    • Mechanical analysis of avian feet 

      Backus, Spencer B.; Sustaita, Diego; Odhner, Lael U. (2015)
      The grasping capability of birds’ feet is a hallmark of their evolution, but the mechanics of avian foot function are not well understood. Two evolutionary trends that contribute to the mechanical complexity of the avian ...
    • The mechanics of hyperactivation in adhered human sperm 

      Ooi, E. H. (2014)
      Hyperactivation is an important phenomenon exhibited by mammalian sperm during the process of acquiring fertilization capacity. The majority of studies have focused on incubation-induced hyperactivation in non-human species, ...
