RESUMEN
Direct ink writing (DIW) of high-temperature thin-film sensors holds significant potential for monitoring extreme environments. However, existing high-temperature inks face a trade-off between cost and performance. This study proposes a SiCN/RuO2/TiB2 composite ceramic ink. The added TiB2, after annealing in a high-temperature atmospheric environment, forms B2O3 glass, which synergizes with the SiO2 glass phase formed from the SiCN precursor to effectively encapsulate RuO2 particles. This enhances the film's density and adhesion to the substrate, preventing RuO2 volatilization at high temperatures. Additionally, the high conductivity of TiB2 improves the film's overall conductivity. Test results indicate that the SiCN/RuO2/TiB2 film exhibits high linearity from room temperature to 900 °C, high stability (resistance drift rate of 0.1%/h at 800 °C), and high conductivity (4410 S/m). As a proof of concept, temperature sensors and a heat flux sensor were successfully fabricated on a metallic hemispherical surface. Performance tests in extreme environments using high-power lasers and flame guns verified that the conformal thin-film sensor can accurately measure spherical temperature and heat flux, with a heat flux sensor response time of 53 ms. In conclusion, the SiCN/RuO2/TiB2 composite ceramic ink developed in this study offers a high-performance and cost-effective solution for high-temperature conformal thin-film sensors in extreme environments.
RESUMEN
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive cancer with distant metastasis. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that exosomes are involved in TNBC metastasis. Elucidating the mechanism underlying TNBC metastasis has important clinical significance. In the present study, exosomes were isolated from clinical specimens and TNBC cell lines. Colony formation, EdU incorporation, wound healing, and transwell assays were performed to examine TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis. Macrophage polarization was evaluated by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR analysis of polarization markers. A mouse model of subcutaneous tumor was established for assessment of tumor growth and metastasis. RNA pull-down, RIP and Co-IP assays were used for analyzing molecular interactions. Here, we proved that high abundance of circRHCG was observed in exosomes derived from TNBC patients, and increased exosomal circRHCG indicated poor prognosis. Silencing of circRHCG suppressed TNBC cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis. TNBC cell-derived exosomes promoted M2 polarization via delivering circRHCG. Exosomal circRHCG stabilized BTRC mRNA via binding FUS and naturally enhanced BTRC expression, thus promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of TFEB in THP-1 cells. In addition, knockdown of BTRC or overexpression of TFEB counteracted exosomal circRHCG-mediated facilitation of M2 polarization. Furthermore, exosomal circRHCG promoted TNBC cell proliferation and metastasis by facilitating M2 polarization. Knockdown of circRHCG reduced tumor growth, metastasis, and M2 polarization through the BTRC/TFEB axis in vivo. In summary, exosomal circRHCG promotes M2 polarization by stabilizing BTRC and promoting TFEB degradation, thereby accelerating TNBC metastasis and growth. Our study provides promising therapeutic strategies against TNBC.
RESUMEN
Monitoring high-temperature strain on curved components in harsh environments is a challenge for a wide range of applications, including in aircraft engines, gas turbines, and hypersonic vehicles. Although there are significant improvements in the preparation of high-temperature piezoresistive film on planar surfaces using 3D printing methods, there are still difficulties with poor surface compatibility and high-temperature strain testing on curved surfaces. Herein, a conformal direct ink writing (CDIW) system coupled with an error feedback regulation strategy was used to fabricate high-precision, thick films on curved surfaces. This strategy enabled the maximum amount of error in the distance between the needle and the substrate on a curved surface to be regulated from 155 to 4 µm. A conformal Pt thick-film strain gauge (CPTFSG) with a room-temperature strain coefficient of 1.7 was created on a curved metallic substrate for the first time. The resistance drift rate at 800 °C for 1 h was 1.1%, which demonstrated the excellent stability and oxidation resistance of the CPTFSG. High-temperature dynamic strain tests up to 769 °C revealed that the sensor had excellent high-temperature strain test performance. Furthermore, the CPTFSG was conformally deposited on an aero-engine turbine blade to perform in situ tensile and compressive strain testing at room temperature. High-temperature strain tests were conducted at 100 and 200 °C for 600 and 580 µÎµ, respectively, demonstrating a high steady-state response consistent with the commercial high-temperature strain transducer. In addition, steady-state strain tests at high temperatures up to 496 °C were tested. The CDIW error modulation strategy provides a highly promising approach for the high-precision fabrication of Pt thick films on complex surfaces and driving in situ sensing of high-temperature parameters on curved components toward practical applications.
