Abstract: Abstract The possibility for hydrokinetic energy harvesting from small water streams by using compliant surfaces is considered. The basis of the proposed idea is the deliberate bifurcation of a water stream into two streams separated… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Leg stiffness, commonly estimated as the ‘compression’ of a defined leg element in response to a load, has long been used to characterize terrestrial locomotion. This study investigated how goats adjust the stiffness of… read more here.
