Network weight and time-varying potential function for obstacle avoidance of swarm robots in column formation by Shotaro Shibahara, Takuma Wakasa, Kenji Sawada

“…This paper proposes network weight functions and time-varying potential functions for obstacle avoidance of swarm robots in column formation. We consider a potential function whose exponent is the distance between the robots and the obstacle for obstacle avoidance. …”

Contributions of cell behavior to geometric order in embryonic cartilage. by Sonja Mathias, Igor Adameyko, Andreas Hellander, Jochen Kursawe

“…We confirm that oriented cell divisions and repulsive mechanical interactions between cells are key drivers of column formation. In addition, the model suggests that column formation benefits from the spatial gaps created by the extracellular matrix in the initial configuration, and that column maintenance is facilitated by sequential proliferative phases. …”

Aerial attack strategies of hawks hunting bats, and the adaptive benefits of swarming by Brighton, CH, Zusi, L, McGowan, KA, Kinniry, M, Kloepper, LN, Taylor, GK

“…</p> <p>Swarming bats emerging from a massive desert roost reduce their predation risk by maintaining tight column formation, because the hawks that predate them attack peripheral stragglers and isolated wanderers disproportionately. …”

A theory for the alignment of cortical feature maps during development by Bressloff, P, Oster, A

“…We present a developmental model of ocular dominance column formation that takes into account the existence of an array of intrinsically specified cytochrome oxidase blobs. …”

Nr6a1 controls Hox expression dynamics and is a master regulator of vertebrate trunk development by Yi-Cheng Chang, Jan Manent, Jan Schroeder, Siew Fen Lisa Wong, Gabriel M. Hauswirth, Natalia A. Shylo, Emma L. Moore, Annita Achilleos, Victoria Garside, Jose M. Polo, Paul Trainor, Edwina McGlinn

“…The authors identify Nuclear receptor subfamily 6 group A member 1 (Nr6a1) as a master regulator of elongation, segmentation, patterning and lineage allocation specifically within the trunk region of the mouse, acting downstream of the major signals known to control vertebral column formation.…”

Larval morphology of Hoplias lacerdae Miranda Ribeiro, 1908 (Characiformes, Erythrinidae), from hatching to metamorphosis, related to exogenous food capture ability by Cláudia Maria Reis Raposo Maciel, Alaor Maciel Júnior, Juarez Lopes Donzele, Eduardo Arruda Teixeira Lanna, Eliane Menin

“…The yolk sac larvae at 11 days after hatching have the potentiality to capture exogenous food, i.e. prey, even before the total yolk absorption which happens at 12 days, presenting in this phase: an open mouth at one day after hatching, displaying the terminal position at four days; notochord flexion, that takes place at seven days and provides greater efficiency of movement; pectoral fins, also developed at seven days, which facilitate its balance and direction in the water column; formation of the dorsal and anal fins at eight days and the pelvic ones, at 11 days.…”

The Role of Dynamic Columns in Explaining Gamma-band Synchronization and NMDA Receptors in Cognitive Functions by Robert A. Moss, Jarrod Moss

“…Following a discussion of the microcircuitry that may be involved, there is a brief discussion on how the serious neuropsychiatric disorders of schizophrenia, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease can be conceptualized as disorders of disrupted column formation. The arguments presented provide a theoretical basis for future research to determine the validity of this novel view.…”

N-cadherin orchestrates self-organization of neurons within a columnar unit in the Drosophila medulla by Trush, O, Liu, C, Han, X, Nakai, Y, Takayama, R, Murakawa, H, Carrillo, JA, Takechi, H, Hakeda-Suzuki, S, Suzuki, T, Sato, M

“…In this study, using N-cadherin (Ncad) as a marker, we reveal the donut-like columnar structures along the 2D layer in the larval medulla that evolves to form three distinct layers in pupal development. Column formation is initiated by three core neurons, R8, R7, and Mi1, which establish distinct concentric domains within a column. …”

Liquefaction Analysis of Soils according to the New Turkish Building Earthquake Code and Improvement against Liquefaction by Uğur Dağdeviren

“…In addition, cards were developed to determine design parameters such as the stiffness of the columns to be used in the column formation method and the column spacing to be used for the improvement of the liquefiable soils.…”

Columnar-jointed bentonite below a doleritic sill, Tideswell Dale, Derbyshire, UK: formation during prograde contact metamorphism by Mullineux, S, Sparks, RSJ, Murphy, MD, MacNiocaill, C, Barfod, D, Njorka, J, Schumacher, JC

“…The progression of fracture geometries, thermal considerations and application of theories of column formation indicate that columns formed downwards away from the sill, due to prograde contact metamorphism of the originally clay-rich bentonite. …”

The biology of seamounts: 25 years on by Rogers, A

“…Processes leading to upwelling, including Taylor column formation and tidal rectification, have now been defined as well as those leading to draw down of organic matter from the ocean surface to seamount summit and flanks. …”

Planar cell polarity signaling coordinates oriented cell division and cell rearrangement in clonally expanding growth plate cartilage by Yuwei Li, Ang Li, Jason Junge, Marianne Bronner

Investigation of the block toppling evolution of a layered model slope by centrifuge test and discrete element modeling by Leilei Jin, Hongkai Dong, Fei Ye, Yufeng Wei, Jianfeng Liu, Changkui Wang

“…The centrifuge test results show that the block toppling evolution can be divided into seven stages, i.e. layer compression, formation of major tensile crack, reverse bending of the block column, closure of major tensile crack, strong bending of the block column, formation of failure zone, and complete failure. …”

Functional Investigation of a Non-coding Variant Associated with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in Zebrafish: Elevated Expression of the Ladybird Homeobox Gene Causes Body Axis De... by Long Guo, Hiroshi Yamashita, Ikuyo Kou, Aki Takimoto, Makiko Meguro-Horike, Shin-ichi Horike, Tetsushi Sakuma, Shigenori Miura, Taiji Adachi, Takashi Yamamoto, Shiro Ikegawa, Yuji Hiraki, Chisa Shukunami

“…The ubiquitous overexpression of human LBX1 or either of the zebrafish lbx genes (lbx1a, lbx1b, and lbx2), but not FLJ41350, in zebrafish embryos caused body curvature followed by death prior to vertebral column formation. Such body axis deformation was not observed in transcription activator-like effector nucleases mediated knockout zebrafish of lbx1b or lbx2. …”
