18 cze 2008 · We propose that there are at least four major aspects of flight biology that can serve as research foci in the next decade, and in which aerospheric conditions are likely to figure in critical ways: (1) mechanics and aerodynamics of flight; (2) energetics of flight; (3) sensory detection of status of the aerosphere; and (4) motor control of ...
Polar balloon flights would provide the largest levels of ionizing radiation to biological balloon payloads due to the window of energy-intense particles penetrating stratosphere latitudes above 70°.
23 sty 2008 · To provide a rigorous experimental investigation, we compare three-dimensional (3D) kinematics during level flapping flight (the definitive stage of aerial locomotor capacity in avian evolution...
17 kwi 2023 · As interdisciplinary approaches have gained traction, animal physiologists now have the tools at their disposal to perform a detailed examination of organismal flight at all levels: from materials, structures and actuators through to sensing, state-estimation, information processing and multi-agent communication.
9 maj 2006 · The purpose of this primer is to provide an overview of key principles in these three salient areas of flight biology, and is motivated by recent technical advances that are beginning to unravel many long-standing problems.
Dr. Michael Dickinson’s lab studies the flight behavior of insects. Lab members combine their interests in cellular physiology, biomechanics, aerodynamics and neuroscience to build an integrated model of insect flight.
The overarching goal of Space Biology Cell and Molecular Biology research at NASA is to determine how the stresses of the spaceflight environment affect living systems at the basic cellular and molecular levels, using contemporary cell and molecular biology techniques and measures.
