Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Evidence of mutagenic and lethal effects of herbicides on Amazonian frogs [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica
Amphibians are excellent bioindicators because they are sensitive to chemical pollution and can indicate ecosystem changes due to the presence of or exposure to chemical compounds. Here we report evidence of the impact of herbicides, including glyphosate,

Ferroelectric Tunnel Junction Memristor Crossbar Array with Annealing Optimization for In‐Memory Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 48 × 48 ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) crossbar array is fabricated and optimized through postmetallization annealing, enabling stable polarization switching and reliable multilevel conductance programming. Half‐bias operation, accurate vector–matrix multiplication with less than 1% error, and CIFAR‐10 image classification with near‐software ...

Arginine Vasotocin, the Social Neuropeptide of Amphibians and Reptiles

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is the non-mammalian homolog of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and, like vasopressin, serves as an important modulator of social behavior in addition to its peripheral functions related to osmoregulation, reproductive physiology, and

Investigation of Hexagonal Honeycomb Topology for Impact Optimization in Energetic Material

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The regulation of the mechanical properties of energetic materials manufactured by traditional processes is constrained. However, the introduction of lattice structures can facilitate the regulation of mechanical properties without necessitating alterations to the materials themselves. Using finite element analysis and experimental validation,

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Priority areas for anuran conservation using biogeographical data: a comparison of greedy, rarity, and simulated annealing algorithms to define reserve networks in Cerrado

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Spatial patterns in biodiversity variation at a regional scale are rarely taken into account when a natural reserve is to be established, despite many available methods for determining them.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