RESUMEN
Thin-film sensors are essential for real-time monitoring of components in high-temperature environments. Traditional fabrication methods often involve complicated fabrication steps or require prolonged high-temperature annealing, limiting their practical applicability. Here, we present an approach using direct ink writing and laser scanning (DIW-LS) to fabricate high-temperature functional thin films. An indium tin oxide (ITO)/preceramic polymer (PP) ink suitable for DIW was developed. Under LS, the ITO/PP thin film shrank in volume. Meanwhile, the rapid pyrolysis of PP into amorphous precursor-derived ceramic (PDC) facilitated the faster sintering of ITO nanoparticles and improved the densification of the thin film. This process realized the formation of a conductive network of interconnected ITO nanoparticles. The results show that the ITO/PDC thin film exhibits excellent stability, with a drift rate of 4.7 % at 1000 °C for 25 h, and withstands temperatures up to 1250 °C in the ambient atmosphere. It is also sensitive to strain, with a maximum gauge factor of -6.0. As a proof of concept, we have used DIW-LS technology to fabricate a thin-film heat flux sensor on the surface of the turbine blade, capable of measuring heat flux densities over 1 MW/m2. This DIW-LS process provides a viable approach for the integrated, rapid, and flexible fabrication of thin film sensors for harsh environments.
RESUMEN
A high-temperature thin/thick-film strain gauge (TFSG) shows development prospects for in situ strain monitoring of hot-end components due to their small perturbations, no damage, and fast response. Direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing is an emerging and facile approach for the rapid fabrication of TFSG. However, TFSGs prepared based on 3D printing with both high thermal stability and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) over a wide temperature range remain a great challenge. Here, we report a AgPd TFSG with a glass-ceramic protective layer based on DIW. By encapsulating the AgPd sensitive layer and regulating the Pd content, the AgPd TFSG demonstrated a low TCR (191.6 ppm/°C) from 50 to 800 °C and ultrahigh stability (with a resistance drift rate of 0.14%/h at 800 °C). Meanwhile, the achieved specifications for strain detection included a strain sensing range of ±500 µÎµ, fast response time of 153 ms, gauge factor of 0.75 at 800 °C, and high durability of >8000 cyclic loading tests. The AgPd TFSG effectively monitors strain in superalloys and can be directly deposited onto cylindrical surfaces, demonstrating the scalability of the presented approach. This work provides a strategy to develop TFSGs for in situ sensing of complex curved surfaces in harsh environments.
RESUMEN
Flexible pressure sensors with high-performance show broad application prospects in health monitoring, wearable electronic devices, intelligent robot sensing, and other fields. Although flexible pressure sensors have made significant progress in sensitivity and detection range, most of them still exhibit strong nonlinearity, which leads to significant troubles in signal acquisition and thus limits their popularity in practical applications. It remains a serious challenge for the flexible pressure sensor to achieve high linearity while maintaining high sensitivity. Herein, a doped sensing membrane with a uniformly distributed Gaussian-curve-shaped micropattern array was developed using the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) process, and a flexible sensor structure with the doped film as the core was designed and constructed. The prototype sensor has a high sensitivity of 1.77 kPa-1 and a linearity of 0.99 in the full detection range of 20 Pa to 30 kPa. In addition, its excellent performance also includes fast response/recovery times (â¼25/50 ms) and long-term endurance (>10,000 cycles at 15 kPa). The prototype sensor has been successfully demonstrated in human pulse monitoring, speech recognition, and gesture recognition. The 2 × 6 sensor array can detect the spatial pressure distribution. Thus, such a microstructure shape design will open a new way to fabricate a high-linearity pressure sensor for potential applications in health monitoring, human-machine interaction, etc.

