Diffraction of the Field of a Grounded Cable on an Elongated Dielectric Spheroid in a Conducting Layer by Yuri Kuzmin, Stanislav Proshkin

“…Graphs showing the flow characteristics of an elongated dielectric spheroid modeling a swimmer in a light diving suit are given. The influence of the water–air boundary on the increase in the secondary field of the dielectric spheroid, which leads to an increase in the reliability of object detection, is revealed. …”

Genetic dissection of a Leishmania flagellar proteome demonstrates requirement for directional motility in sand fly infections by Beneke, T, Demay, F, Hookway, E, Ashman, N, Jeffery, H, Smith, J, Valli, J, Becvar, T, Myskova, J, Lestinova, T, Shafiq, S, Sadlova, J, Volf, P, Wheeler, J, Gluenz, E

“…This first large-scale knockout screen in a Leishmania sp. identified 56 mutants with altered swimming speed (52 reduced and 4 increased) and defined distinct mutant categories (faster swimmers, slower swimmers, slow uncoordinated swimmers and paralysed cells, including aflagellate promastigotes and cells with curled flagella and disruptions of the paraflagellar rod). …”

Squirmer dynamics near a boundary by Ishimoto, K, Gaffney, E

“…Nonetheless, there are constraints on swimmer behavior - for instance, swimmers characterized as pushers are never observed to exhibit stable limit cycles. …”

Simulations and modelling of bacterial flagellar propulsion by Shum, H

“…</p> <p>As an extension to original models of flagellar propulsion in bacteria that assume a rotation of the rigid helical flagellum about an axis fixed relative to the cell body, we consider flexibility of the bacterial hook connecting the aforementioned parts of the swimmer. This is motivated by evidence that the hook is much more flexible than the rest of the flagellum, which we therefore treat as a rigid structure. …”
