Mapping global risk of bat and rodent borne disease outbreaks to anticipate emerging threats.

Scientific reports
Future epidemics and/or pandemics may likely arise from zoonotic viruses with bat- and rodent-borne pathogens being among the prime candidates. To improve preparedness and prevention strategies, we predicted the global distribution of bat- and rodent...

Deep learning-based automated detection and multiclass classification of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma mansoni eggs in fecal smear images.

Scientific reports
In this work, we developed an automated system for the detection and classification of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Schistosoma (S.) mansoni eggs in microscopic images of fecal smears. We assembled an STH and S. mansoni dataset comprising ove...

Keypoint-based modeling reveals fine-grained body pose tuning in superior temporal sulcus neurons.

Nature communications
Body pose and orientation serve as vital visual signals in primate non-verbal social communication. Leveraging deep learning algorithms that extract body poses from videos of behaving monkeys, applied to a monkey avatar, we investigated neural tuning...

Optimizing drone-based pollination method by using efficient target detection and path planning for complex durian orchards.

Scientific reports
Durian is a valuable tropical fruit whose pollination heavily relies on bats and nocturnal insects. However, environmental degradation and pesticide usage have reduced insect populations, leading to inefficient natural pollination. This study propose...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems for improved mastitis classification and diagnosis.

Scientific reports
For modeling dairy cattle data, fuzzy logic offers the capability to manage uncertainty, enhance accuracy, facilitate informed decision-making, and optimize resource allocation. A critical aspect of dairy cattle production is the modeling of mastitis...

Machine learning-assisted decoding of temporal transcriptional dynamics via fluorescent timer.

Nature communications
Investigating the temporal dynamics of gene expression is crucial for understanding gene regulation across various biological processes. Using the Fluorescent Timer protein, the Timer-of-cell-kinetics-and-activity system enables analysis of transcrip...

Stable recurrent dynamics in heterogeneous neuromorphic computing systems using excitatory and inhibitory plasticity.

Nature communications
Many neural computations emerge from self-sustained patterns of activity in recurrent neural circuits, which rely on balanced excitation and inhibition. Neuromorphic electronic circuits represent a promising approach for implementing the brain's comp...

Analysis of 2-dimensional regional differences in the peripapillary scleral fibroblast cytoskeleton of normotensive and hypertensive mouse eyes.

Scientific reports
These studies aimed to study the mechanisms of glaucomatous peripapillary scleral (PPS) remodeling by investigating IOP-induced changes in fibroblast actin-collagen alignment and nuclear morphology in mouse PPS. Cryosections from the optic nerve head...

Application of wings interferential patterns (WIPs) and deep learning (DL) to classify some Culex. spp (Culicidae) of medical or veterinary importance.

Scientific reports
In this paper, we test the possibility of using Wing Interference Patterns (WIPs) and deep learning (DL) for the identification of Culex mosquitoes species to evaluate the extent to which a generic method could be developed for surveying Dipteran ins...

Automatic cattle identification system based on color point cloud using hybrid PointNet++ Siamese network.

Scientific reports
Cattle health monitoring and management systems are essential for farmers and veterinarians, as traditional manual health checks can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. A critical aspect of such systems is accurate cattle identification, which ena...