Polymer-derived ceramic (PDC)-based high-temperature thin-film sensors (HTTFSs) exhibit promising applications in the condition monitoring of critical components in aerospace. However, fabricating PDC-based HTTFS integrated with high-efficiency, high-temperature anti-oxidation, and customized patterns remains challenging. In this work, we introduce a rapid and flexible selecting laser pyrolysis combined with a direct ink writing process to print double-layer high-temperature antioxidant PDC composite thin-film thermistors under ambient conditions. The sensitive layer (SL) was directly written on an insulating substrate with excellent conductivity by laser-induced graphitization. Then, the antioxidant layer (AOL) was written on the surface of the SL to realize the integrated manufacturing of double-functional layers. Through characterization analysis, it was shown that B2O3 and SiO2 glass phases generated by the PDC composite AOL could effectively prevent oxygen intrusion. Therefore, the fabricated PDC composite thermistors exhibited a negative temperature coefficient in the temperature range from 100 to 1100 °C and high repeatability below 800 °C. Meanwhile, it has excellent high-temperature stability at 800 °C with a resistance change of only 2.4% in 2 h. Furthermore, the high-temperature electrical behavior of the thermistor was analyzed. The temperature dependence of the conductivity for this thermistor has shown an agreement with the Mott's variable range hopping mechanism. Additionally, the thermistor was fabricated on the surface of an aero-engine blade to verify its feasibility below 800 °C, showing the great potential of this work for state sensing on the surface of high-temperature components, especially for customized requirements.
RESUMEN
In situ temperature monitoring of curved high-temperature components in extreme environments is challenging for a variety of applications in fields such as aero engines and gas turbines. Recently, extrusion-based direct ink writing (DIW) has been utilized to fabricate platinum (Pt) resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). However, the current Pt RTD prepared by DIW technology suffers from a limited temperature range and poor high-temperature stability. Here, DIW technology and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-modified precursor ceramic film packaging have been used to build a Pt RTD with high-temperature resistance, small disturbance, and high stability. The results indicate that the protective layer formed by the liquid phase anchors the Pt particles and reduces the agglomeration and volatilization of the Pt sensitive layer at high temperature. Attributed to the SiCN/YSZ protective layer, the temperature resistance curve of the Pt RTD in the range of 50-800 °C has little deviation from the fitting curve, and the fitting correlation coefficient is above 0.9999. Interestingly, the Pt RTD also has high repeatability and stability. The high temperature resistance drift rate is only 0.05%/h after 100 h of long-term testing at 800 °C and can withstand butane flame up to â¼1300 °C without damage. Moreover, the Pt RTD can be conformally deposited on the outer ring of aerospace bearings by DIW technology and then realize on-site, nondestructive, and real-time monitoring of bearing temperature. The fabricated Pt RTD shows great potential for high-temperature applications, and the novel technology proposed provides a feasible pathway for temperature monitoring of aeroengine internal curved hot-end components.
RESUMEN
The in situ free carbon generated in polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) plays a crucial role in their unique microstructure and resultant properties. This study advances a new phenomenon of graphitization of PDCs. Specifically, whether in micro-/nanoscale films or millimeter-scale bulks, the surface/interface radically changes the fate of carbon and the evolution of PDC nanodomains, promotes the graphitization of carbon, and evolves a free carbon enriched layer in the near-surface/interface region. Affected by the enrichment behavior of free carbon in the near-surface/interface region, PDCs exhibit highly abnormal properties such as the skin behavior and edge effect of the current. The current intensity in the near-surface/interface region of PDCs is orders of magnitude higher than that in its interior. Ultrahigh conductivity of up to 14.47 S cm-1 is obtained under the action of the interface and surface, which is 5-8 orders of magnitude higher than that of the bulk prepared under the same conditions. Such surface/interface interactions are of interest for the regulation of free carbon and its resultant properties, which are the core of PDC applications. Finally, the first PDC thin-film strain gauge that can survive a butane flame with a high temperature of up to ≈1300 °C is fabricated.
