Having a highly mobile skull introduces a tradeoff between the ability to have high speed jaw opening (high kinesis) or higher bite transmission (lower kinesis). While there is a more complex relationship between mechanical advantage and the speed of lower jaw depression, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] there is consensus that species using high-speed ...
The US has tested a futuristic “manta-ray” style underwater drone that could one day be used for long-distance missions around the world.. The Manta Ray prototype uncrewed underwater vehicle ...
Manta Matcher is a pattern-matching software that eases researcher workload; key spot pattern features are extracted using a scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm, [5] which can cope with complications presented by highly variable spot patterns and low contrast photographs.
