TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Gurney e aps on two-dimensional airfoils, three-dimensional wings, and a ree ection plane model were investigated, and the results showed that the Gurny e ap improved the maximum lift coefe cient compared to the baseline clean cone guration.
Abstract: The effect of Gurney e aps on two-dimensional airfoils, three-dimensional wings, and a ree ection plane model were investigated. There have been a number of studies on Gurney e aps in recent years, but these studies have been limited to two-dimensional airfoil sections. A comprehensive investigation on the effect of Gurney e aps for a wide range of cone gurations and test conditions was conducted at Wichita State University. A symmetric NACA 0011 and a cambered GA (W)-2 airfoil were used during the single-element airfoil part of this investigation. The GA (W)-2 airfoil was also used during the two-element airfoil study with a 25% chord slotted e ap dee ected at 10, 20, and 30 deg. Straight and tapered ree ection plane wings with natural laminar e ow (NLF) airfoil sections were tested for the three-dimensional wing part of this investigation. A fuselage and engine were attached to the tapered NLF wing for the ree ection plane model investigation. In all cases the Gurney e ap improved the maximum lift coefe cient compared to the baseline clean cone guration. However, there was a drag penalty associated with this lift increase.

TL;DR: To improve problem recognition and reduce the incidence of escalation, practicing managers should implement modern project management practices that can help to identify and highlight potential problems while guarding against these two key cognitive biases that promote the behavior.
Abstract: Escalation of commitment to a failing course of action is an enduring problem that remains central to the study of managerial behavior. Prior research suggests that escalation behavior results when decision makers choose to ignore negative feedback concerning the viability of a previously chosen course of action. Previous work has also suggested that certain cognitive biases might promote escalation behavior, but there has been little attempt to explore how biases other than framing affect escalation. In this article, we explore the extent to which decision makers actually perceive negative feedback as indicative of a problem and how this influences their decision to escalate. Although problem recognition and cognitive biases have been intensively studied individually, little is known about their effect on escalation behavior. In this research, we construct and test an escalation decision model that incorporates both problem recognition and two cognitive biases: selective perception and illusion of control. Our results revealed a significant inverse relationship between problem recognition and escalation. Furthermore, selective perception and illusion of control were found to significantly affect both problem recognition and escalation. The implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed. To improve problem recognition and reduce the incidence of escalation, practicing managers should implement modern project management practices that can help to identify and highlight potential problems while guarding against these two key cognitive biases that promote the behavior.

TL;DR: The results show the applicability of MIMO techniques in such sensor networks with judicious system design, as well as the dependence of energy efficiency on coherence time of the fading process and communications distance.
Abstract: Energy efficiency of MIMO techniques in wireless sensor networks is analyzed. Assuming a cooperative sensor network, the energy consumption of MIMO-based wireless sensor networks is compared with conventional SISO sensor networks. The dependence of energy efficiency on coherence time of the fading process and communications distance is considered. Our results show the applicability of MIMO techniques in such sensor networks with judicious system design.