RESUMEN
It is generally considered that non-coding RNAs do not encode proteins; however, more recently, studies have shown that lncRNAs and circRNAs have ORFs which are regions that code for peptides/protein. On account of the lack of 5'cap structure, translation of circRNAs is driven by IRESs, m6A modification or through rolling amplification. An increasing body of evidence have revealed different functions and mechanisms of ncRNA-encoded peptides/proteins in cancers, including regulation of signal transduction (Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, AKT-related signaling, MAPK signaling and other signaling), cellular metabolism (Glucose metabolism and Lipid metabolism), protein stability, transcriptional regulation, posttranscriptional regulation (regulation of RNA stability, mRNA splicing and translation initiation). In addition, we conclude the existing detection technologies and the potential of clinical applications in cancer therapy.
RESUMEN
The in-situ strain/stress detection of hot components in harsh environments remains a challenging task. In this study, ZrB2/SiCN thin-film strain gauges were fabricated on alumina substrates by direct writing. The effects of ZrB2 content on the electrical conductivity and strain sensitivity of ZrB2/SiCN composites were investigated, and based on these, thin film strain gauges with high electrical conductivity (1.71 S/cm) and a gauge factor of 4.8 were prepared. ZrB2/SiCN thin-film strain gauges exhibit excellent static, cyclic strain responses and resistance stability at room temperature. In order to verify the high temperature performance of the ZrB2/SiCN thin-film strain gauges, the temperature-resistance characteristic curves test, high temperature resistance stability test and cyclic strain test were conducted from 25 °C to 600 °C. ZrB2/SiCN thin-film strain gauges exhibit good resistance repeatability and stability, and highly sensitive strain response, from 25 °C to 600 °C. Therefore, ZrB2/SiCN thin-film strain gauges provide an effective approach for the measurement of in-situ strain of hot components in harsh environments.
RESUMEN
This paper investigates the feasibility and performance of the fabrication of platinum high-temperature thin-film strain sensors on nickel-based alloy substrates by additive manufacturing. The insulating layer was made of a dielectric paste by screen printing process. A 1.8-micron-thick platinum film was deposited directly on the insulating layer. The four-wire resistance measurement method was used to eliminate the contact resistance of the solder joints. Comprehensive morphological and electrical characterization of the platinum thin-film strain gauge was carried out, and good static and dynamic strain responses were obtained, which confirmed that the strain gauge was suitable for in situ strain monitoring of high-temperature complex components.
RESUMEN
Polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) is considered an excellent sensing material for harsh environments such as aero-engines and nuclear reactors. However, there are many inherent limitations not only in pure PDC but also in its common fabrication method by furnace thermolysis. Therefore, this study proposes a novel method of rapid in situ fabrication of PDC composite thin-film sensors by laser pyrolysis. Using this method with different fillers, a sensitive PDC composite film layer with high-quality graphite can be obtained quickly, which is more flexible and efficient compared to the traditional furnace thermolysis. Furthermore, this study analyzes the reaction differences between laser pyrolysis and furnace thermolysis. The laser pyrolysis method principally produces ß-SiC and enhances the graphitization of amorphous carbon, while the degree of graphitization by furnace thermolysis is low. In addition, it is capable of rapidly preparing an insulating