Study the variation of the pitching frequency of sounding rockets

Sounding rockets typically feature an axially symmetric design and are launched vertically to facilitate research and high-altitude atmospheric data collection. Manufacturing errors can cause axial asymmetry, leading to undesirable rocket trajectory dispersion. Sounding rockets are often designed to spin around their axis to mitigate these effects. However, axial spinning motion can resonate with short-period oscillations, creating large normal loads that may damage the rocket’s structures. This paper focuses on analyzing the variations in the pitching frequency, which may help predict the roll resonance phenomenon. In this study, the authors constructed a six-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for a sounding rocket, considering all aerodynamic problems and the variation of inertial characteristics. To determine the pitching frequency, an impulse is applied to the rocket to generate short-period oscillation. The Fourier transform is then used to analyze and obtain the frequency of the rocket while oscillating in space. The results demonstrate agreement with the theoretical model, thereby substantiating the validity of the current method. The findings of this research provide valuable recommendations for the design and manufacturing process of sounding rockets, which may help mitigate the adverse effects of motion resonance during flight.

Incorporating citizen science engagement in a vector surveillance undergraduate internship

Citizen science is recognized as an important tool to engage the public in important scientific and environmental issues that impact them. Mosquito surveillance-based citizen science in college curricula have not received much attention even though its usage has the potential to actively engage students in inquiry and elevate student support for science. FLAGG (Florida Aedes Genome Group) was a course-based internship where college students engaged in mosquito egg collections, learned about disease transmission, and gained an understanding of data collection in scientific research. This paper reports on a study comparing the outcomes of FLAGG participants with students in other college internships and students who had never done an internship. Findings show that participation in the citizen science mosquito control internship not only increased knowledge and skills in mosquito abatement, but also increased confidence and to a certain extent, sense of engagement, when compared to other groups. These results support the inclusion of citizen science methods in college-based curricula, where benefits extend beyond content learning.

An Agent-Based "Virtual Clinical Trial" for the Analysis and Evaluation of COPD Patients Cohorts Behavior

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Treatment typically involves lifestyle adjustments, medication, and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function and quality of life. This study presents a model examining COPD patient behavior within cohort-based strategies, focusing on how environmental factors impact vital signs across the entire cohort. We developed a comprehensive virtual clinical trial model that encompasses study protocol design, participant recruitment, virtual data collection, outcome analysis, and conclusions. This includes remote symptom monitoring, virtual healthcare consultations, treatment adherence assessments, and research data collection. Additionally, we explore the influence of external variables such as environmental conditions, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors on chronic disease symptoms and disease stability. We used an Agent-Based Model(ABM) to incorporate these factors to assess COPD progression and treatment efficacy. Individual agents represent COPD patients, each characterized by attributes such as age, smoking history, lung function, comorbidities, and treatment plans.

A systematic literature review of slow tourism

This systematic literature review focuses on slow tourism, which grew in popularity during COVID-19. It highlights the gaps in the literature for future researchers by compiling the papers published on slow tourism between 2010 and 2021. In addition, the managerial suggestions we make serve as lessons for practitioners. Developed as a systematic literature review, we used different selection criteria including papers published in English in Q1 or Q2 journals between 2010 and 2021 in the sample. This study identified the following parameters: the number of publications, the most preferred research methodology and data collection methods, and the geographical coverage of slow tourism papers. The relationship between slow tourism and sustainability is strengthened by our analysis. We identified qualitative studies, particularly in-depth interviews, as the most popular data collection method for slow tourism studies. Australia, the United Kingdom, and Poland were the most popular destinations in terms of the geographical context of these studies, followed by Italy. As the literature is missing a unified definition of slow tourism, we propose one based on the four-pillar model.
