Maneuverable gait selection for a novel fish-inspired robot using a CMA-ES-assisted workflow.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Among underwater vehicles, fish-inspired designs are often selected for their efficient gaits; these designs, however, remain limited in their maneuverability, especially in confined spaces. This paper presents a new design for a fish-inspired robot ...

The Flow of Axonal Information Among Hippocampal Subregions: 1. Feed-Forward and Feedback Network Spatial Dynamics Underpinning Emergent Information Processing.

Frontiers in neural circuits
The tri-synaptic pathway in the mammalian hippocampus enables cognitive learning and memory. Despite decades of reports on anatomy and physiology, the functional architecture of the hippocampal network remains poorly understood in terms of the dynami...

Raptor: A Design of a Drain Inspection Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Frequent inspections are essential for drains to maintain proper function to ensure public health and safety. Robots have been developed to aid the drain inspection process. However, existing robots designed for drain inspection require improvements ...

Hybrid Improved Bird Swarm Algorithm with Extreme Learning Machine for Short-Term Power Prediction in Photovoltaic Power Generation System.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
When a photovoltaic (PV) system is connected to the electric power grid, the power system reliability may be exposed to a threat due to its inherent randomness and volatility. Consequently, predicting PV power generation becomes necessary for reasona...

The lower threshold as a unifying principle between Code Biology and Biosemiotics.

Bio Systems
Whether we emphasize the notion of 'sign' or the notion of 'code', either way the main interest of biosemiotics and Code Biology is the same, and we argue that the idea of the lower threshold is what still unifies these two groups. Code Biology conce...

Human and rat microsomal metabolites of N-tert-butoxycarbonylmethamphetamine and its urinary metabolites in rat.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: N-tert-Butoxycarbonylmethamphetamine (BocMA), a masked derivative of methamphetamine (MA), converts into MA under acidic condition and potentially acts as a precursor to MA following ingestion. To investigate the metabolism and excretion of ...

Transcorneal delivery of topically applied silver nanoparticles does not delay epithelial wound healing.

NanoImpact
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are a common antimicrobial additive for a variety of applications, including wound care. However, AgNPs often undergo dissolution resulting in release of silver ions, with subsequent toxicity to mammalian cells. The corne...

Improving Animal Monitoring Using Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and Deep Learning Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have been used widely to monitor animals because of their customizability, ease of operating, ability to access difficult to navigate places, and potential to minimize disturbance to animals. Au...

Comparing recurrent convolutional neural networks for large scale bird species classification.

Scientific reports
We present a deep learning approach towards the large-scale prediction and analysis of bird acoustics from 100 different bird species. We use spectrograms constructed on bird audio recordings from the Cornell Bird Challenge (CBC)2020 dataset, which i...

Elephants evolved strategies reducing the biomechanical complexity of their trunk.

Current biology : CB
The elephant proboscis (trunk), which functions as a muscular hydrostat with a virtually infinite number of degrees of freedom, is a spectacular organ for delicate to heavy object manipulation as well as social and sensory functions. Using high-resol...
