متن کاملTake-off and landing forces in jumping frogs.
Anurans use a saltatorial (jumping) mode of locomotion. A jumping cycle can be divided into four subphases: propulsion, flight, landing and recovery. We studied the landing phase during locomotion in Rana esculenta by measuring the ground reaction forces during propulsion and landing over a range of distances. Landing performance affects locomotor ability in jumping frogs. Landing and recovery ...
متن کاملEffects of body size on take-off flight performance in the Phasianidae (Aves).
To evaluate the mechanisms responsible for relationships between body mass and maximum take-off performance in birds, we studied four species in the Phasianidae: northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), chukar (Alectoris chukar), ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) and wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). These species vary in body mass from 0.2 to 5.3 kg, and they use flight almost solely...
متن کاملSynchronization power depends on the register size (
Though it is common practice to treat synchronization primitives for multiprocessors as abstract data types, they are in reality machine instructions on registers. A crucial theoretical question with practical implications is the relationship between the size of the register and its computational power. We wish to study this question and choose as a rst target the popular compare&swap operation...
متن کاملJumping species—a mechanism for coronavirus persistence and survival
Zoonotic transmission of novel viruses represents a significant threat to global public health and is fueled by globalization, the loss of natural habitats, and exposure to new hosts. For oronaviruses (CoVs), broad diversity exists within bat populations and uniquely positions them to seed future emergence events. In this review, we explore the host and viral dynamics that shape these CoV popul...
