  1. 1. Color and wing size: identifying targets of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellen Pääjärvi Våg; [2024]
    Keywords : Sexual selection; wing interference patterns; Drosophila melanogaster; visual signaling; sexuell selektion; vingmönster; bananfluga; visuell signalering;

    Abstract : This study explores the relationship between wing size, coloration, and reproductivesuccess in Drosophila melanogaster, fruit flies. Sexual selection, a key aspect ofevolutionary biology, often involves visual signaling as a means of displaying geneticinformation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Interior Design Of Hydro-Foiling Boat

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Industridesign

    Author : Anton Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Boat; Interior Design; Design; Hydro-Foil; Industrial Design;

    Abstract : Boats have a rich history, evolving in shape and purpose. From ancient logboats to modern superyachts, their design depends on their intended use. Among personal watercraft, such as yachts and motorboats, there are various types like fishing boats and day cruisers. Runabout boats are popular today for leisure. READ MORE

  4. 3. The perfect wing, The perfect trade-off? : What implements the main selection pressure on wing morphology?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Emme MacDonald; [2023]
    Keywords : Bird; wing morphology; migration; habitat; aspect ratio; wing loading;

    Abstract : Selection pressure is a constant force in evolution, pushing birds and their wings towards an optimal shape and structure, were increasing performance, and minimizing the costs is central. But even though the science of aerodynamics can provide calculations of the optimal construction for the wing in different situations this rarely directly correspond to what is observed in nature.

  6. 5. CFD Analysis of the Flow Around a Paraglider Wing

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Caterina Gennari; [2023]
    Keywords : Paraglider Wing; CFD; RANS; DES; Aerodynamics; Aerodynamic Hysteresis; FSI; Deformable Structure; Membrane; Shell Elements;

    Abstract : In this study, the characteristics of the flow around a paraglider wing were investigated through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations by solving both Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulations were employed. This allowed the observation of how the unique shape of the canopy of a paraglider can influence the behaviour of the flow and how aerodynamic hysteresis can manifest on this sort of wing. READ MORE
