Cardiographic observations on a fin-back whale.
FOR MANY years there has been considerable interest in recording the cardiograph of a whale. The underlying reasons for such a project are perhaps equally divided between the desire to complete a scientific comparative cardiology and the thrill of recording the heartbeat of the largest mammal. Previous partial success has been reported by King, Jenks and White, who, in 1953, obtained single lea...
متن کاملNew CMT-SCTP with increased speed of data transmission
Communication protocols issues are one of the effective factors in communicated networks performance. One of challenging problem in CMT-SCTP which sends data by multipath concurrently is Receive Buffer Blocking. This problem has important role in data transmission speed in computer networks. In this paper, we propose a control method based on fuzzy logic so that can solve Receive Buffer Blockin...
متن کاملSpeed-dependent intrinsic caudal fin muscle recruitment during steady swimming in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus.
There are approximately 50 muscles that control tail fin shape in most teleost fishes, and although myotomal muscle function has been extensively studied, little work has been done on the intrinsic musculature that controls and shapes the tail. In this study we measured electrical activity in intrinsic tail musculature to determine if these muscles are active during steady rectilinear locomotio...
متن کاملBig gulps require high drag for fin whale lunge feeding
Fin whales Balaenoptera physalus exhibit one of the most extreme feeding methods among aquatic vertebrates. Fin whales, and other rorquals (Balaenopteridae), lunge with their mouth fully agape, thereby generating dynamic pressure to stretch their mouth around a large volume of prey-laden water, which is then filtered by racks of baleen. Despite their large body size, fin whales appear to be lim...
متن کاملHydrodynamic properties of fin whale flippers predict maximum rolling performance.
Maneuverability is one of the most important and least understood aspects of animal locomotion. The hydrofoil-like flippers of cetaceans are thought to function as control surfaces that effect maneuvers, but quantitative tests of this hypothesis have been lacking. Here, we constructed a simple hydrodynamic model to predict the longitudinal-axis roll performance of fin whales, and we tested its ...
