Dynamic thumb localization and its adaptation: quantification with a novel robotic task.

Experimental brain research
The thumb plays a crucial role in hand function, yet its proprioceptive abilities remain poorly understood. Here we quantified dynamic thumb localization ability, as well as how this ability adapts to a perturbation, in unimpaired participants. For t...

Quantifying the contributions of climate change and adaptation to mortality from unprecedented extreme heat events.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Understanding the mortality effects of the most extreme heat events is central to climate change risk analysis and adaptation decision-making. Accurate representation of these impacts requires accounting for the effects of prolonged sequences of hot ...

Temperature adaptation in structure and function in lactate dehydrogenase-A reflects convergent evolution in a few key protein regions.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Adaptive differences in the thermal stabilities of enzyme structure and function play critical roles in establishing the thermal optima and limits of all organisms. Thus, understanding the mechanisms underlying these adaptations can yield insights in...

Source-free domain adaptation for SSVEP-based brain-computer interfaces.

Journal of neural engineering
Steady-state visually evoked potential-based Brain-computer interface (BCI) spellers assist individuals experiencing speech difficulties by enabling them to communicate at a fast rate. However, achieving a high information transfer rate (ITR) in most...

Genomic Identification and Validation of Candidate Genes Associated with Alkalinity Tolerance in Exopalaemon carinicauda.

Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.)
China harbors extensive saline-alkaline water resources with considerable potential for aquaculture development. However, their utilization is constrained by high pH, elevated carbonate alkalinity, and complex ionic composition. Exopalaemon carinicau...

Environmental adaptations in metagenomes revealed by deep learning.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool in the analysis of biological data, including the analysis of large metagenome data. However, its application remains limited due to high computational costs, model complexity, and difficulty e...

Modeling impacts of climate-induced yield variability and adaptations on wheat and maize in a sub-tropical monsoon climate - using fuzzy logic.

Scientific reports
Climate change is causing more frequent and extraordinary extreme weather events that are already negatively affecting crop production. There is a need for improved climate risk assessment by developing smart adaptation strategies for sustainable fut...

Unsupervised learning reveals rapid gait adaptation after leg loss and regrowth in spiders.

The Journal of experimental biology
Many invertebrates voluntarily lose (autotomize) limbs during antagonistic encounters, and some regenerate functional replacements. Because limb loss can have severe consequences on individual fitness, it is likely subject to significant selective pr...

Pollen morphology, deep learning, phylogenetics, and the evolution of environmental adaptations in Podocarpus.

The New phytologist
Podocarpus pollen morphology is shaped by both phylogenetic history and the environment. We analyzed the relationship between pollen traits quantified using deep learning and environmental factors within a comparative phylogenetic framework. We inves...

Exploring the evolutionary adaptations of the unique seahorse tail's muscle architecture through modelling and robotic prototyping.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Seahorses possess a unique tail muscle architecture that enables efficient grasping and anchoring onto objects. This prehensile ability is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to resist currents, cling to mates during reproduction and remain...
