The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a highly invasive vector species.It is a proven vector of dengue and chikungunya viruses, with the potential to host a further 24 arboviruses.It has recently expanded its geographical range, threatening many countries in the Middle East, Mediterranean, Europe and North America.Here, we investigate the
A Comparative Study of Biologically Inspired Walking Gaits through Waypoint Navigation
This paper investigates the locomotion of a walking robot by delivering a comparative study of three different biologically inspired walking gaits, namely: tripod, ripple, and wave, in terms of ground slippage they experience while walking.The objective of this study is to identify the gait model which experiences the minimum slippage while walking
A Novel Method for Electrospinning Nanofibrous 3-D Structures
The fast and precise fabrication of three-dimensional (3-D) structures made of nanofibers is an important development trend in the electrospinning technique.This paper Socks describes a new and facile method of electrospinning to fabricate nanofibrous 3-D structures.The nanofibrous 3-D structures can be engineered to have the desired layer thicknes
Discal Cyst of the Lumbar Spine: Case Report of a Rare Clinical Entity
Being a rare clinical entity, discal cyst presents indistinguishably from other causes of lower back pain and radiculopathy.It is an extremely rare pathology with unclear pathogenesis, indeterminate natural history with no consensus on the ideal management of the condition.We report a rare case of discal cyst in a Gotu Kola patient who presented to
