Snake Robot Gait Decomposition and Gait Parameter Optimization [PDF]
This paper proposes Gait Decomposition (G.D), a method of mathematically decomposing snake movements, and Gait Parameter Gradient (GPG), a method of optimizing decomposed gait parameters. G.D is a method that can express the snake gait mathematically and concisely from generating movement using the curve function to the motor control order when ...

Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Coral snake venoms: mode of action and pathophysiology of experimental envenomation
Coral snakes, the New World Elapidae, are included in the genera Micniroides and Micrurus. The genus Mlcrurus comprises nearly all coral snake species and those which are responsible for human snake-bite accidents.

In contrast to comprehensively investigated antibacterial activity of snake venoms, namely crude venoms and their selected components, little is known about antifungal properties of elapid snake venoms. In the present study, the proteome of two venoms of

Some algebraic invariants of the edge ideals of some $q$-fold bristled graphs [PDF]
In this paper, we compute the exact values of regularity of the quotient rings of the edge ideals associated to multi triangular snake and multi triangular ouroboros snake graphs. Also we compute the exact values of depth, Stanley depth, regularity and projective dimension of the quotient rings of the edge ideals associated to $q$-fold bristled graphs ...

SAAP‐148 oligomerizes into a hexamer forming a hydrophobic inner core
Human cathelicidin LL‐37 is a widely studied antimicrobial 37‐mer peptide with various ascribed functions, that serves as a template for designing novel peptides. Its derivative, the 24‐mer SAAP‐148, is highly effective in vitro in eradicating multidrug‐resistant bacteria, persistent cells, and biofilms, without inducing resistance.

Highly localised traditional knowledge of Mien medicinal plants in Chiang Rai, Thailand
Abstract The Mien ethnic people have migrated from China to Thailand over centuries and traditionally settled in remote areas of northern Thailand. They relied extensively on the local ecosystem for construction, food, fodder, and medicine. There are only a few studies of Mien traditional knowledge in China and Nan, Thailand.

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Background: Some venoms and their isolated compounds have been shown to have antibacterial properties. Snake, scorpion and bee venoms are a complex mixture of proteins such as phospholipase and melittin, which have an effect on bacterial growth ...

Snake venoms contain components selected to immobilize prey. The venoms from Elapidae mainly contain neurotoxins, which are critical for rapid prey paralysis, while the venoms from Viperidae and Colubridae may contain fewer neurotoxins but are likely to ...
