Crawl Space: Driving Over the Anthropocene in a Jeep
<p>The automobile has long been directly and indirectly connected to human conceptions of nature, yet few studies linger with the act of driving as a practice that contributes to how nature is experienced. I argue that a more nuanced understanding of automobility is necessary for any scholars who …

Relationship between trunk acceleration and arm stroke cycle coordination in competitive front crawl swimming
In this study, the cyclic motion of front crawl was analyzed to determine the relationship between peak trunk acceleration and the arm stroke cycle. The data acquired in this study to quantify the timing of peak trunk acceleration, was recorded using triaxial accelerometers attached to the …

The influence of controlled frequency breathing on blood lactate levels during graded front crawl stroke swimming
… heart rate, and stroke rate during front crawl stroke swimming. A maximal exertion test was used to determine peak swimming velocity. Based on this maximal test, five different workloads were used to compare CFB and normal breathing (NB). Subjects swam three-minute workloads at …

Mammalian limb morphology: the role of the crawl in determining marsupial limb integration, development, and evolution
… to be due to the reproductive differences. The crawl most marsupial neonates complete after birth has constrained the evolution of the forelimb and the group as a whole. However, the hind limb, which does not participate in the crawl, may have “escaped” the crawl’s constraint. This strong …

Quantification of performance analysis factors in front crawl swimming using micro electronics: a data rich system for swimming.
… coaching decisions for their athletes in front crawl swimming. A coach’s job is to assist with various factors of an individual athlete to allow them to perform at an optimum level. The demands of the swimming coach require objective data on the swim performance in order to offer efficient …

Essays on Speculative Attacks and Exchange Rate Target Zones
… rate fluctuations in a target zone with a crawling central parity. The goal is to explain the behavior of exchange rates in target zones when the central parity is allowed to depreciate. The setup is used to show the importance of having a coordinated monetary and exchange rate policy. In …

Analysis, Design, and Control of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs Coupled to a Human
… the ground, while the other allows the human to crawl using the SuperLimbs. More importantly, we justify these two control policies by using the human models to predict how they will affect the human’s total muscular effort. Finally, we describe a novel Lyapunov based controller that prioritizes …

Rheology of complex fluid films for biological and mechanical adhesive locomotion
Many gastropods, such as snails and slugs, crawl using adhesive locomotion, a technique that allows the organisms to climb walls and walk across ceilings. These animals stick to the crawling surface by excreting a thin layer of biopolymer mucin gel, known as pedal mucus, and their acrobatic ability …
