Morphology, Swimming Performance and Propulsive Mode of Six Co-occurring Hydromedusae [PDF]
Jet propulsion, based on examples from the Hydrozoa, has served as a valuable model for swimming by medusae. However, cnidarian medusae span several taxonomic classes (collectively known as the Medusazoa) and represent a diverse array of morphologies and

Swimming in curved space or The Baron and the cat
We study the swimming of non-relativistic deformable bodies in (empty) static curved spaces. We focus on the case where the ambient geometry allows for rigid body motions. In this case the swimming equations turn out to be geometric. For a small swimmer,

KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND USING SWIMMING GOGGLES ON DIVERS COMMUNITY IN TAWANGALUN SWIMMING POOL, BANYUWANGI [PDF]
Background: The water in swimming pools is filled with chemicals which causes the eyes irritation.Using goggles is the best way to protect swimmer eyes from all the chemicals in the swimming pool. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between

Central pattern generator for swimming in Melibe [PDF]
The nudibranch mollusc Melibe leonina swims by bending from side to side. We have identified a network of neurons that appears to constitute the central pattern generator (CPG) for this locomotor behavior, one of only a few such networks to be described ...

Phoretic self-propulsion at finite P\'eclet numbers [PDF]
Phoretic self-propulsion is a unique example of force- and torque-free motion on small scales. The classical framework describing the flow field around a particle swimming by self-diffusiophoresis neglects the advection of the solute field by the flow ...

Kinematics of the swimming of Spiroplasma
\emph{Spiroplasma} swimming is studied with a simple model based on resistive-force theory. Specifically, we consider a bacterium shaped in the form of a helix that propagates traveling-wave distortions which flip the handedness of the helical cell body.

Metamodulation of a spinal locomotor network by nitric oxide [PDF]
Flexibility in the output of spinal networks can be accomplished by the actions of neuromodulators; however, little is known about how the process of neuromodulation itself may be modulated.
