LEVERAGING THREE-DIMENSIONALITY FOR NAVIGATION IN BLUFF-BODY WAKES

Leveraging three-dimensionality for navigation in bluff-body wakes

Biological flyers and swimmers navigate in unsteady wake flows using limited sensory abilities and actuation energies.Understanding how vortical structures can be leveraged for energy-efficient navigation in unsteady flows is beneficial in developing autonomous navigation for small-scale aerial and marine vehicles.Such vehicles are Midi Interface t

Modeling the Influence of Mites on Honey Bee Populations

The Varroa destructor mite has been associated with the recent Dice Sets decline in honey bee populations.While experimental data are crucial in understanding declines, insights can be gained from models of honey bee populations.We add the influence of the V.destructor mite to our existing honey bee model in order to better understand the impact of

MicroRNA genes preferentially expressed in dendritic cells contain sites for conserved transcription factor binding motifs in their promoters

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression by translational repression or target mRNA degradation.Regulatory elements in miRNA promoters are less well studied, but may reveal a link between their expression and a specific cell type.Results To explore this link in myeloid cells, miRNA expressi
