Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the physiological complexities of antibiotic lethality.
TL;DR: This review focuses on a less well-understood aspect of antibiotic action: the complex metabolic events that occur subsequent to the interaction of antibiotics with their molecular targets and play roles in antibiotic lethality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Reproduction in Classrooms and Schools
TL;DR: The authors discusses the emergence and development of social reproduction analyses of education and examines three main perspectives on reproduction: economic, cultural, and linguistic, arguing that schools are not institutions of equal opportunity but mechanisms for perpetuating social inequalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The redundant nature of locomotor optimization laws
TL;DR: A sagittal-plane model of the lower limb, which considered the possibility of antagonistic and synergistic muscle action and took account of the load-bearing roles of the cruciate ligaments, was applied to a dynamic analysis of level walking, predicted remarkably similar patterns of muscle activity over the gait cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing microbial consortia with defined social interactions.
TL;DR: In this article, the development of synthetic communities through social interaction engineering that combines modular pathway reconfiguration with model creation is presented, where six two-strain consortia are created, each possessing a unique mode of interaction, including commensalism, amensalisms, neutralism, cooperation, competition and predation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modular network for legged locomotion
TL;DR: It is shown that the standard gaits of a quadruped, including walk, trot and pace, cannot all be realized by a single four-cell network without introducing unwanted conjugacies that imply a dynamic equivalence between these gaits that seems inconsistent with observations.
