Large regions of the littoral lake bottom along structural platforms in Lake Tanganyika, Africa, are carpeted with shell beds of late Holocene age. The viviparous gastropod Neothauma tanganyicense (Neothauma) is the lead ...
Homogeneous Vessels as Active Elements for Measuring Pressure
(2018-05-11)
This work investigates an approach to pressure sensor design in which a homogeneous vessel is used as the active element to sense pressure. The goal of this project was to synthesize a standard model for the design and ...
Biophysical mechanisms for the generation of electrosensory and communication signal in the weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens
(2018-05-03)
The weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens generates electric organ discharges (EODs) to navigate and communicate. The EODs are brief monophasic voltage pulses with brief inter-pulse intervals, resulting in a sinusoidal ...
