It shows that the effect of combinational sweep and lean not only reduces the size of the transonic regions on the blade suction surface near the leading edge but also decreases the leakage loss, thus resulting in lower aerodynamic losses in hub region.
The deflection of the leading edge flap also increases the curvature of the front part of the wing, which would promote the separation of the flow, similar to what has been suggested as the function of the alula in landing steppe eagles (Carruthers et al., 2007), and facilitates the generation of the leading edge vortex used at low speeds (see above).
The effective control position for various leading edges was also studied for developing optimal control strategies for practical engineering applications.
Deficiency of Cdc42, which is localized to the leading edge in polarized neutrophils, also leads to chemotaxis defects.
Immunolabeling of pY on the leading edge of spermatozoa has also been observed (Zhao Y. and Miao L., unpublished observations), which reinforces the notion that phosphorylation plays a role in A. suum spermatogenesis/spermiogenesis.
While Brownian ratchet models were already suggested many years ago to explain the force production of single-polymerizing filaments (see also "leading edge protrusion") [ 407], they could not simply be adapted to protrusive actin networks showing a very different force-dependent behavior [ 397, 423, 424].
Meanwhile, the importance analysis of a stiffening rib of the wing leading edge in a certain aircraft also verifies its good engineering applicability.
By linearizing around the leading edge of the wave, they also showed how the minimal wave speed of the pulsating front could be estimated by finding solutions of a corresponding Hill equation [12].
The cells develop apico-basal polarity and cell cell adhesion as an epithelial tissue, but cells at leading edge of the group are also capable of migration.
The observation of enriched RTK and PLC activities at the leading edge of migrating cells was also compatible with the accumulation of local Ca2+ pulses in the cell front [ 25].
