Examines the life and career of the talented jazz composer, bandleader, and pianist, from his childhood in Washington, D.C., through his battle against racism, to his influence on the world of jazz.
This book introduces the topics most relevant to autonomously flying flapping wing robots: flapping-wing design, aerodynamics, and artificial intelligence. Readers can explore these topics in the context of the "Delfly", a flapping wing robot designed at Delft University in The Netherlands. How are tiny fruit flies able to lift their weight, avoid obstacles and predators, and find food or shelter? The first step in emulating this is the creation of a micro flapping wing robot that flies by itself. The challenges are considerable: the design and aerodynamics of flapping wings are still active areas of scientific research, whilst artificial intelligence is subject to extreme limitations derivi...

More than a discography, this book compiles the complete recorded music of Duke Ellington and his sidemen, including studio recordings, movie soundtracks, concerts, dance dates, radio broadcasts, telecasts, and private recordings, creating an easy to use reference source for Jazz collectors and scholars.
This text arose out of the SEB Symposium on Biological Fluid Dynamics held in 1994 at the University of Leeds with 120 participants. A major aim of the symposium was the promotion of increased contact and interaction between different groups of scientists within the general area of biomechanics. It sought to bring together zoologists (and botanists) with their emphasis on comparative aspects and on external biological fluid dynamics (swimming, flying, feeding etc.), and medical scientists, physiologists and bio-engineers with their emphasis on humans and on internal fluid dynamics (blood flow, breathing etc.). The scientists invited to the symposium included both biologists and theoretical and experimental fluid dynamicists.
