Typically, insects which generate allergic responses are either stinging insects (wasps, bees, hornets and ants ) or biting insects (mosquitoes, ticks). Stinging insects inject venom int... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption%20architecture | Subsumption architecture is a reactive robotic architecture heavily associated with behavior-based robotics which was very popular in the 1980s and 90s. The term was introduced by Rodney Brooks and colleagues in 1986. Subsumption has been widely influential in autonomous robotics and elsewhere in real-time AI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidalysin | Candidalysin is a cytolytic 31-amino acid α-helical amphipathic peptide toxin secreted by the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans. This toxin is a fungal example of a classical virulence factor. Hyphal morphogenesis in C. albicans is associated with damage to host epithelial cells; during this process Candidalysin ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting | Sprouting is the natural process by which seeds or spores germinate and put out shoots, and already established plants produce new leaves or buds, or other structures experience further growth.
In the field of nutrition, the term signifies the practice of germinating seeds (for example, mung beans or sunflower seeds) ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon%20nanowire | Silicon nanowires, also referred to as SiNWs, are a type of semiconductor nanowire most often formed from a silicon precursor by etching of a solid or through catalyzed growth from a vapor or liquid phase. Such nanowires have promising applications in lithium ion batteries, thermoelectrics and sensors. Initial synthesi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingham%20plastic | In materials science, a Bingham plastic is a viscoplastic material that behaves as a rigid body at low stresses but flows as a viscous fluid at high stress. It is named after Eugene C. Bingham who proposed its mathematical form.
It is used as a common mathematical model of mud flow in drilling engineering, and in the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwittermicin%20A | Zwittermicin A is an antibiotic that has been identified from the bacterium Bacillus cereus UW85. It is a molecule of interest to agricultural industry because it has the potential to suppress plant disease due to its broad spectrum activity against certain gram positive and gram negative prokaryotic micro-organisms. T... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricochet | A ricochet ( ; ) is a rebound, bounce, or skip off a surface, particularly in the case of a projectile. Most ricochets are caused by accident and while the force of the deflection decelerates the projectile, it can still be energetic and almost as dangerous as before the deflection. The possibility of ricochet is one o... |

History
Dex-net was developed by University of California, Berkeley professor Ken Goldberg and graduate student Jeff Mahler.
Design
Dex-net includes a high-resolution 3-D sensor and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak%20power%20output | Peak power output (PPO), also known as "peak work rate" is a common measure of exercise intensity. For example, researchers may ask subjects to complete an incremental exercise test where VO2max is measured while the person cycles at increasingly difficult power generation levels as measured by a cycle ergometer.
