Flow Physics of Routine Turns of Koi Carp (Cyprinus Carpio Koi)
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 This paper investigates the flow physics of Koi carp's routine turns with a novel CFD method solving the body-fluid interaction problem, which consists of deforming body dynamics and unsteady fluid dynamics.

Rate-independent soft crawlers
, 2017 This paper applies the theory of rate-independent systems to model the locomotion of bio-mimetic soft crawlers. We prove the well-posedness of the approach and illustrate how the various strategies adopted by crawlers to achieve locomotion, such as ...

Actionable Wearables Data for the Neurology Clinic: A Proof‐of‐Concept Tool
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Wearable devices can monitor key health and fitness domains. In multiple sclerosis (MS), monitoring step count and sleep is feasible, valid, and offers a holistic glimpse of patient functioning and worsening. However, data generated from wearables are typically unavailable at the point of care.

The Locomotion of Arthropods [PDF]
Nature, 1891 I HAVE been making some observations on the locomotion of various insects, and find that in the case of those which move quickly the best method for observation is instantaneous photography. Instantaneous photographs of moving flies show that they move the front and hind leg of one side almost simultaneously with the middle leg of the other, while they

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study investigated whether sleep disturbance can predict the extent to which pain interferes with daily functioning in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Data were from adults with early RA (joint symptoms ≤12 months) enrolled in the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort between 2016 and 2023.

Swimming efficiency in a shear-thinning fluid
, 2017 Micro-organisms expend energy moving through complex media. While propulsion speed is an important property of locomotion, efficiency is another factor that may determine the swimming gait adopted by a micro-organism in order to locomote in an ...
