Microplankton life histories revealed by holographic microscopy and deep learning.

eLife
The marine microbial food web plays a central role in the global carbon cycle. However, our mechanistic understanding of the ocean is biased toward its larger constituents, while rates and biomass fluxes in the microbial food web are mainly inferred ...

Improving the Reliability of Scale-Free Image Morphometrics in Applications with Minimally Restrained Livestock Using Projective Geometry and Unsupervised Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Advances in neural networks have garnered growing interest in applications of machine vision in livestock management, but simpler landmark-based approaches suitable for small, early stage exploratory studies still represent a critical stepping stone ...

Role of the caudal peduncle in a fish-inspired robotic model: how changing stiffness and angle of attack affects swimming performance.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In fish, the tail is a key element of propulsive anatomy that contributes to thrust during swimming. Fish possess the ability to alter tail stiffness, surface area and conformation. Specifically, the region at the base of the tail, the caudal peduncl...

G2Φnet: Relating genotype and biomechanical phenotype of tissues with deep learning.

PLoS computational biology
Many genetic mutations adversely affect the structure and function of load-bearing soft tissues, with clinical sequelae often responsible for disability or death. Parallel advances in genetics and histomechanical characterization provide significant ...

Efficient and Consistent Generation of Retinal Pigment Epithelium/Choroid Flatmounts from Human Eyes for Histological Analysis.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina are functionally and structurally connected tissues that work together to regulate light perception and vision. Proteins on the RPE apical surface are tightly associated with proteins on the photorecept...

Livestock Identification Using Deep Learning for Traceability.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Farm livestock identification and welfare assessment using non-invasive digital technology have gained interest in agriculture in the last decade, especially for accurate traceability. This study aimed to develop a face recognition system for dairy f...

Human-muscle-inspired single fibre actuator with reversible percolation.

Nature nanotechnology
Artificial muscles are indispensable components for next-generation robotics capable of mimicking sophisticated movements of living systems. However, an optimal combination of actuation parameters, including strain, stress, energy density and high me...

Analysis of suction-based gripping strategies in wildlife towards future evolutions of the obstetrical suction cup.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The design of obstetrical suction cups used for vacuum assisted delivery has not substantially evolved through history despite of its inherent limitations. The associated challenges concern both the decrease of risk of soft tissue damage and failure ...

Public sentiment on the global outbreak of monkeypox: an unsupervised machine learning analysis of 352,182 twitter posts.

Public health
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to study the public's sentiments on the current monkeypox outbreaks via an unsupervised machine learning analysis of social media posts.

A robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector.

Nature communications
Liquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for microscale, reagents are expensive and sample preparation is difficult....
