2021 journal article

Aerodynamic Tethered Sails for Scientific Balloon Trajectory Control: Small-Scale Experimental Demonstration

JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT, 58(5), 1010–1021.

By: C. Yoder n, S. Agrawal  n, A. Motes  n & A. Mazzoleni n

author keywords: Rudder; Control Systems; Aerodynamic Coefficients; High Altitude Balloon; Ground Station; Damping Coefficient; Earth; Aerodynamic Angle; Newton's Second Law; Young's Modulus
TL;DR: High-altitude scientific balloons are often prohibited from flying due to the risk associated with flying over populated areas, but one solution to this problem is the use of a trajectory control system. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Modelling and performance analysis of a tether and sail-based trajectory control system for extra-terrestrial scientific balloon missions

ACTA ASTRONAUTICA, 160, 527–537.

By: C. Yoder n, T. Gemmer n & A. Mazzoleni n

author keywords: Balloon; Sail; Venus; Titan; Latitude; Control
TL;DR: The benefits of being able to generate guiding velocities via a sail system by viewing the trajectories taken by planetary balloon systems employing such a system are demonstrated. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Spotted Gar and the Evolution of Innate Immune Receptors

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 328(7), 666–684.

By: D. Wcisel n, T. Ota *, G. Litman* & J. Yoder n 

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Animals; Biological Evolution; Fishes / genetics; Fishes / immunology; Gene Expression Regulation / immunology; Immunity, Innate / genetics; Immunity, Innate / physiology
TL;DR: It appears that both the total genome duplication and different patterns of genetic selection have influenced the derivation and stabilization of innate immune genes in a substantial manner during the course of vertebrate evolution. (via Semantic Scholar)
