This suggests beak adaptations for strength don’t necessarily reduce efficiency on easier foods.

More zoetrope plots, flipped the animation and added a few more rings. Next is to use some big paper to get a proper 12” plot 
Forgive the recent apparent obsession (I’d call it a fascination) with the #cycloid but I’ve just discovered something I’d not heard of before. It is also called a #TautochroneCurve or #Isochrone curve, which means that a particle starting from any location on the curve will get to the #MinimumPoint at precisely the same time as a particle starting at any other point.
Interestingly, it is also the curve that solves the #Brachistochrone problem, which means that starting at a cusp on the inverted curve (maximum height), a frictionless ball will roll under uniform gravity in minimum time from the start to any other point on the curve, even beating the straight line path.
Imagine a circular wheel rolling, without skidding, on a flat, horizontal surface. The #locus of any given point on its #circumference is called a #cycloid. It is a #periodic #curve with #period over the #circle's circumference and has #cusps whenever the point is in contact with the surface (the two sides of the curve are tangentially vertical at that point).
The #Kinematics #Dress represents a new approach to manufacturing which tightly integrates design, simulation, and digital fabrication to create complex, customized products.
Composed of thousands of unique interlocking components, each dress is 3D printed as a single folded piece and requires no assembly.
Bodies are 3-dimensional but clothing is traditionally made from flat material that is cut and painstakingly pieced together.
In contrast, Kinematics garments are created in 3D, directly from body scans and require absolutely no assembly.
We employ a smart folding strategy to compress Kinematics garments into a smaller form for efficient fabrication.
By folding the garments prior to printing them, we can make complex structures larger than a 3D printer that unfold into their intended shape.
By using public data from the #SDSS, #researchers have analyzed the #kinematics of #satellitepairs around #massivegalaxy groups. Findings suggest that the #universe may be younger than predicted by the #LCDM model with #Planck #cosmologicalparameters.