PDC composite film, which still has a resistance of 5 MΩ at 600 °C. As a proof of this method, the PDC composite thin-film strain sensors are fabricated in situ on nickel alloys and aluminum oxide substrates, respectively. The sensor fabricated on the nickel alloy with a high gauge factor of over 100 can be used in high-temperature environments below 350 °C without the protection of an oxidation-resistant coating. In this way, the approach pioneers the in situ laser fabrication of functional PDC films for sensors, and it has great potential for the in situ sensing of complex curved surfaces in harsh environments.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to contribute to cisplatin resistance in several cancers; however, the role of lncRNA LINC01116 in cisplatin resistance remains unknown in non-small-cell lung cancer. This study aimed to examine the contribution of LINC01116 to cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells were generated by treatment with cisplatin by dose escalation. LINC01116 expression was compared between A549 and A549/DDP cells, and between cisplatin-resistant and non-resistant LAD specimens. The cell viability, colony formation, proliferation, migration and invasion were measured using MTT and Transwell assays, and cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected using flow cytometry. The expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin was quantified. LAD xenografts were modeled in nude mice to investigate the role of LINC01116 on the resistance of LAD to cisplatin. RESULTS: MTT assay measured the IC50 values of 13.49 ± 1.62 and 3.52 ± 1.33 µg/mL for A549/DDP and A549 cells, respectively. LINC01116 was overexpressed in cisplatin-resistant LAD specimens and A549/DDP cells (P < 0.05). Knockdown of LINC01116 inhibited cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion, promoted apoptosis and enhanced the sensitivity to cisplatin in A549/DDP cells, while LINC01116 overexpression promoted cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion, inhibited apoptosis and reduced the sensitivity to cisplatin in A549 cells. LINC01116 knockdown resulted in a 2.1-fold increase in E-cadherin expression and a 56% reduction in Vimentin expression in A549/DDP cells, and LINC01116 overexpression resulted in a 45% reduction in E-cadherin expression and a 1.82-fold increase in Vimentin expression in A549 cells. CONCLUSION: Dysregulation of lncRNA LINC01116 expression results in resistance of LAD to cisplatin via the EMT process. Our findings support the oncogenic role of LINC01116 to promote the development of cisplatin resistance in LAD, and LINC01116 may be a novel predictor of poor response to cisplatin.
RESUMEN
Resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib, has greatly affected clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate tumorigenesis and cancer progression, but their contributions to NSCLC gefitinib resistance remain poorly understood. In this study, by analyzing the differentially expressed lncRNAs in gefitinib-resistant cells and gefitinib-sensitive cells in the National Institute of Health GEO dataset, we found that lncRNA CASC9 expression was upregulated, and this was also verified in resistant tissues. Gain and loss of function studies showed that CASC9 inhibition restored gefitinib sensitivity both in vitro and in vivo, whereas CASC9 overexpression promoted gefitinib resistance. Mechanistically, CASC9 repressed the tumor suppressor DUSP1 by recruiting histone methyltransferase EZH2, thereby increasing the resistance to gefitinib. Furthermore, ectopic expression of DUSP1 increased gefitinib sensitivity by inactivating the ERK pathway. Our results highlight the essential role of CASC9 in gefitinib resistance, suggesting that the CASC9/EZH2/DUSP1 axis might be a novel target for overcoming EGFR-TKI resistance in NSCLC.

