With the need for more condensed airborne clusters in a shortened time, there are increased risks of parachute collision and other interactions in the air. In this paper, the flight dynamics model of the parachute system is proposed for the whole dep...
To investigate the multi-stage inflation mechanism of a supersonic reefed parachute cluster, an ALE-based fluid–structure interaction method is applied. The canopy permeability is modeled using the Ergun equation, and the virtual structure cont...
Parachutes and other inflatable aerodynamic decelerators usually use flexible fabrics due to their lightweight and high load-carrying capacity. The behavior of fabrics during complex deformations is mainly influenced by their shear properties. The sh...
High-fidelity simulations are used to study the stability of a coupled parachute–payload system in different configurations. A 8.53 m ring–slot canopy is attached to two separate International Organization for Standardization (ISO) contai...
The goal of this paper is to investigate the aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic behavior of the Schiaparelli capsule after the deployment of a supersonic disk-gap-band (DGB) parachute during its re-entry phase into the Martian atmosphere. The novelty...
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an advanced imaging technique which features nanoscale resolution and the ability to work under physiological conditions on soft samples. Modern AFM systems offer easy access to Dynamic Mode imaging which reduces the...
With the wide application of airdrop technology in rescue activities in civil and aerospace fields, the importance of accurate airdrop is increasing. This work comprehensively analyzes the interactive mechanisms among multiple models affecting airdro...
The general objective of this study was to identify the variation in heart rate (HR) of Portuguese skydivers during 6 moments in their first jump of the day, bearing in mind the variable level of experience. Thirty-one Portuguese skydivers, 28 men an...
Co-crystal innovation is an opportunity in drug development for both scientists and industry. In line with the “green pharmacy” concept for obtaining safer methods and advanced pharmaceutical products, co-crystallization is one of the most promising...
Towing cable arrays have made significant contributions across various fields, and their outspread process is crucial for realizing their functionalities. However, research on the dynamic characterization of the outspread process of towed cable array...
Transport of cells in fluid flow plays a critical role in many physiological processes of the human body. Recent developments of in vitro techniques have enabled the understanding of cellular dynamics in laboratory conditions. However, it is challeng...
Hot melt extrusion (HME), a continuous manufacturing process for generating supersaturating amorphous self-micellizing solid dispersion systems (saSMSDs), holds promise for achieving amorphization of many pharmaceutical formulations. For saSMSDs gene...
Prophylactic administration of the broad-spectrum chemokine inhibitor (BSCI) FX125L has been shown to suppress uterine contraction, prevent preterm birth (PTB) induced by Group B Streptococcus in nonhuman primates, and inhibit uterine cytokine/chemok...
Background: Myricetin (MYR) is a natural flavonol with antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cardioprotective activities. Still, its pharmaceutical use is limited by very low aqueous solubility (~16.6 µg/mL) and poo...
The short-term immediate release of supersaturated drug-delivery systems (SDDSs) presents an interesting process that can be tailored to multi-stage release events including initial release after dosing and dissolution, evolved release over longer di...
