High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vulcanair SF.600 Canguro (en: "Kangaroo") was a feederliner developed in Italy in the late 1970s. Despite a number of attempts to put the aircraft into series production, only a small number were ever built. The Canguro was a high-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration with a fuselage of rectangular cross-section and a high-set tail. The tricycle undercarriage was not retractable, and its main units were carried on sponsons on the fuselage sides. SIAI Marchetti provided funding towards the construction of the prototype, and constructed this aircraft at the former Aviamilano plant. After flight testing proved positive, the type was put on sale, but failed to attract buyers...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vulcan, launched in 1819, was the first all iron-hulled vessel (boat) to be built. It was designed as a horse-drawn passenger barge for use on the Scottish canals..In 1816, the Forth and Clyde Canal Company, which had earlier successfully adapted new technology to shipbuilding with the Charlotte Dundas, authorized the development of an all-iron ship, and they quickly settled upon building a canal barge. In 1818, Thomas Wilson (1781–1873), was hired as the shipwright. The barge was to be 20 meters (66.5 ft.) long and narrow enough for the canal. The design called for iron sectionals to be riveted together with covering plates. Two blacksmiths were hired to construct the parts....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vulcan M-11-9 is a semi-automatic, closed bolt pistol manufactured by Vulcan Armament.The M-11-9 is a knockoff of the Ingram M-11 series which is an open bolt, fully-automatic machine pistol. While the Ingram uses proprietary magazines, the Vulcan used readily available surplus 32 round sten magazines. Utilizing the 9mm Luger cartridge, it is a civilian legal version of the military weapon. The pistol has had a somewhat rocky start with severe quality control issues on early production guns. Early M-11-9's had feeding issues that were eventually traced to poor quality metal used in the feed ramp. There were also issues of failure-to-fire and UFAF (unintentional full-auto fire) that were...

The overarching goal of the research presented herein is to establish the key behavior mechanisms and seismic vulnerabilities of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls. Currently, there are knowledge gaps related to partially grouted masonry shear walls, regarding their failure mechanisms, applicability of current code provisions to PG walls, and influence of bidirectional loading on the behavior of such walls. To bridge these gaps a research program that integrated both experimental and analytical approaches was conducted and reported in this book. Results from this study indicated that out-of-plane drifts corresponding to the collapse prevention limit state may reduce the in-plane capacity of PG walls by more than 20%. Although the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computer security, the term vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's Information Assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw[1] . To be vulnerable, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness. In this frame, vulnerability is also known as the attack surface. A security risk may be classified as a vulnerability. A vulnerability with one or more known instances of working and fully-implemented attacks is classified as an exploit. The window of vulnerability is the time from when...

Developments of the Vultee V-1 single engined airliner, the V-11 and V-12 were purchased by several nation's armed forces, including China, who used them in combat against Japanese forces in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The United States Army Air Corps purchased small numbers of the V-11 as the Vultee YA-19 in the years before World War II, testing them to gather data to compare against twin engine light attack planes.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The XP-54 was an American prototype fighter built by the Vultee Aircraft Company.Vultee had submitted a proposal in response to a U.S. Army Air Corps request for an unusual configuration. The Vultee design won the competition, beating the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender and the Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet. Vultee designated it Model 84, a descendant of their earlier Model 78. After completing preliminary engineering and wind tunnel tests, a contract for a prototype was awarded on 8 January 1941. A second prototype was ordered on 17 March 1942. Although it appeared to be a radical design, its actual performance was lackluster and the project was subsequently canceled. Данное издание не...

The air spring allows riders to reach great heights without the requirement of a heavy spring or elastomeric bands, which degrade over time. The Vurtego weighs under 11 pounds(5 kg) yet is capable of producing 1500 pounds-force (8,000 newtons) of thrust. The Vurtego allows riders to propel themselves as high as 7'7" (2.3 m).

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system.VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result...

Using VxInsight, Kim et al. were able to cluster genes into "mounts" with coherent functions, and were also able to make novel observations, such as the finding that distinct classes of transposons (such as Tc3 and Mariner transposons) appear to be differentially regulated during development....
