Taylor's treadmill menagerie.
A series of four papers in JEB in 1982, masterminded by C. Richard Taylor, asked two deceptively simple questions: why does running faster consume metabolic energy at a faster rate, and why do larger animals require less energy to transport each gram of tissue? The audacious goal of these experiments was to link the energetics and biomechanics of terrestrial locomotion. These were not the first...

متن کاملA Topological Menagerie
One way to formulate this mathematically is to ask for an isotopy to remove the meridian loop m from a rigid wire w embedded in the 3-sphere, as shown in Figure 3a. (The wire represents the boy with his attached string, where the upper loop of the wire is his right hand, while the meridian represents the girl with her string.) Of course this is easy: just slide m along w to a point just below t...
متن کاملThe stem-cell menagerie.
The numbers, types and locations of stem cells in the nervous system have been the subject of much discussion. This review summarizes data on the types of stem cell present at different stages of development and in the adult brain, and the markers suggested to distinguish between the various possibilities that have been reported. We present evidence that more than one class of stem cell is pres...
متن کاملMetiTarski's Menagerie of Cooperating Systems
MetiTarski, an automatic theorem prover for real-valued special functions, is briefly introduced. Its architecture is sketched, with a focus on the arithmetic reasoning systems that it invokes. Finally, the paper describes some applications where MetiTarski is itself invoked by other tools.
