About the Cover
Cover picture: Simulation of jumping in a realistic frog skeletal model (see Kargo, Nelson and Rome, pp. 1683-1702). Our realistic skeletal model of the frog Rana pipiens consisted of the bones, the joints and the mass and moment of inertia of body segments. In this forward dynamic simulation, we imposed the in vivo torque pattern around the joints, causing the acceleration and movement of the model. Here we used frog model 3 (please see text) and show the model at three time points from the rear (left) and from the side (right). Note that the forelimbs were not part of the model, but their approximate position has been added for illustrative purposes. The cover layout is by Dr Evan Goldman.
