Dogs lap using acceleration-driven open pumping.
Dogs lap because they have incomplete cheeks and cannot suck. When lapping, a dog's tongue pulls a liquid column from the bath, suggesting that the hydrodynamics of column formation are critical to understanding how dogs drink. We measured lapping in 19 dogs and used the results to generate a physical model of the tongue's interaction with the air-fluid interface. These experiments help to expl...
متن کاملHow dogs lap: ingestion and intraoral transport in Canis familiaris.
It has recently been suggested that the mechanism for lifting liquid from a bowl into the oral cavity during lapping is fundamentally different in cats and dogs: cats use adhesion of liquid to the tongue tip while dogs 'scoop' with their backwardly curled tongue. High-speed light videos and X-ray videos show that on the contrary, both cats and dogs use the mechanism of adhesion. Liquid is trans...
متن کاملPumping angular momentum by driven chaotic scattering
Chaotic scattering with an internal degree of freedom and the possibility to generate directed transport of angular momentum is studied in a specific model, a magnetic dipole moving in a periodically modulated magnetic field confined to a compact region in space. We show that this system is an irregular scatterer in large parts of its parameter space. If in addition all spatio-temporal symmetri...
متن کاملSweet KIWI: Statistics-Driven OLAP Acceleration using Query Column Sets
KIWI is a SQL-on-Hadoop system enabling batch and interactive analytics for big data. In database systems, materialized views, stored pre-computed results for queries, are one of the most commonly used techniques to improve the query processing speed. However, the key challenge in using materialized views is maintaining their freshness as base data changes. This paper introduces a new approach ...
متن کاملTerahertz-driven linear electron acceleration
The cost, size and availability of electron accelerators are dominated by the achievable accelerating gradient. Conventional high-brightness radio-frequency accelerating structures operate with 30-50 MeV m(-1) gradients. Electron accelerators driven with optical or infrared sources have demonstrated accelerating gradients orders of magnitude above that achievable with conventional radio-frequen...
