...Eman Y. Merza; Stephen J. Pearson; Glen A. Lichtwark; Peter Malliaras ABSTRACT The Achilles tendon (AT) exhibits volume changes related to fluid flow under acute load which may be linked to changes in stiffness. Fluid flow provides a mechanical signal for cellular activity and may be one mechanism...

... repeated loading remains unclear. This study compared the AT longitudinal, transverse and volume strains during repeated loading of the tendinopathic AT with those of the contralateral tendon in people with unilateral MAT. Ten adults with unilateral MAT performed 10 successive 25 s submaximal (50...

...P. J. Ponganis; J. St Leger; M. Scadeng ABSTRACT The anatomy and volume of the penguin respiratory system contribute significantly to pulmonary baroprotection, the body O 2 store, buoyancy and hence the overall diving physiology of penguins. Therefore, three-dimensional reconstructions from...

... between differently shaped objects,we trained eight individuals in a food-rewarded, two-alternative,forced-choice procedure. All fish learned to discriminate between two objects of different shapes and volumes. When new object combinations were offered in non-rewarded test trials, fish preferred those...

... also calculated the ingested volume and a novel metric of strike accuracy. In addition, we quantified for each species the effects of gape magnitude, time to peak gape, and swimming speed on features of the ingested volume of water. Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) and high-speed video were...

...P. V. Skov; J. F. Steffensen SUMMARY The volume of the primary (PCS) and secondary (SCS) circulatory system in the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua was determined using a modified dye dilution technique. Cod ( N =10) were chronically cannulated in the second afferent branchial artery with PE-50 tubing...
