From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 203, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn Sepioteuthis lessoniana, the oval squid, ontogenetic changes in the kinematics of the mantle during escape-jet locomotion imply a decline in the relative mass flux of the escape jet and may affect the peak...

From:Science (Vol. 228) Peer-ReviewedA characteristic of the human motor system is its high degree of versatility, which far surpasses that of other animals, even though particular types of movements can be carried out in individual species with a much...

From:Science (Vol. 229) Peer-ReviewedPatterned rhythmic activity can be generated in neuronal circuis in two ways, by including endogenously active neurons in the circuit (endogenous oscillators) or by making specific synaptic connections between neurons...

From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 230, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAbstract. Across various modes of locomotion, body size and speed are often correlated both between and within species. Among the gastropods, however, current data are minimal for interspecific and intraspecific scaling...

From:Mathematical Problems in EngineeringPeer-ReviewedWe propose a system that can recognize daily human activities with a Kinect- style depth camera. Our system utilizes a set of view-invariant features and the hidden state conditional random field (HCRF) model to...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Fabio Giardina *, Fumiya Iida Introduction Rolling wheels are designed to operate in flat environments and are optimised for this specific domain. The economic costs for transportation drive the design...

From:Ornis Fennica (Vol. 91, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSome of the known major bottlenecks on European flyways are yet insufficiently explored and require more intensive study. On the basis of raptor counts on the Vistula Spit (southern Baltic coast, Poland), from 15...

From:Marine Biology (Vol. 159, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedRegular sea urchins, which have pentaradial symmetry, have been believed to show no preference in which part of the body forward they proceed with. Through use of circular statistics, we show that the regular sea urchin...

From:Journal of Biological Rhythms (Vol. 22, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAbstract The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster shows a bimodal circadian locomotor rhythm with peaks at lights-on and before lights-off, which are regulated by multiple clocks in the brain. Even under light-dark cycles,...
-
From:Journal of Marine BiologyPeer-ReviewedThe best swimmers have a streamlined shape that ensures an attached flow pattern and a laminar boundary layer at rather large values of the Reynolds number. Simple expressions may be obtained for the volumetric drag...
-
From:Nature (Vol. 575, Issue 7783) Peer-ReviewedApproximately 11.6-million-year-old fossils reveal an ape with arms suited to hanging in trees but human-like legs, suggesting a form of locomotion that might push back the timeline for when walking on two feet evolved....
-
From:The Literary Review (Vol. 61, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedExperience is always nearby. The world is the world as far as we can see it. There is a word for the distance a person can walk in a day, but it was passed down long ago and needs to be remembered. Need is defined by...
-
From:BMC Research Notes (Vol. 4) Peer-ReviewedBackground Although physical activity recommendations for public health have focused on locomotive activity such as walking and running, it is uncertain how much these activities contribute to overall physical...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAnts are able to climb effortlessly on vertical and inverted smooth surfaces. When climbing, their feet touch the substrate not only with their pretarsal adhesive pads but also with dense arrays of fine hairs on the...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedCannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in the world. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ([DELTA]9-THC) is the main psychoactive component of cannabis and its effects have been well-studied. However, cannabis contains...
