Wing and tail morphing in birds and drones

To aid humans in civilian tasks, future drones will have to operate in large cities that abound with difficult flight conditions such as confined spaces, obstacles, and turbulent air. Such drones must cruise efficiently to cover vast distances fast and als ...

Measurement of ammonia emissions from temperate and sub-polar seabird colonies

Julia Schmale

The chemical breakdown of marine derived reactive nitrogen transported to the land as seabird guano represents a significant source of ammonia (NH3) in areas far from other NH3 sources. Measurements made at tropical and temperate seabird colonies indicate ...

Sources and fate of microplastics in Swiss surface waters

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Olivier Pompini

While plastic pollution in marine environments is getting better known and is the subject of a continuously growing number of publications, freshwaters still receive too little attention. Some studies worldwide focused on the nature and concentrations of m ...

Engagement of the Rat Hindlimb Motor Cortex across Natural Locomotor Behaviors

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Jacopo Rigosa, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant, Simone Ellen Joze Duis, Julie Kreider

Contrary to cats and primates, cortical contribution to hindlimb locomotor movements is not critical in rats. However, the importance of the motor cortex to regain locomotion after neurological disorders in rats suggests that cortical engagement in hindlim ...

Modeling Bird Flight Formations Using Diffusion Adaptation

Ali H. Sayed

Flocks of birds self-organize into V-formations when they need to travel long distances. It has been shown that this formation allows the birds to save energy, by taking advantage of the upwash generated by the neighboring birds. In this work we use a mode ...

Even Small Birds are Unique: Population Protocols with Identifiers

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

Although much research has been devoted to designing and experimenting on ad hoc networks of tiny devices, very little has focussed on devising theoretical models to capture the inherent power and limitations of such networks. A notable exception is the po ...
