I just had another sidebar for the moment. If you go to http://dabiri.caltech.edu/people/dabiri.html you can take a look at the publications area and read almost all the publications Dabiri has been involved with in pdf format. There are also some photos of his lab and equipment including this interesting bit of equipment. The 8-kPa Constant-head Transient Nozzle Vortex Generator. It's used for studies of vortex ring formation and propagation. Crazy!
Looks more like the underbelly of a veg-o-matic!
ReplyDeleteGreat that he's been able to 'self-archive' his work. It's always seemed rather ridiculous to me for journals to claim full rights to articles they're not even paying for. The surge in self-archiving and institutional repositories is one of the significant aspects of the whole OA movement, IMHO.
ReplyDelete*Laughs at Matt's comment* - it really does!
