The swimming of a deforming helix [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal E, 2018
Many microorganisms and artificial microswimmers use helical appendages in order to generate locomotion. Though often rotated so as to produce thrust, some species of bacteria such Spiroplasma, Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Spirochetes induce movement by deforming a helical-shaped body.

Swimming and Grommets [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1983
The dictum that patients who have plastic ventilation tubes (grommets) inserted in their tympanic membranes should not go swimming is questioned. A theoretical assessment is made of the pressure necessary to push water through a grommet. This value is compared with practical observations.

Swimming with Quarks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2005
These six lectures, given at the XI Mexican School of Particles and Fields held at Xalapa in August 2004, are on the subject of strong coupling QCD. How this colours and shapes the hadron world in terms of (i) the hadron spectrum, (ii) chiral symmetry breaking, (iii) dynamical mass generation and (iv) confinement, are the topics discussed.
