We investigate the dynamics of a delayed neural network model consisting of n identical neurons. We first analyze stability of the zero solution and then study the effect of time delay on the dynamics of the system. We also investigate the steady state bifurcations and their stability.

In this study, the walking behavior of Phoxichilidium femoratum and Nymphon brevirostre was investigated using video recordings. The walking behavior of P. femoratum while walking over the colonial hydroids that they normally feed on and on relatively smooth glass surfaces was observed. In the case of N.

Role of spatial heterogeneity on the collective dynamics of cilia beating in a minimal 1D model
Cilia are elastic hairlike protuberances of the cell membrane found in various unicellular organisms and in several tissues of most living organisms. In some tissues such as the airway tissues of the lung, the coordinated beating of cilia induce a fluid ...

Light‐Fueled Nonreciprocal Self‐Oscillators for Fluidic Transportation and Coupling
Non‐equilibrium self‐sustained motions are widely reported in stimuli‐responsive material systems. Here, a cilia‐like soft actuator that can perform self‐sustained oscillation under water, with programmable nonreciprocal strokes, is demonstrated. The self‐oscillators can realize microfluidic pumping, translocation of a micro‐object, and coupling ...

Hydrodynamic interactions of cilia on a spherical body [PDF]
Microorganisms develop coordinated beating patterns on surfaces lined with cilia known as metachronal waves. For a chain of cilia attached to a flat ciliate, it has been shown that hydrodynamic interactions alone can lead the system to synchronize. However, several microorganisms possess a curve shaped ciliate body and so to understand the effect of ...

3D Printing of Multilayer Magnetic Miniature Soft Robots with Programmable Magnetization
The 3D production of miniature soft robots that exhibit programmed shape transformation and controlled locomotion under magnetic actuation promotes application development in targeted or minimally invasive treatments. Multilayer printing via digital light processing provides a fast and precise way to produce sophisticated magnetic shapes.

Physics of Microswimmers - Single Particle Motion and Collective Behavior
Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are only possible due to locomotion.

A boundary element regularised Stokeslet method applied to cilia and flagella-driven flow [PDF]
A boundary element implementation of the regularised Stokeslet method of Cortez is applied to cilia and flagella-driven flows in biology. Previously-published approaches implicitly combine the force discretisation and the numerical quadrature used to ...
