of the hierarchy, fibre bundles are spun together as yarns, which in turn form the weave structure of the cloth. To assess the current state of these fibres, physical properties of yarns from the Victory sail and appropriate surrogate materials were determined. Additional destructive tests on surrogates suggested

. The new theory opens the possibility of ab initio computational prediction of characteristics of a sailing boat using les than a million meshpoints without resolving thin boundary layers, instead of the imposssible quadrillions required according to state-of-the-art for boundary layer resolution. 1 New

We consider the problem of finding a route that minimises the expected sailing time between two points on the ocean under uncertain weather conditions. This has applications in long distance offshore yacht racing. The uncertainty in the weather is modelled by a branching scenario tree that captures

Roof rats (Rattus rattus) first arrived in the contiguous United States on sailing vessels along with early explorers and colonists (Lowery 1974). Their distribution had expanded considerably along routes of commerce by the

and community care sectors. The paper suggests that such reforms have created a somewhat fluid state of affairs whereby DT staff need decide whether or not they effectively embrace change and the challenges that such reforms have brought, or accept a substantially lesser role in the overall scheme of Australian

This pa-per outlines the method for a simple test of this technique involving feedback of actuator temper-ature and a simple circadian rhythm on a small

in velocity of a reflector would result in the reflector observing a change in wavelength from a source. Applying these concepts results in the reflectors available discrete energy states not being filled, after the reflector changes its velocity. Changes in the apparatus of the laser-driven light sail

Abstract Over the past four years, undergraduate students in the Systems Engi-neering degree program at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) have pur-sued autonomous sailboat systems development as part of their required capstone project in conjunction with students from the Naval Architecture
