Low-input cultivated pastures to feed cattle have dominated land use after forest clearing for decades in the western Brazilian Amazon. This study was undertaken to help understand the inherent nutrient supply dynamics underwriting cattle performance

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

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

The thrust produced during an escape response (C-start) of a northern pike, Esox lucius (0.41 m total length, 0.398 kg), an acceleration specialist, is estimated using the Weihs model for fish fast-starts. High-speed cine film records (250 Hz) of pik

Our objectives were to evaluate strategies to improve productivity and economic returns from beef and dual-purpose cattle systems based on data collected on one dual-purpose (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) and two beef (Nellore) cattle farms in the wester

Observations were conducted to determine rheotaxic behavior in Otocinclus sp. (Loricariidae). Rheotaxis in Otocinclus sp. (standard length 2.29–3.34 cm) occurs in three stages; (i) resting at zero water velocity; (ii) adhesion when water velocities

Measurements of the thrust and forward impulse of a simulated fish tail and mathematical modeling indicate that the propulsive forces of fast-start swimming can be optimized by three different effects: (i) exactly inverting the tail tip vortex that i

Fast-start escape performances for two species of threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus spp., were investigated using high-speed cinematography (400 Hz). The two fishes (not yet formally described, referred to here as benthic and limnetic) inhabit dif

The mechanical power output and hydrodynamic efficiency of northern pike, Esox lucius, during acceleration from rest (fast-start) are calculated from hydrodynamic theory for two kinematic patterns, C-starts (used in escape) and S-starts (used in prey
