Chimpanzee self-medication in Budongo Forest: investigating the use of putative self-medicative resources in the Sonso and Waibira communities by Freymann, E

“…<p>This DPhil project explores established and putative self-medicative behaviors amongst wild chimpanzees (<em>Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii</em>) in the Budongo Forest, Uganda. The study spans eight and a half months of multidisciplinary data from two wild chimpanzee communities, Sonso and Waibira, supplemented by thirty years of longitudinal data. …”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…Biomimetic observations, however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since many of the functions and details of fish fins remain unexplored. This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”
