The Effects of Locomotor Posture on Kinematics, Performance and Behavior during Obstacle Negotiation in Lizards
<p>The ability to efficiently move over uneven terrain is critical for most terrestrial animals. Bipedal running is common in lizard species, however the biological advantage of a bipedal running posture remains uncertain. I examined the hypothesis that a bipedal posture is advantageous when …

Assessment of the Effectiveness of Emergency Lighting, Retroreflective Markings, and Paint Color on Policing and Law Enforcement Safety
… driver speed and when drivers responded to the move over law. Based on the results of the naturalistic studies, the impact of the lighting system on officer visibility was investigated in a controlled human factors test where the ability of a driver to see a police officer outside of their …

Analysis of Responder-Involved Struck-by Crashes
… in deterring “D” driver involvement is limited. Overall, these findings highlight the need for enhanced safety protocols, targeted responder training, public education, and stricter enforcement of move over laws to protect roadside responders. This research aims to inform policy development, …

Design, fabrication and implementation of a flexure-based micropositioner for Dip Pen Nanolithography
… are held stationary, while the ball mount can move over it. An overhead camera is used to determine the actual and desired position of the ball mount relative to the balls. Once the ball mount reaches its desired position, the balls are glued in place using UV-cured epoxy. This half of a …

Seeking solidarity : categorisation and the politics of alienism in the migration of Zimbabweans to South Africa
… study is concerned with the process of movement of Zimbabwean nationals to Cape Town, South Africa, that results in their categorisation by the South African state as "illegal immigrants." Based on fieldwork carried out in Harare and Cape Town in 2006 and 2007, it explores the effects of …

Made for TV monsters : how has the rise of horror on US television affected the spectacle and acceptability of the genre?
… and US television. The second case study will move over to the subscription service Netflix, and Hemlock Grove (2013 – 2015). This chapter will explore the use of the Gothic to elevate the horror drama in conjunction with the strategic ambitions of Netflix as they began their journey into …

Negative interference in systems of coupled kinesin: A study of self-assembling complexes with defined structure
… necessary cargos. Many times the motors must move over long distances and against high opposing forces than those generated by single motors. To accomplish this task motors appear to act in teams, as suggested by experiments that show enhanced force production and extended travel lengths. Many …

Structure and motion from long image sequences
… then detects the paths of the features as they move over several frames. To determine the structure and motion of the objects, the trajectories must be partitioned into groups corresponding to the different objects, and then for each of these groups, the three-dimensional structure and motion …

Research in motion: patterns of large-scale migration in dragonflies and birds
… temporal, and ecological basis to patterns of movement by highly vagile organisms. From this perspective, the differences between chapters are matters of scale: community versus population ecology, and movement by thousands of birds through two localities versus a study of a single invertebrate …

Multichannel source separation and tracking with phase differences by random sample consensus
… incorporate spatial information. If the speakers move over time, we need an algorithm capable of tracking their positions in the room. For compact arrays with 1-10 cm of separation between the microphones, this can be accomplished by applying a temporal filter on estimates of the …

Abstract Models of Molecular Walkers
… perform two tasks: molecular transport of cargo over tracks and search for targets on finite surfaces. For the single-spider model our simulations show a transient behavior wherein certain spiders move superdiffusively over significant distances and times. This gives the spiders potential as a …

Using active contours for automated tracking of UV and EUV solar flare ribbons
… images show elongated bright ``ribbons'' that move over time. If these ribbons are assumed to locate the footpoints of magnetic field lines reconnecting in the corona then it is clear that studying their evolution can provide an important insight into the reconnection process. We propose an …
