Running into a Trap: Numerical Design of Task-Optimal Preflex Behaviors for Delayed Disturbance Responses
Journal Article
Van Why, J., Hubicki, C., Jones, M., Daley, M. A., & Hurst, J. Running into a Trap: Numerical Design of Task-Optimal Preflex Behaviors for Delayed Disturbance Responses. https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS.2014.6942908

Abstract:
Legged robots enjoy kilohertz control rates but are still making incremental gains towards becoming as nimble as animals. In contrast, bipedal animals are amazingly robust runners despite lagged state feedback from protracted neuromechanic...

Extracellular ATP released by osteoblasts is a key local inhibitor of bone mineralisation
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Key, M. L., Hajjawi, M. O. R., & Arnett, T. R. (in press). Extracellular ATP released by osteoblasts is a key local inhibitor of bone mineralisation. PLoS ONE, 8(7), e69057. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0069057

Previous studies have shown that exogenous ATP (>1µM) prevents bone formation in vitro by blocking mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. This effect is thought to be mediated via both P2 receptor-dependent pathways and a receptor-independent mech...

Preserving the Impossible: Conservation of Soft-Sediment Hominin Footprint Sites and Strategies for Three-Dimensional Digital Data Capture
Journal Article
Bennett, M. R., Falkingham, P. L., Morse, S. A., Bates, K. T., & Crompton, R. H. (in press). Preserving the Impossible: Conservation of Soft-Sediment Hominin Footprint Sites and Strategies for Three-Dimensional Digital Data Capture. PLoS ONE, 8(4), E60755. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0060755

Human footprints provide some of the most publically emotive and tangible evidence of our ancestors. To the scientific community they provide evidence of stature, presence, behaviour and in the case of early hominins potential evidence with respect t...
