Intra-cyclic analysis of the front crawl swimming technique with an inertial measurement unit by André Engel, Nina Schaffert, Roy Ploigt, Klaus Mattes

“…Ten athletes from regional to national level swam 100 m front crawl and the video recording was combined with the IMU to analyse the key positions and find similarities and differences between the swimmers. The findings are the basis for an automatic pattern recognition system to provide coaches and scientists with immediate feedback on the execution of movements and to decide which parameters should be specifically trained to improve performance.…”

Nanoswimmers Based on Capped Janus Nanospheres by Petteri Piskunen, Martina Huusela, Veikko Linko

“…For example, bacteria with various flagella types serve as textbook examples of the minuscule swimmers found in nature. Along these lines, a plethora of artificial hybrid and non-hybrid nanoswimmers have been introduced, and they could find many uses, e.g., for targeted drug delivery systems (TDDSs) and controlled drug treatments. …”

Quantifying Vegetation on a Rock-Ramp Fishway for Fish Run-Up and Habitat Enhancement: The Case of the Miyanaka Intake Dam in Japan by Taku Masumoto, Masahiko Nakai, Takashi Aoki, Takashi Asaeda, Mizanur Rahman

“…Changes in vegetation, such as an increase in upright vegetation and a decrease in flow-obstructing vegetation, contributed to an increase in the population of bottom-dwellers, weak swimmers, and juvenile fish. The existence and management of appropriate vegetation are important for maintaining fishways inhabited by a variety of fish species.…”

The significance of Anomalocaris and other Radiodonta for understanding paleoecology and evolution during the Cambrian explosion by Gaëtan J.-M. Potin, Allison C. Daley

“…First reported in 1892 with Anomalocaris canadensis, radiodonts are now one of the best known early animal groups with excellent representation in the fossil record, and are ubiquitous components of Konservat-Lagerstätten from the Cambrian and the Early Ordovician. These large swimmers were characterised by a segmented body bearing laterally-oriented flaps, and a head with a distinct radial oral cone, a pair of large frontal appendages adapted for different feeding modes, compound eyes on stalks, and prominent head carapaces. …”
