...generated by the motion of the robotic fly. By running the tests with different types of wings and different trajectories, Wood hopes to correlate the movements and forces with the design space. “Our goals are to uncover patterns in the design space which lead to a particular performance and come up with simplified models of the fluid mechanics interactions, and to come up with design rules,” Wood said. Wood’s research is of interest to the Air Force as well as other Department of Defense agencies because an understanding of aeroelasticity could...
Hawaii's first Constitutional Convention was organized in 1968 to correct problems with state legislative voting districts - and ended up giving public workers the right to strike. Ten years later, the islands' second ConCon began with no particular agenda, just a feeling in the post-Watergate era that Hawaii's government needed to be more accountable to its people.

...Fencing is a blend of athleticism and strategy,” said Olympic silver medalist and fencing co-captain Emily Cross. “Intelligence and strength are of equal importance.

...Harvard tradition of postering—an early morning marathon of sorts that consists of running from one flat surface to another, sheaves of paper in hand. As members of a scholarly community, we all benefit from these posters—regardless of whether we agree with a particular student group’s aims. Thus, the news that the posters of Harvard Right to Life (HRL) were being subjected to “serious and persistent instances of vandalism” was cause for concern. We commend the College administration for its timely reaction—an e-mail...
...account, such as those available through Human Resources or the Association of Black Faculty, Administrators, and Fellows. Next, a sponsor needs to solicit advice from numerous associate, provisional, and otherwise-affiliated deans. Such consultations serve the dual purpose of providing feedback and potentially garnering support for a proposal. In particular, the deans of the College and the Faculty of Arts and Science (FAS) ought to be consulted, along with some of the active members of the faculty. In my opinion, there seem to be between 50-70 such individuals. Former deans and faculty heavyweights often maintain expertise and influence after...
