Performance of Very Small Robotic Fish Equipped with CMOS Camera

open access: yesRobotics, 2015
Underwater robots are often used to investigate marine animals. Ideally, such robots should be in the shape of fish so that they can easily go unnoticed by aquatic animals.

A biomechanical analysis of the farmers walk, and comparison with the deadlift and unloaded walk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of the farmers walk, deadlift and unloaded walk. Six experienced male strongman athletes performed farmers' walks and deadlifts at 70% of their 1RM deadlift.

Flow Interactions Between Low Aspect Ratio Hydrofoils in In-line and Staggered Arrangements

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2020
Many species of fish gather in dense collectives or schools where there are significant flow interactions from their shed wakes. Commonly, these swimmers shed a classic reverse von Kármán wake, however, schooling eels produce a bifurcated wake topology ...

Maneuverability assessment of a compound helicopter configuration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The compound helicopter design could potentially satisfy the new emerging requirements placed on the next generation of rotorcraft. The main benefit of the compound helicopter is its ability to reach speeds that significantly surpass those of the ...

Three-Dimensional Numerical Study of Hydrodynamic Interactions between Pectoral Fins and the Body of Aquatic Organisms

open access: yesBiomimetics
Fish swimming has attracted attention as a locomotion system with excellent propulsive efficiency. They swim by moving their body, fins, and other organs simultaneously, which developed during evolution.

Impaired H-Reflex Adaptations Following Slope Walking in Individuals With Post-stroke Hemiparesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background and Purpose: Short term adaptations in the Ia afferent-motoneuron pathway, as measured using the H-reflex, in response to altered ground reaction forces (GRFs) applied at the feet during slope walking have been observed in the non-impaired ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve
