Master athletes are extending the limits of human endurance
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 The increased participation of master athletes (i.e. > 40 years old) in endurance and ultra-endurance events (> 6h duration) over the past few decades has been accompanied by an improvement in their performances at a much faster rate than their younger ...

Statistical parameter inference of bacterial swimming strategies [PDF]
, 2018 We provide a detailed stochastic description of the swimming motion of an E.coli bacterium in two dimension, where we resolve tumble events in time. For this purpose, we set up two Langevin equations for the orientation angle and speed dynamics. Calculating moments, distribution and autocorrelation functions from both Langevin equations and matching ...

Taylor line swimming in microchannels and cubic lattices of obstacles [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Microorganisms naturally move in microstructured fluids. Using the simulation method of multi-particle collision dynamics, we study an undulatory Taylor line swimming in a two-dimensional microchannel and in a cubic lattice of obstacles, which represent simple forms of a microstructured environment. In the microchannel the Taylor line swims at an acute
