Modelling of an actuated elastic swimmer

Miguel Piñeirua, Benjamin Thiria, Ramiro Godoy-Diana

We study the force production dynamics of undulating elastic plates as a model for fish-like inertial swimmers. Using a beam model coupled with Lighthill's large-amplitude elongate…

Unsteady wave pattern generation by water striders

Thomas Steinmann, Maxence Arutkin, Précillia Cochard +3

We perform an experimental and theoretical study of the wave pattern generated by the leg strokes of water striders during a propulsion cycle. Using the synthetic Schlieren method,…

Pressure dependent friction on granular slopes close to avalanche

Jérôme Crassous, Antoine Humeau, Samuel Boury +1

We investigate the sliding of objects on an inclined granular surface close to the avalanche threshold. Our experiments show that the stability is driven by the surface deformation…

Network-based model of the growth of termite nests

Young-Ho Eom, Andrea Perna, Santo Fortunato +3

We present a model for the growth of the transportation network inside nests of the social insect subfamily Termitinae (Isoptera, termitidae). These nests consist of large chambers…

Frequency and Viability of Diploid and Haploid Males Offsprings of Mated Females of Solitary Endoparasitoid (DIADROMUS Pulchellus) (Ichneumonidae)

Robert Kalmès, Danielle Rojas-Rousse

Sex determination in the order Hymenoptera is based on arrhenotoky, hymenopteran males are usually haploid and females diploid. Males of the Ichneumonidae Diadromus pulchellus, sol…
