Energy Considerations in a Model of Nematode Sperm Crawling
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2006 In this paper we propose a mathematical model for nematode spermcell crawling. The model takes into account both force and energybalance in the process of lamellipodium protrusion and cellnucleus drag. It is shown that by specifying the (possiblyvariable)

Tuning gastropod locomotion: Modeling the influence of mucus rheology on the cost of crawling [PDF]
, 2006 Common gastropods such as snails crawl on a solid substrate by propagating muscular waves of shear stress on a viscoelastic mucus. Producing the mucus accounts for the largest component in the gastropod's energy budget, more than twenty times the amount ...

The Spanish Review of Financial Economics, 2012 While our kids may think this paper is about spiders, it is, unfortunately, about rms in the United States reporting relevant business information to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The paper is meant to serve as a primer for economists in the computing details of searching for information in the Internet.

An Earthworm-Inspired Soft Crawling Robot Controlled by Friction
, 2017 We present the modeling, design, fabrication and feedback control of an earthworm-inspired soft robot capable of crawling on surfaces by actively manipulating the frictional force between its body and the surface.

Whittle Index Policy for Crawling Ephemeral Content [PDF]
, 2015 We consider a task of scheduling a crawler to retrieve content from several sites with ephemeral content. A user typically loses interest in ephemeral content, like news or posts at social network groups, after several days or hours. Thus, development of

On the Swimming of \textit{Dictyostelium} amoebae
, 2010 Traditionally, the primary mode for locomotion of amoeboid cells was thought to be crawling on a substrate. Recently, it has been experimentally shown that \textit{Dictostelium} amoeba and neutrophils can also swim in a directed fashion.

Crawling Water Beetles of Wisconsin (Coleoptera: Haliplidae) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Haliplidae are smail water beetles, less than 5 mm long, that frequently occur in abundance in ponds, marshes, sloughs, and swamps and also along the margins of slow streams or lakes where there is not severe wave action.
