This paper presents the meta-algorithmic approach used to realize multi-contact walking on the humanoid robot, DURUS. This systematic methodology begins by decomposing human walking into a sequence of distinct events (e.g. heel-strike, toe-strike, and toe push-off). These events are converted into an alternating sequence of domains and guards, resulting in a hybrid system model of the locomotio...

The Sirex woodwasp noctilio Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Siricidae), a widespread invasive pest of pines in the Southern Hemisphere, was first detected North America 2004. This study assessed impacts life history traits, host resistance and species interactions on demography S. New York, Pennsylvania Vermont, then compared key metrics to those found native range Galicia, Spain. Many trees naturally ...

Proto-anhydrobiosis of the nematode, Beddingia siricidicola, was achieved by incubation in polyethylene glycol or various concentrations up to 4 M of glycerol. The associated changes in the levels of glycerol, unbound proline, trehalose, lipids, and glycogen were determined by alkylation strategies, followed by gas chromatography or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The level of glycerol re...

Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is an invasive woodwasp, currently established in northeastern North America. In other regions of the world, stressed trap trees are used to monitor populations of S. noctilio and to provide inoculation points for the biological control nematode Deladenus siricidicola Bedding. However, the operational use of trap trees for S. noctilio in North America ...
