Characterization of the Frictional Response of Squamata Shed Skin in Comparison to Human skin [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Deterministic surfaces are constructs of which profile, topography and textures are integral to the function of the system they enclose. They are designed to yield a predetermined rubbing response. Developing such entities relies on controlling the structure of the rubbing interface so that, not only the surface is of optimized topography, but also is ...

Tribological Analysis of Ventral Scale Structure in a Python Regius in Relation to Laser Textured Surfaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Laser Texturing is one of the leading technologies applied to modify surface topography. To date, however, a standardized procedure to generate deterministic textures is virtually non-existent. In nature, especially in squamata, there are many examples of deterministic structured textures that allow species to control friction and condition their ...

Intertidal zonation of macroinfauna on a dissipative, sandy beach at De Panne (Belgium): a pilot study [PDF]
, 1997 To elucidate vertical (= from high to low water mark) macroinfaunal community patterns on little-studied Belgian dissipative sandy beaches, macroinfauna was sampled at eight stations along a seaward transect at De Panne.
