Unilateral range finding in diving beetle larvae.
One of the biggest challenges that predators, such as the larvae of the diving beetle Thermonectus marmoratus (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), are faced with is to accurately assess the distance of their prey. Most animals derive distance information from disparities of images that are viewed from different angles, from information that is obtained from well-controlled translational movements (motion ...
متن کاملSpectral sensitivity of the principal eyes of sunburst diving beetle, Thermonectus marmoratus (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), larvae.
The principal eyes of sunburst diving beetle, Thermonectus marmoratus, larvae are among the most unusual eyes in the animal kingdom. They are composed of long tubes connecting bifocal lenses with two retinas: a distal retina situated a few hundred micrometers behind the lens, and a proximal retina that is situated directly beneath. A recent molecular study on first instar larvae suggests that t...
متن کاملPhenotyping hypertrophy: eschew obfuscation.
Everyone thinks they know what “cardiac hypertrophy” is: a reactive increase in cardiac size/myocardial mass in response to hemodynamic stress that, in humans, predisposes to early death.1 Yet, the term “hypertrophy” has become one of the most misused and inaccurate terms in the cardiovascular basic science literature because of its nonspecificity and, as typically used, lack of mechanistic imp...
متن کاملAutosub6000: A Deep Diving Long Range AUV
With an ultimate range up to 1000 km, a maximum operating depth of 6000 m, and a generous payload capacity, Autosub6000 is well placed to become one of the world’s most capable deep diving Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Recently, Autosub6000 successfully completed its first deep water engineering trials, and in September 2008, fitted with a multibeam sonar, will carry out its first scie...
متن کاملUltrasonic Range Finding Sensor
During the research within the MAURO (Mobile Autonomous Robot) project (1995 – 1998) the research team from the 'Robot Control Systems' Laboratory has designed and realized an ultrasonic range finding sensor intended to be used in mobile robot navigation. The sensor has been successively improved and the design was adopted also by other research teams within the Automation Department being used...
