...Qun Zhang; Kun Xu; Xilun Ding ABSTRACT Cloven hooves of ruminants adapt to diverse terrain, provide propulsive force and support the whole body during movement in natural environments. To reveal how the feet ensure terrain adaptability by choosing the proper configurations and terrain conditions...

... association of runners' stride with running speed. Running pattern Self-selected speed Pleasure Biomechanics Adaptation There is a speed at which every individual prefers to run. Thus, considerable inter-individual variability exists in self-selected levels of exercise intensity. In a study...

...An M. Nguyen; Y.-N. Young; Christopher R. Jacobs ABSTRACT Mechanosensation is crucial for cells to sense and respond to mechanical signals within their local environment. While adaptation allows a sensor to be conditioned by stimuli within the environment and enables its operation in a wide range...

... across a variety of scenes, but no correlation was found between the brightness contrast of the stimuli and the cell response. As a consequence of motion adaptation resulting from repeated translation through the environment, the time-dependent response modulations induced by the spatial structure...
