Flex flap

To provide flap with large upper surface radius as required for airplanes with over-the-wing blowing, distort upper surface of flap by actuator. Flap can be used as control surface at leading as well as trailing edges and, with minor modification, as variant of Jacobs-Hurkamp air flap

Many thanks

I would especially like to thank the following people for their help in my research into the Brownsville Missouri Pacific passenger station. Without their help, I would have had something, but probably not much of something. These people provided me with many things, such as photos, information, contacts, ideas, opinions, enthusiasm, and encouragement. I am indebted to them for their assistance. My hat is off to you guys.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/mopacbrownsville/1043/thumbnail.jp

Missouri Pacific Brownsville Depot Measurement files - Measurement notice

There were many more photographs, post cards, etc., that I used to determine measurements from, however, some of those, including many of the most important ones, were still copyrighted, and so could not be included in this collection. That is unfortunate, but the included files do give an indication of the method I used. On the file include here, the measurements notated on the photo are not necessarily the final measurements I settled on in all cases. Some of the photos I was not able to include have the more accurate determined measurements notated on them. Please see my Tips on Internet Research and Photo Extrapolation document in the Writings folder.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/mopacbrownsville/1020/thumbnail.jp

Missouri Pacific Brownsville Depot Writings - History revision 2

Typed document. The railroad passenger station in Brownsville, Texas that saw service through the Depression, World War II, and the twilight years of rail travel in the United States was a unique structure in many ways. For many of Brownsville’s residents, this building was the prime example of the beautiful architecture which abounds throughout the city. What brought about the need for this station and its construction is an interesting story, and begins with the history of the railroads in south Texas. © 2017 David N.

Theoretical characterization of a model of aragonite crystal orientation in red abalone nacre

Nacre, commonly known as mother-of-pearl, is a remarkable biomineral that in red abalone consists of layers of 400-nm thick aragonite crystalline tablets confined by organic matrix sheets, with the $(001)$ crystal axes of the aragonite tablets oriented to within $\pm$ 12 degrees from the normal to the layer planes. Recent experiments demonstrate that this orientational order develops over a distance of tens of layers from the prismatic boundary at which nacre formation begins. Our previous simulations of a model in which the order develops because of differential tablet growth rates (oriented tablets growing faster than misoriented ones) yield patterns of tablets that agree qualitatively and quantitatively with the experimental measurements. This paper presents an analytical treatment of this model, focusing on how the dynamical development and eventual degree of order depend on model parameters. Dynamical equations for the probability distributions governing tablet orientations are introduced whose form can be determined from symmetry considerations and for which substantial analytic progress can be made. Numerical simulations are performed to relate the parameters used in the analytic theory to those in the microscopic growth model. The analytic theory demonstrates that the dynamical mechanism is able to achieve a much higher degree of order than naive estimates would indicate.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
