Efficient kinematics for jet-propelled swimming
We use computer simulations and an analytical model to study the relationship between kinematics and performance in jet-propelled jellyfish swimming. We prescribe different power-law kinematics for the bell contraction and expansion, and identify kinematics that yield high swimming speeds and/or high efficiency. In the simulations, high efficiency is found when the bell radius is a nearly linea...
متن کاملFoot infections in swimming baths.
A 10% random sample of all bathers at a public swimming bath were examined for tinea pedis and verruca.The overall incidence of tinea pedis was 8.5% and of verruca 4.8%. The incidence of tinea pedis in 205 male adults was 21.5%, in 288 boys 6.3%, in 60 adult females 3.3%, and in 220 girls 0.9%. The incidence of verruca in juveniles ranged from 4.2% in boys to 10.5% in girls.It was clear that bo...
متن کاملSwimming upstream: self-propelled nanodimer motors in a flow†
The dynamics of chemically-powered self-propelled nanodimer motors in a fluid flow are investigated. The dimer motors are confined to move in a square channel within which a Poiseuille-like fluid flow exists. The flow direction is opposite to that of the nanomotor’s directed motion. Simulations of the dynamics are carried out using mesoscopic hybrid molecular dynamics/multiparticle collision dy...
متن کاملPelvic and hindlimb myology of the basal Archosaur Poposaurus gracilis (Archosauria: Poposauroidea).
The discovery of a largely complete and well preserved specimen of Poposaurus gracilis has provided the opportunity to generate the first phylogenetically based reconstruction of pelvic and hindlimb musculature of an extinct nondinosaurian archosaur. As in dinosaurs, multiple lineages of basal archosaurs convergently evolved parasagittally erect limbs. However, in contrast to the laterally proj...
متن کاملComparative myology of the forelimb of squirrels (Sciuridae).
The musculature of the shoulder, arm, and forearm was studied in 19 genera of squirrels, representing the Pteromyinae (flying squirrels) and all 7 tribes of the Sciurinae (tree and ground squirrels). The objective was to locate derived anatomical features of functional or phylogenetic significance and to determine how much morphological variation underlies the diverse locomotor behavior of squi...
