Effects of boundaries for high Reynolds number artificial swimmers by Jean François Boudet, Michel Bergmann, Angello Iollo, Hamid Kellay

“…The main reason why the two boundaries affect the swimming differently is the alignment of the fish robots at the wall: for the impermeable boundary the fish robots align with a smaller angle to the wall while for the porous case, the fish robots align with a larger angle at the wall allowing the formation of linear clusters. We carry out numerical simulations of model fish in three dimensions to examine how such experimental results can be understood. …”

Fast-track analysis of beetroot using the liquid generated during the cooking processOpen Data is available at under the name “UBU-Polymers Research Group 02062025″. by María Gaona-Ruiz, Saúl Vallejos, Ana Rodríguez, Miriam Trigo-López, Celia Carrillo

“…Results showed that beetroot liquid reliably indicated changes in bioactive compounds and bioactivity under increasing intensities of thermal treatment, with an identical betalain and polyphenol profile to that obtained via mass spectrometry in extracts. A linear regression model enabled the prediction of beetroot functionality, reducing pre-quantification time from 105 min to 5 min and eliminating the need for 10 mL of solvent per gram of sample. …”

A Fourier Fitting Method for Floating Vehicle Trajectory Lines by Yun Shuai, Pengcheng Liu, Hao Han

“…Through Fourier transformation, the data are converted from the time domain to the frequency domain, and trajectory points are fitted in the frequency spectrum domain, transforming discrete trajectory points into time-continuous linear elements. By referencing the minimum visually discernible distance and velocity precision requirements at a specific scale, thresholds for positional and velocity errors are set. …”
