Digestive physiology has played a prominent role in explanations for terrestrial herbivore body size CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) evolution and size-driven diversification and niche differentiation.This is based on the association of increasing body mass (BM) with diets of lower quality, and with putative mechanisms by which a higher BM could tra
Wall climbing robots using negative pressure suction always employ air pumps which have great noise and large volume.Two prototypes of bio-inspired miniature suction cup actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) are designed based on studying characteristics Li-Po Li-ion of biologic suction apparatuses, and the suction cups in this paper can be used as
ABSTRACT Introduction: Renal ptosis is defined as the renal descent when there is a change from supine to orthostatic position, usually with Cistanche a change of two vertebral bodies or more than five cm apart.Although rare, it is one of the causes of chronic flank pain or of upper abdomen.The typical patient of renal ptosis is young, female, thin
Roadside vegetation can affect the performance of installed road lighting.We demonstrate a workflow in which a car-mounted measurement system is used to assess the light-obstructing effect of roadside vegetation.The mobile mapping system (MMS) includes a panoramic camera system, laser scanner, inertial measurement unit, and satellite positioning sy
