Robotic modeling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science (2020), 7, 191192, 2020 Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge. On trees and desert dunes, snakes grip branches or brace against depressed sand for stability.

Interior point search for nonparametric image segmentation [PDF]
, 2021 Precise object boundary detection for automatic image segmentation is critical for image analysis, including that used in computer-aided diagnosis. However, such detection traditionally uses active contour or snake models requiring accurate initialization and parameter optimization.

Immunodiagnosis of Snake Bite [PDF]
BMJ, 1974 Management of a patient with snake bite is influenced by the nature of the offending snake. Species diagnosis based on the patient's history and physical signs is often unreliable and the possibility of making a species diagnosis by immunological means has therefore been investigated.

The Lancet, 2010 Snake bite is a common and frequently devastating environmental and occupational disease, especially in rural areas of tropical developing countries. Its public health importance has been largely ignored by medical science. Snake venoms are rich in protein and peptide toxins that have specificity for a wide range of tissue receptors, making them ...
