This current research focuses on the size of the overheated zone relative to the cutting position and effect of blade sharpness and cutting parameters such as cutting forces and rate of cutting on the size of the affected zone.
title: Establishing the Key Pillars of Innovation Required to Execute a Successful BIM Strategy Within a Construction SME in Ireland

Year: 2017

description: The recent resurgence of the Irish Construction Industry comes at a time of global transition towards an information revolution, with technology now playing a vital role within our post-recessionary society. BIM is now seen as a core technology at the forefront of this transformational change which can present Construction SMEs with opportunities to new financial ventures. If any SME organisation is to be successful with BIM adoption then innovation must be the starting point. The aim of this paper is to establish the enabling factors required for innovating a BIM strategy within a SME Construction Organisation. The methodology involved a critical in-depth desk top study which was complimented through a series of interviews with SMEs based within the Irish AEC Sector. The interviews examined current attitudes, BIM maturity and organisation barriers with respect to the enabling factors of BIM innovation for SMEs. The research highlights that if these enabling factors are successfully addressed then BIM has the potential to in-crease consumer expectations, offer greater exposure to larger and more profitable projects. The research findings further demonstrate the need for a clear and simply understood BIM adoption Strategy amongst SMEs. However, to fully innovate BIM processes the major factor required is for the Irish Government to mandate BIM which will assist in driving SMEs forward.

description: The composition dependence of the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of epitaxially grown Mn-Co-Ga films were investigated. The crystal structure was observed to change from tetragonal to cubic as the Co content was increased. In terms of the dependence of saturation magnetization on the Co content, relatively small value was obtained for the Mn$_{2.3}$Co$_{0.4}$Ga$_{1.3}$ film at a large {\it K}$_\textrm u$ value of 9.2 Merg/cm$^3$. Electrical resistivity of Mn-Co-Ga films was larger than that of pure Mn-Ga film. The maximum value of the resistivity was 490 $μΩ$cm for Mn$_{2.2}$Co$_{0.6}$Ga$_{1.2}$ film. The high resistivity of Mn-Co-Ga might be due to the presence of localized electron states in the films due to chemical disordering caused by the Co substitution.

description: On a smooth line bundle $L$ over a compact Kähler Riemann surface $Σ$, we study the family of vortex equations with a parameter $s$. For each $s \in [1,\infty]$, we invoke techniques in \cite{Br} by turning the $s$-vortex equation into an $s$-dependent elliptic partial differential equation, studied in \cite{kw}, providing an explicit moduli space description of the space of gauge classes of solutions. We are particularly interested in the bijective correspondence between the open subset of vortices without common zeros and the space of holomorphic maps. For each $s$, the correspondence is uniquely determined by a smooth function $u_s$ on $Σ$, and we confirm its convergent behaviors as $s \to \infty$. Our results prove a conjecture posed by Baptista in \cite{Ba}, stating that the $s$-dependent correspondence is an isometry between the open subsets when $s=\infty$, with $L^2$ metrics appropriately defined.

description: Рождественские речи испанского монарха представляют собой один из немногих случаев обращения главы государства к своим подданным по телевидению. Настоящая статья посвящена изучению произнесенных в период с 1975 по 2019 гг. рождественских посланий Хуана Карлоса I и Филиппа VI в контексте политической риторики. Научная ценность исследования заключается в сравнительном анализе риторического потенциала рождественских речей двух испанских монархов, а также в описании набора инвариантных и вариативных признаков указанных текстов. На протяжении рассматриваемого периода создается образ сильного правового государства, в котором монарх позиционирует себя в качестве гаранта стабильного и устойчивого развития страны особенно в годы политического и экономического кризиса.

description: Shannon's fundamental bound for perfect secrecy says that the entropy of the secret message cannot be larger than the entropy of the secret key initially shared by the sender and the legitimate receiver. Massey gave an information theoretic proof of this result, however this proof does not require independence of the key and ciphertext. By further assuming independence, we obtain a tighter lower bound, namely that the key entropy is not less than the logarithm of the message sample size in any cipher achieving perfect secrecy, even if the source distribution is fixed. The same bound also applies to the entropy of the ciphertext. The bounds still hold if the secret message has been compressed before encryption. This paper also illustrates that the lower bound only gives the minimum size of the pre-shared secret key. When a cipher system is used multiple times, this is no longer a reasonable measure for the portion of key consumed in each round. Instead, this paper proposes and justifies a new measure for key consumption rate. The existence of a fundamental tradeoff between the expected key consumption and the number of channel uses for conveying a ciphertext is shown. Optimal and nearly optimal secure codes are designed.