Increasing studies on malignant tumors have proposed a new competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory mechanism that mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA interact with each other. However, the mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA associated ceRNA network in gastric cancer remains unknown. We used online bioinformatic softwares to predict the hub genes and their upstream miRNAs and lncRNAs in gastric cancer, and then performed survival analyses. After collecting gastric cancer tissue samples and performing PCR experiments, the correlations among predicted mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA were further verified. A total of 101 up-regulated significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 219 down-regulated significant DEGs in gastric cancer were confirmed. Functional enrichment analyses of these significant DEGs indicated that they were potentially enriched in some pathways involved in tumor malignant biological processes or metabolism. Then, we identified 20 hub genes in the PPI networks. Combined with expression and survival analyses, 8 up-regulated genes and 1 down-regulated gene were identified as central genes and acted as important prognostic roles in gastric cancer. 17 miRNAs were confirmed that might potentially regulate the expressions of these central genes. But only 8 out of them indicated better outcome in gastric cancer. Further, 79 lncRNAs were predicted that might have the potence to combine with the 8 central miRNAs. The lncRNA H19 was eventually defined as a central lncRNA by survival analyses. Stimultaneously, we found that there were certain interactions among lncRNA, miRNA and mRNAs in 50 gastric cancer tissues by qRT-PCR. Moreover, the high expression of H19 is associated with advanced TNM stage, primary tumor and lymph nodes, indicating a poor prognosis. In summary, we uncovered the prognostic value of COL3A1/FBN1/COL5A2/SPARC-mir-29a-3p-H19 ceRNA network in gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
CircRNAs are a novel class of RNA molecules with a unique closed continuous loop structure. CircRNAs are abundant in eukaryotic cells, have unique stability and tissue specificity, and can play a biological regulatory role at various levels, such as transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Numerous studies have indicated that circRNAs serve a crucial purpose in cancer biology. CircRNAs regulate tumor behavioral phenotypes such as proliferation and migration through various molecular mechanisms, such as miRNA sponging, transcriptional regulation, and protein interaction. Recently, several reports have demonstrated that they are also deeply involved in resistance to anticancer drugs, from traditional chemotherapeutic drugs to targeted and immunotherapeutic drugs. This review is the first to summarize the latest research on circRNAs in anticancer drug resistance based on drug classification and to discuss their potential clinical applications.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer globally and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Gefitinib has been widely used for treating advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, acquired resistance usually develops, although we still know little about the mechanism underlying this. In the present study, we found that the lncRNA UCA1 was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells with acquired gefitinib resistance, indicating the special role of UCA1 in gefitinib resistance. Knockdown of UCA1 promoted the sensitivity to gefitinib both in vitro and in vivo by suppressing cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Moreover, UCA1 could interact with EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) to epigenetically reduce the expression of CDKN1A. Taking the obtained findings together, our study suggests that UCA1 is important for NSCLC to develop gefitinib resistance, and is a potential biomarker for gefitinib resistance and a therapeutic target for advanced NSCLC.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate tumorigenesis and cancer progression, but their contributions to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastasis remain poorly understood. Our previous and other studies have revealed the involvement of upregulated LINC01234 in regulating gastric cancer and colon cancer cells proliferation, and we aimed to investigate whether LINC01234 overexpression also contribute to cancer cells metastasis in this study. METHODS: We collect the NSCLC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues and analyzed expression levels of LINC01234 by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. LINC01234 were knocked down by using siRNAs or shRNAs, and overexpressed by transfection with overexpression vector; RNA levels of miRNA were downregulated or upregulated with inhibitors or mimics. Transwell assays were used to evaluate cell migration and invasive ability; in vivo metastasis experiments were performed to investigate the effect of LINC01234 on NSCLC cells metastasis. Luciferase reporter, RIP, and ChIP assays were used to determine the regulation of LINC01234 on its targets. RESULTS: LINC01234 expression is increased in NSCLC tissues, and its upregulation is associated with metastasis and shorter survival in NSCLC. Downregulation of LINC01234 impairs cell migration and invasion in vitro, and inhibits cells metastasis in vivo by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for the miR-340-5p and miR-27b-3p. LINC01234 also interacts with the RNA-binding proteins LSD1 and EZH2, leading to histone modification and transcriptional repression of the anti-proliferative genes BTG2. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our findings identify two oncogenic regulatory axes in NSCLC centering on LINC01234: one involving miR-340-5p/miR-27b-3p in the cytoplasm and the second involving EZH2, LSD1, and BTG2 in the nucleus. Our study indicates that these genes may be targeted to reduce or prevent NSCLC metastasis.

During the last decades, the ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) received much attention because of its potential capabilities, such as large displacement and flexible bending actuation. In this paper, a biomimetic flapping air vehicle was proposed by combining the superiority of ionic polymer metal composite with the bionic beetle flapping principle. The blocking force was compared between casted IPMC and IPMC. The flapping state of the wing was investigated and the maximum displacement and flapping angle were measured. The flapping displacement under different voltage and frequency was tested. The flapping displacement of the wing and the support reaction force were measured under different frequency by experiments. The experimental results indicate that the high voltage and low frequency would get large flapping displacement.
