Welcome to the second edition of the International Journal for Researcher Development. In this issue, we are pleased to include an in-depth study on the professionality of researchers per se. In her article, ‘Developing...
Landing-gear noise is an increasing issue for transport aircraft. A key determinant of the phenomenon is the surface pressure field. Previous studies have described this field when the oncoming flow is perfectly aligned...
Researchers previously reporting equatorial and monk sakis (Pithecia aequatorialis and P. monachus) occurring sympatrically north of the Amazon River in Peru raised the question of whether the two species were syntopic or...
The Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary system WR140 is a close (0.9-16.7 mas; ref. 1) binary star consisting of an O5 primary and WC7 companion2 and is known as the archetype of episodic dust-producing WRs. Dust in WR binaries is known to...
Thin films of Co2MnSi have been grown on a-plane sapphire substrates from three elemental targets by do magnetron cosputtering. These films are single phase, have a strong (110) texture, and a, saturation magnetization of...
Vertical-axis wind turbines are an attractive option for small-scale wind-power installations. In this application, noise is crucially important. To investigate the problem, measurements taken from a model-scale turbine in a...
Landing-gear noise is an increasing issue for transport aircraft. A key determinant of the phenomenon is the surface pressure field. Previous studies have described this field when the oncoming flow is perfectly aligned with the...
This study investigates the evaporation of sessile pure water and nanosuspension drops on viscoelastic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. We varied the viscoelasticity of the PDMS films by controlling the curing ratio and...