description: Автором предложена новая концепция развития городского контекста Волгограда. Проведено исследование знаковых систем и символов города с использованием семиотического анализа архитектурных объектов и градостроительных систем. Предложен вариант парадигматической и синтагматической осей в действующем «языке» города. На основе анализа с позиции трёх основных аспектов семиотики определены проблемы в современном прочтении и ассоциативном восприятии города через призму сложившейся языковой системы городских символов. Для определения проблемы градостроительного планирования введено понятие «семиотическая колея городского развития», решить которую можно с помощью семиотического подхода. Предложена авторская концепция интерпретации городского текста – перекодирования существующих осей «языка» города. Новая смысловая концепция города развивает существующий интертекстуальный потенциал образовательного и наукоёмкого ресурса, формируя новые символы, смысловой основой которых является городской университет. В условиях современных процессов переурбанизации, трансформирования привычных форм социального общения переосмысление городского пространства через систему городских университетов позволит сформировать новую ось городского «языка» и вырваться из сложившейся «семиотической колеи городского развития», в которой находится город.

description: Technical Support spam, which abuse Web 2.0 and carry out social engineering attacks have been in existence for a very long time, despite several measures taken to thwart such attacks. Although recent research has looked into unveiling tactics employed by spammers to lure victims, damage done on Online Social Networks is largely unexplored. In this paper, we perform the first large-scale study to understand the behavior of technical support spammers, and compare them with the legitimate technical support offered to OSN users by several brands such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon.

We analyze the spam and legitimate accounts over a period of 20 months, and provide a taxonomy of the different types of spammers that are active in Tech Support spam landscape. We develop an automated mechanism to classify spammers from legitimate accounts, achieving a precision, recall of 99.8%.
Our results shed light on the threats associated with billions of users using OSNs from Tech Support spam, and can help researchers and OSN service providers in developing effective countermeasures to fight them.

description: We present a general principle for the rational design of dielectric optical antennas with optimal solar absorption enhancement: leaky mode engineering. This builds upon our previous study that demonstrates the solar absorption of a material with a given volume only dependent on the density and the radiative loss of leaky modes of the material. Here we systematically examine the correlation among the modal properties (density and radiative loss) of leaky modes, physical features, and solar absorption of dielectric antenna structures. Our analysis clearly points out the general guidelineS for the design of dielectric optical antennas with optimal solar absorption enhancement: a) using 0D structures; b) the shape does not matter much; c) heterostructuring with non-absorbing materials is a promising strategy; d) the design of a large-scale nanostructure array can use the solar absorption of single nanostructures as a reasonable reference.

description: BACKGROUND: Declining platelet counts may reveal platelet activation and aggregation in a postoperative prothrombotic state. Therefore, we hypothesized that nadir platelet counts after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery are associated with stroke.

METHODS: We evaluated 6130 adult CABG surgery patients. Postoperative platelet counts were evaluated as continuous and categorical (mild versus moderate to severe) predictors of stroke. Extended Cox proportional hazard regression analysis with a time-varying covariate for daily minimum postoperative platelet count assessed the association of day-to-day variations in postoperative platelet count with time to stroke. Competing risks proportional hazard regression models examined associations between day-to-day variations in postoperative platelet counts with timing of stroke (early: 0-1 days; delayed: ≥2 days).

RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) postoperative nadir platelet counts were 123.0 (98.0-155.0) × 10/L. The incidences of postoperative stroke were 1.09%, 1.50%, and 3.02% for platelet counts >150 × 10/L, 100 to 150 × 10/L, and <100 × 10/L, respectively. The risk for stroke increased by 12% on a given postoperative day for every 30 × 10/L decrease in platelet counts (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.24; P= .0255). On a given day, patients with moderate to severe thrombocytopenia were almost twice as likely to develop stroke (adjusted HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.13-3.16; P= .0155) as patients with nadir platelet counts >150 × 10/L. Importantly, such thrombocytopenia, defined as a time-varying covariate, was significantly associated with delayed (≥2 days after surgery; adjusted HR, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.48-5.41; P= .0017) but not early postoperative stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest an independent association between moderate to severe postoperative thrombocytopenia and postoperative stroke, and timing of stroke after CABG surgery.

description: Cellular biology exists embedded in a world dominated by random dynamics and chance. Many vital molecules and pieces of cellular machinery diffuse within cells, moving along random trajectories as they collide with the other biomolecular inhabitants of the cell. Cellular components may block each other's progress, be produced or degraded at random times, and become unevenly separated as cells grow and divide. Cellular behaviour, including important features of stem cells, tumours and infectious bacteria, is profoundly influenced by the chaos which is the environment within the cell walls. Here we will look at some important causes and effects of randomness in cellular biology, and some ways in which researchers, helped by the vast amounts of data that are now flowing in, have made progress in describing the randomness of nature.

