The hummingbird's tongue: a self-assembling capillary syphon.
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the dynamics of drinking in ruby-throated hummingbirds. In vivo observations reveal elastocapillary deformation of the hummingbird's tongue and capillary suction along its length. By developing a theoretical model for the hummingbird's drinking process, we investigate how the elastocapillarity affects the energy ...
متن کاملLocation as a Poverty Trap
In this paper, we ask “Can proximity to towns reduces poverty in rural areas?” For this study we have mapped all the villages in Orissa. The study is based on small area poverty estimation methodology as well as the secondary data covering 47,395 villages and 109 towns. Our main findings are (i) there is a relationship between the distance to nearest town and rural poverty and (ii) poverty leve...
متن کاملSyphon dynamics - a soluble model of multi-agents cooperative behavior
We consider the dynamics of a “one queue one server” feedback queueing system where the decision of an agent to use the feedback loop is based upon its waiting time in the system. We investigate the dynamics for very patient agents and quantify the emerging stable and almost deterministic oscillations of the queue length. The resulting delay dynamics are due to the experience based decisions of...
متن کاملA Method of Applying Syphon Exhaustion to Cases of Empyæma
1. Mr John Duncan demonstrated?(1.) A method of applying syphon exhaustion to cases of empyema. It consisted essentially of a large flat piece of plain rubber, a long rubber tube, and an airtight pliable bag. The cavity was filled with warm boric lotion. The tube, also filled, was inserted into the cavity through a hole in the plain rubber cut smaller than itself, and an elastic bandage passed ...
متن کاملThe duodenum: a conduit or a pump?
In the article by Nguyen et al in this issue (see page 624), a novel impedance method was used to characterise the transport of chyme in the duodenum in the postprandial period. The authors suggest that abnormal postprandial transport of chyme in the duodenum may be a factor that results in impairment of gastric emptying in patients with long-standing type I diabetes mellitus. The paper raises ...
