Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is an important constituent of hip implants. Surgical revisions are required because of implant loosening and osteolysis (destruction or resorption of bone tissue). We develop a mathematical and a computationa

A form of large-amplitude elongated-body theory appropriate for the analysis of undulatory fins attached to a rigid body of elliptical section suggests a benefit due to momentum enhancement relative to the fins on their own. This theoretical predicti

Four goldfish Carassius auratus morphotypes of similar length (50 mm): common (streamlined, full complement of paired and median fins, bifurcated caudal fin), comet ('common like' but with a long, deeply forked caudal fin), fantail (short, deep body

In this study, artificial intelligence, namely multilayer perception neural networks (MLP-NN), was employed to predict the hydrodynamic performance of undulatory median fin propulsion in Xenomystus nigri. Good agreement was found between MLP-NN predi

Station holding in Pterygoplichthys spp. was associated with a lower energy cost relative to similarly sized fishes that swam against the free stream current. Pterygoplichthys spp. was characterized by a low, stable mass-specific metabolic rate (c. 5

Steller sea lions are highly maneuverable marine mammals (expressed as minimum turning radius). Video recordings of turns (n = 195) are analyzed from kinematic measurements for three captive animals. Speed-time plots of 180 ◦ turns have a typical

Two models for unpowered and powered turns and C-type fast-starts were developed and applied to four different manoeuvres: unpowered turns by a streamlined fish (yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares), powered turns by an unstreamlined fish (boxfish Ostra

The fast-start performance of three-spined sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus infected with Schistocephalus solidus and Bunodera spp. was determined and two distinct fast-start responses (A and B) were observed. 'A' starts were of higher flexibility

Standard metabolic rate (Rs) and critical swimming speed (Ucrit) were used to assess the aspects of physiological status (stamina) of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Fish were fed either 1·5% body mass daily, 1·5% body mass cyclically (3 weeks o

Growth, body composition and plasma growth hormone levels were recorded weekly for 24 weeks in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Underyearling rainbow trout were individually identified using coded tags and placed on either a cyclic feeding regime o