description: We study zigzag interfaces between insulating compounds that are isostructural to graphene, specifically II-VI, III-V and IV-IV two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb insulators. We show that these one-dimensional interfaces are polar, with a net density of excess charge that can be simply determined by using the ideal (integer) formal valence charges, regardless of the predominant covalent character of the bonding in these materials. We justify this finding on fundamental physical grounds, by analyzing the topology of the formal polarization lattice in the parent bulk materials. First principles calculations elucidate an electronic compensation mechanism not dissimilar to oxide interfaces, which is triggered by a Zener-like charge transfer between interfaces of opposite polarity. In particular, we predict the emergence of one dimensional electron and hole gases (1DEG), which in some cases are ferromagnetic half-metallic.

description: Впервые в отечественной науке рассматривается двух и трёхчастные фибулы, обнаруженные в ходе раскопок на одном из могильников римского времени на границе Barbaricum и Sarmatia. Ппроведённый в статье анализ фибул позволяет сделать следующие выводы: 1. Двучленные подвязные фибулы появляются сразу одновременно в виде трёх типов у населения округи могильника Lauth/Б. Исаково во второй четверти III в. н.э. Учитывая их связь с германскими древностями, следует связать их появление в изучаемом микрорегионе Самбии как результат присутствия групп вельбарского (шире — древнегерманского) населения в среде эстиев. 2. Характерные для материалов IV в., фибулы типа Å3 являются результатом творческой переработки германских образцов местными ювелирами. 3. V в. с самого своего начала был отмечен для комплексов могильника Lauth / Б. Исаково распространением восходящих к вельбарской традиции фибул с гусеницевидной ножкой, и их дериватов, именуемых в в археологии фибулами типа Schönwarling. На завершающем этапе их использования, в третьей четверти V в. в комплексах могильника появляются фибулы со звёздчатой ножкой. 4. Разнообразие фибул позднеримского периода и эпохи Великого переселения народов, ставшее результатом взаимодействия на Янтарном берегу и на Самбии различных по этно-культурному происхождению групп населения, завершается в кон. V в. н.э., на начальной фазе формирования прусской археологической культуры. Единообразие фибульного материала должно манифестировать сложение в Янтарном крае монолитной этно-культурной общности.

description: In order to explore a way to completely transform China, the Chinese Communists have vigorously promoted the style of investigations and research in rural areas. Chen Yun is a model of this rural investigation movement. He focused on understanding the life of the peasant class and the reality of China's rural areas through field investigations. The survey content was meticulous and extensive, and the survey process sought truth from facts. He creatively used a variety of survey methods based on objective conditions, and strove to earnestly benefit the people. Chen Yun provided Marxist guiding ideology for rural investigations in China, guided rural investigations to proceed on the right track, and at the same time infused rural investigations with the value concept of putting the people first, which still has important reference significance for solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in the new situation.

description: Space weather is a relatively new discipline which is generally unknown to the wider public, despite its increasing importance to all of our daily lives. Outreach activities can help in promoting the concept of space weather. In particular the visual beauty and excitement of the aurora make these lights a wonderful inspirational hook. A century ago Norwegian experimental physicist Kristian Birkeland, one of the founding fathers of modern space science, demonstrated with his Terrella experiment the formation of the aurora. Recently a modernised version of the Terrella has been designed. This Planeterrella experiment is very flexible, allowing the visualization of many phenomena occurring in our space environment. Although the Planeterrella was originally designed to be small to be demonstrated locally by a scientist, the Planeterrella has proved to be a very successful public outreach experiment. We believe that its success is due to two main factors (i) the Planeterrella is not patented and the plans are given freely to any public institution and (ii) the advertisement does not rely on press release, books or web sites but mainly on National and European scientific networks such as COST ES 0803. Today, nine Planeterrellas are operating or under construction in four different countries, and more are in the pipleline. In five years, about 50,000 people in Europe have been able to see live demonstrations of the formation of auroral lights, picture the space environment and get an introduction to space weather with this experiment. Many more have seen the Planeterrella demonstrated on TV shows. This paper presents the process that led to the making of the Planeterrella and proposes some lessons learned from it.

description: Aquatic animals have splendid ability to move smoothly through water using variety of oscillating fins. Presently researchers are involved in developing biorobotic autonomous underwater vehicles (BAUVs) which have the ability to swim like marine animals. Multiple oscillating fins (dorsal, caudal, pectoral, pelvic, etc.) can be mounted on BAUVs to generate control forces for propulsion and maneuvering. In this research work, control of the BAUVs using pectoral fins alone is considered. The oscillating pectoral fins produce unsteady periodic forces. The control of motion of an BAUV in yaw and dive planes are considered.
