    This data accompanies the paper K Ishimoto, Gadêlha H, EA Gaffney, Smith DJ, Kirkman-Brown JC, Human sperm swimming in a high viscosity mucus analogue, Journal Theoretical Biology, 2018. It consists of two files (i) ws_HVM_flagella_pca.mat (ii) ws_HVM_flow_pca.mat File (i) is generated by standard principal component analysis algorithms applied to sperm flagellum data, which is detailed in the paper Smith DJ, Gaffney EA, Gadêlha H, Kapur N, Kirkman-Brown JC. Cell Motil Cytoskeleton. 2009 Apr;66(4):220-36. Bend propagation in the flagella of migrating human sperm, and its modulation by viscosity. File (ii) is generated by applying standard principal component analysis algorithms to the flow predicted for a virtual swimming sperm swimming with the PCA-reduced flagellum beat of dataset (i

    Hydrodynamic Clustering of Human Sperm in Viscoelastic Fluids

    Abstract We have numerically investigated sperm clustering behaviours, modelling cells as superpositions of regularised flow singularities, coarse-grained from experimentally obtained digital microscopy of human sperm, both in watery medium and a highly viscous–weakly elastic, methylcellulose medium. We find that the cell yaw and cell pulling dynamics inhibit clustering in low viscosity media. In contrast clustering is readily visible in simulations modelling sperm within a methylcellulose medium, in line with previous observations that bovine sperm clustering is much more prominent in a rheological polyacrylamide medium. Furthermore, the fine-scale details of sperm flagellar movement substantially impact large-scale collective behaviours, further motivating the need for the digital microscopy and characterization of sperm to understand their dynamics

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
