Kinematic and gait similarities between crawling human infants and other quadruped mammals
Crawling on hands and knees is an early pattern of human infant locomotion, which offers an interesting way of studying quadrupedalism in one of its simplest form.

The dynamic polarization reversal of coexisting normal and relaxor ferroelectrics in 1D TMAPbI₃ (tetramethylammonium, TMA) is deciphered through combined experimental and theoretical approaches. By bridging atomic‐scale motion, macroscopic polarization switching, and depolarization effects, a universal methodology is established to engineer next ...

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Profile-Based Focused Crawling for Social Media-Sharing Websites
We present a novel profile-based focused crawling system for dealing with the increasingly popular social media-sharing websites. In this system, we treat the user profiles as ranking criteria for guiding the crawling process.

A vacuum-actuated soft robot inspired by Drosophila larvae to study kinetics of crawling behaviour.
Peristalsis, a motion generated by the propagation of muscular contraction along the body axis, is one of the most common locomotion patterns in limbless animals.

Stick-Slip model for actin-driven cell protrusions, cell polarisation and crawling [PDF]
Cell crawling requires the generation of intracellular forces by the cytoskeleton and their transmission to an extracellular substrate through specific adhesion molecules. Crawling cells show many features of excitable systems, such as spontaneous symmetry breaking and crawling in the absence of external cues, and periodic and propagating waves of ...

The iCrawl Wizard -- Supporting Interactive Focused Crawl Specification [PDF]
Collections of Web documents about specific topics are needed for many areas of current research. Focused crawling enables the creation of such collections on demand. Current focused crawlers require the user to manually specify starting points for the crawl (seed URLs). These are also used to describe the expected topic of the collection.

Developing Cathode Films for Practical All‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries
The development of all‐solid‐state lithium‐sulfur batteries offers higher specific energies and lower costs compared to state‐of‐the‐art Li‐ion batteries. However, a lack of mechanistic understanding hinders advancement. This review analyzes key electrode parameters, evaluates progress in enhancing ion/electron percolation, and addresses ...
