To Snake or Not to Snake in the Planar Swift–Hohenberg Equation
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2010 In this paper, based on their previous study of snakes-and-ladders bifurcation structures of one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation, the authors extended their investigation to the two-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation posed on a cylinder and the plane.

Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces an origami tentacle gripper to robustly grasp objects‐in air, underwater, and even in orbital space‐by exploiting a synergy between local, deterministic deformation programming and global, stochastic entanglements. A single origami tentacle can be designed to coil with a simple tendon pull.

2014 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2014 Visual cues like texture, color and context make objects appear distinct from the surroundings, even without gradients between regions. Texture-rich objects are often difficult to segment because algorithms need advanced features which are unique for the image. In this paper we suggest a method for image segmentation that operates without training data.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Morphological anisotropy directs the in vivo transport under physiological flow and clearance of silica nanocarriers. Increasing anisotropy reduces cellular uptake, suppresses hepatic and splenic sequestration, and prolongs systemic circulation by steering particles toward the central flow core.

Study of Blood Parasites of the Three Snake Species in Iran: Natrix natrix, Natrix tessellata and Zamenis longissimus (Colubridae) [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2017 Infections with blood parasites are common phenomenon in reptiles from all over the world. Apicomplexan are the majority of blood parasites that frequently occur with high levels of parasitaemia in the snakes.

, 2016 Snake and Nibbler are two well-known video games in which a snake slithers through a maze and grows as it collects food. During this process, the snake must avoid any collision with its tail. Various goals can be associated with these video games, such as avoiding the tail as long as possible, or collecting a certain amount of food, or reaching some ...

Annual Reviews in Control, 2017 The inspiration for snake robots comes from biological snakes. Snakes display superior mobility capabilities and can move over virtually any type of terrain, including narrow and confined spaces. They are good climbers, very efficient swimmers, and some snakes can even fly by jumping off branches and using their body to glide through the air.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible, hexagonally packed artificial dielectric providing a wide range of effective permittivities (εr ≈ 30–1400) without lumped elements was developed for clinical and ultra‐high‐field MRI. Combined with modular passive‐dipole arrays, the system enables adaptable RF field shaping through electric‐ and magnetic‐dipole tuning.
