Summary[edit] Description: English: One of a series of pictures illustrating how Cornu aspersum locomotion over dry bricks economises on wasted mucus by lifting parts of the ventral surface out of contact with the substrate, so that it leaves a trail of disconnected dabs of mucus instead of a continuous trail. On a wet surface the trail is continuous. Presumably the continuous trail is energetically advantageous on a wet surface, or the snail would used the same gait on both types of surface. Many other terrestrial Gastropoda use the same strategy. Date: 22 October 2014, 08:55:23. Source: Own work. Author: JonRichfield.

Summary[edit] Description: English: (Fig. 4) - Intimate Contact Induced Surface Separation (ICISS)(1) is a novel method invented and published by its author Adrian Toader-Williams of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV), Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The snails are introduced into a microwave oven exposed to 800W of microwave power at 2450 MHz frequency for a period of time dependent on the quantity of snails exposed at once. ICISS is proved during extensive experiments to quickly inhibit terrestrial snails’ nervous system in order to reduce their pain and suffering and to facilitate the complete meat removal from the shell. Upon exposure to microwave radiation, the meat will be easily and completely extracted from the shell obtaining smooth surfaces.
