Endocrine disruptor identification and multitoxicity level assessment of organic chemicals: An example of multiple machine learning models.

Journal of hazardous materials
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pollution is a major global environmental issue. Assessing the multiple toxic effects of EDCs is key to managing their risks. This study successfully developed an EDCs classification and recognition model based o...

Automated identification of Chagas disease vectors using AlexNet pre-trained convolutional neural networks.

Medical and veterinary entomology
The 158 bug species that make up the subfamily Triatominae are the potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Despite recent progress in developing a picture-based automated system for identification of triatomin...

Anxiety in aquatics: Leveraging machine learning models to predict adult zebrafish behavior.

Neuroscience
Accurate analysis of anxiety behaviors in animal models is pivotal for advancing neuroscience research and drug discovery. This study compares the potential of DeepLabCut, ZebraLab, and machine learning models to analyze anxiety-related behaviors in ...

Voice Analysis in Dogs with Deep Learning: Development of a Fully Automatic Voice Analysis System for Bioacoustics Studies.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Extracting behavioral information from animal sounds has long been a focus of research in bioacoustics, as sound-derived data are crucial for understanding animal behavior and environmental interactions. Traditional methods, which involve manual revi...

Multibody system dynamics for bio-robotic design and simulation based on inching-locomotion caterpillar's gait: MBD-ILAR method.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) inspire the design of 'inch-worm' robots with biomimicry features, that can be adapted to different environments, such as natural, man-made, or other planets. Therefore, this work defines a novel mathematical me...

Adapting to time: Why nature may have evolved a diverse set of neurons.

PLoS computational biology
Brains have evolved diverse neurons with varying morphologies and dynamics that impact temporal information processing. In contrast, most neural network models use homogeneous units that vary only in spatial parameters (weights and biases). To explor...

Neural networks with optimized single-neuron adaptation uncover biologically plausible regularization.

PLoS computational biology
Neurons in the brain have rich and adaptive input-output properties. Features such as heterogeneous f-I curves and spike frequency adaptation are known to place single neurons in optimal coding regimes when facing changing stimuli. Yet, it is still u...

Advanced vision transformers and open-set learning for robust mosquito classification: A novel approach to entomological studies.

PLoS computational biology
Mosquito-related diseases pose a significant threat to global public health, necessitating efficient and accurate mosquito classification for effective surveillance and control. This work presents an innovative approach to mosquito classification by ...

Functional MRGPRX2 expression on peripheral blood-derived human mast cells increases at low seeding density and is suppressed by interleukin-9 and fetal bovine serum.

Frontiers in immunology
Primary human mast cells (MC) obtained through culturing of blood-derived MC progenitors are the preferred model for the study of MRGPRX2- IgE-mediated MC activation. In order to assess the impact of culture conditions on functional MRGPRX2 express...
