These sensory cues included load alternation and leg positioning with kinematics of the hips, knees, and ankles timed to the step cycle in a physiologic pattern predetermined by the robotic exoskeleton system.
These results indicate that our model can explain the main observed features of the grooming progression, including the sequential cleaning of body parts and the frequent alternations between leg rubbing and body part cleaning.
In order to simulate the alternations, we considered leg rubbing to be a member of the same suppression hierarchy with the other cleaning modules and ran the model simulation based on two premises.
Like the later Balanchine-Stravinsky work "Agon," this ballet has an air that stays experimental, as when in the third pas de trois the two women, in profile and in alternation, lower and raise their legs in arabesque.
Throughout Menagerie's history, only one client ever asked for a suspicious alternation – a zipper between the legs – which Dee agreed to at $1,000 extra, adding that if he ever down the road needed repairs (otherwise offered at $40/hour), she wouldn't work on it, "because that's gross".
The two kinesin heads are connected to the tail via a 'neck linker' region, and they advance along the microtubule in strict alternation, similar to the way our legs move when walking.
Our model explains how the sequential selection of cleaning modules occurs, but could it also explain the frequent alternations between cleaning the body parts and leg rubbing that occur throughout the grooming progression?
4) I felt blind-sided when, in the Results, I was told that "the frequent alternations between cleaning the body parts and leg rubbing … are an important and prominent feature in normal grooming behavior".
The simulation also produced the cyclic alternations between cleaning of a body part and leg rubbing that we observed in our empirically obtained ethograms of wild-type flies.
"He runs his tongue and lips over my breasts, the back of my neck, my toes, my stomach, the countless treasures between my legs, oh the sheer ecstasy of lips and tongues on genitals, either simultaneously or in alternation, never will I tire of that silvery fluidity, my sex swimming in joy like a fish in water... ......
