A retractable barb needle for drug darts
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1973 The mechanism and action of a new retractable barbneedle for drug darts are described. This dart needle is particularly successful in obviating unnecessary flight reactions andtrauma in darted animals, and facilitates the complete injection of the drug ...

The Optimum Flight Speeds of Flying Animals
Journal of Avian Biology, 1998 Conventional models of bird flight combine metabolic, mechanical, and aerodynamic components to calculate the rate of fuel consumption and power required for flight, from which we may derive the optimal speeds flying animals should use in different situations.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The hidden role of Cd segregation at grain boundaries is revealed in p‐type Mg3Sb2 by atom probe tomography and other advanced characterizations. Grain boundary Cd enrichment suppresses the SbMg+ hole‐killer formation and lowers potential barriers, enhancing electrical conductivity.

The role of vortices in animal locomotion in fluids
Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2014 The aim of this paper is to show the significance of vortices in animal locomotion in fluids on two deliberately chosen examples. The first example concerns lift generation by bird and insect wings, the second example briefly mentiones swimming and ...
