Pitch and Yaw Control of Tailless Flapping Wing MAVs by Implementing Wing Root Angle Deflection
No full textStudy was conducted on the effect of wing root angle deflection to pave the way for the implementation of tailless flight control on a hovering flapping wing platform. Hypotheses of how the wing root deflection in the sagittal direction could help generate pitching and yawing moments are presented and investigated. The investigation was completed using a four bar linkage crank-rocker flapping mechanism. The flapping frequencies are from 13Hz to 18Hz, and the sagittal deflection angle ranged between -6.7º to 7º. Study shows that tailless pitch and yaw control is feasible but the nonlinearities could lead to huge challenge on implementation. The deflection angle also compromises lift
The role of cognitive bias in psychological distress variability among Chinese cancer survivors
No full textThis thesis addresses three primary objectives: (1) to examine the role of attentional bias and interpretative bias in differentiating Chinese breast cancer (BC) survivors reporting persistent high distress from those reporting low-stable distress; (2) using longitudinal data to map distinct trajectories of Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) over 12 months among Chinese patients with BC or colorectal cancer (CRC); (3) and to examine if metacognition, indirectly via attentional bias, intrusive thoughts and avoidance (hallmarks of cognitive attentional syndrome) predicted FCR trajectory membership.
Two independent studies were conducted among Chinese cancer survivors. Study I cross-sectionally assessed 140 BC survivors identified in an ongoing longitudinal study of distress trajectories as featuring low-stable (n= 73) or persistent high (n= 67) distress. A group of healthy controls (n= 150) was additionally included as a reference group. Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) evaluating psychological distress, two modified dot-probe tasks assessing attentional bias and an ambiguous cues task assessing interpretative bias for threat-related vs neutral information. Four-way repeated measure of analyses of variance and one-way analyses of variance were used to compare attentional bias and interpretative bias scores between groups respectively (Objective 1). Study II, a longitudinal study, assessed 270 BC (n=163) or CRC (n=107) patients at 8-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, and 12-months post-surgery on a measure of FCR (FCRI-SF). Metacognition (MCQ-30), intrusive and avoidant thoughts (CIES-R) and attentional bias (dot-probe tasks) were assessed at baseline. Latent growth mixture modelling identified FCR trajectories (Objective 2). Fully-adjusted Multinomial Logistic Regression identified whether direct and indirect effects of metacognition through CAS determined FCR trajectory membership (Objective 3).
In Study I, there was no significant difference in scores of attentional bias and interpretative bias for negatively-valenced or cancer-related information in distress status in the BC sample. A weak, but significant time-course effect in attention bias for negatively-valenced or cancer-related information was observed. Survivors with persistent distress exhibited an attentional allocation away from the stimulus under supraliminal conditions. Survivors with persistent distress and healthy controls with high distress did not differ in scores of attentional bias and interpretative bias for threat-related stimuli. In Study II, three distinct FCR trajectories were identified, namely, Low-stable (62.4%), High-stable (29.2%) and Recovery (8.3%). Compared with Low-stable group, Recovery FCR patients held greater Negative beliefs about worry and High-stable FCR patients reported poorer Cognitive confidence. The effect of Negative beliefs about worry was partially mediated by avoidance and fully mediated by intrusive thoughts. Attentional bias did not predict FCR trajectories.
BC survivors with persistent distress may use avoidant coping style to cope with cancer diagnosis, as reflected in controlled attentional bias for threat-related information. However, the role of such attentional bias in the individual variation in FCR became less important, when intrusive and avoidant thoughts, and a higher-level factor metacognition were taken into account. Modifying metacognitive knowledge to interrupt maladaptive cognitive processing including intrusion and avoidance may be an effective therapeutic intervention for patients at risk of persistent FCR/distress.published_or_final_versionPublic HealthDoctoralDoctor of Philosoph

Design, Fabrication, and Performance Test of a Hovering-Based Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle Capable of Sustained and Controlled Flight
No full textWe present our insect-based hovering Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW-MAV) capable of sustained flight and control. The proposed design combines two fixed wings and two flapping wings to take advantage of the double clap-and-ling effects at the end of each half-stroke during one flapping cycle for high thrust production, and utilizes the fixed wings as the stabilizing surfaces and lift enhancement mechanism in forward flight. The FW-MAV has a wing span of 22 cm from wing tip-to-wing tip, weighs about 14.6 grams with onboard integration of radio control system including a radio receiver, an electronic speed control (ESC) for brushless motor, two servos for attitude flight controls of pitch and yaw, and a single cell lithium polymer (LiPo) battery (3.7 V). Moreover, passive wing rotation is utilized to simplify the design. Powered by the single cell LiPo battery, the FW-MAV can produce enough vertical thrust of 14.76 grams for lift-off at 10 Hz, and flap at maximum frequency of 12.4 Hz with average vertical thrust of about 24 grams. Experimental results show that the effect of wing clap significantly enhances thrust generation of about 44.82% when compared to the case without clap-and-fling effect, and the thrust-to-power ratio of the FW-MAV is about 3.93. Finally, free flight tests in terms of vertical take-off, hovering, and manual attitude control flight have been conducted to verify the flight performance of the insectinspired FW-MAV. Onboard equipped with a 70 mAh LiPo battery, the FW-MAV can demonstrate a sustained and controlled flight of about three minutes
