Comparing context-dependent call sequences employing machine learning methods: an indication of syntactic structure of greater horseshoe bats.

The Journal of experimental biology
For analysis of vocal syntax, accurate classification of call sequence structures in different behavioural contexts is essential. However, an effective, intelligent program for classifying call sequences from numerous recorded sound files is still la...

Scaling of the performance of insect-inspired passive-pitching flapping wings.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Flapping flight using passive pitch regulation is a commonly used mode of thrust and lift generation in insects and has been widely emulated in flying vehicles because it allows for simple implementation of the complex kinematics associated with flap...

Predicting fish kills and toxic blooms in an intensive mariculture site in the Philippines using a machine learning model.

The Science of the total environment
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) that produce toxins and those that lead to fish kills are global problems that appear to be increasing in frequency and expanding in area. One way to help mitigate their impacts on people's health and livelihoods is to dev...

Machine learning algorithms, bull genetic information, and imbalanced datasets used in abortion incidence prediction models for Iranian Holstein dairy cattle.

Preventive veterinary medicine
The ability to predict abortion incidence, especially in regions with high abortion rates (e.g., Iran), helps improve reproductive performance and, thereby, dairy farm profitability. The objective of this study was to predict pregnancy loss in Irania...

Structured sequence processing and combinatorial binding: neurobiologically and computationally informed hypotheses.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Understanding how the brain forms representations of structured information distributed in time is a challenging endeavour for the neuroscientific community, requiring computationally and neurobiologically informed approaches. The neural mechanisms f...

Self-Assembled Polyurethane Capsules with Selective Antimicrobial Activity against Gram-Negative .

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
This article reports the antimicrobial activity of two segmented amphiphilic polyurethanes, PU-1 and PU-2, containing a primary or secondary amine group, respectively. In acidic water, intrachain H-bonding among the urethanes followed by hierarchical...

Flavonoid bioactive compounds of hawthorn extract can promote growth, regulate electrocardiogram waves, and improve cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens.

Poultry science
The effect of orally administered hawthorn flavonoid extract (HFE) on growth, electrocardiographic waves, and cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens reared at high altitude (2,100 m above sea level) was examined. A total of 225 one-day...

Transcriptome analysis and identification of genes associated with chicken sperm storage duration.

Poultry science
The sperm storage tubules located in the mucosal folds of the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) are the primary site of sperm storage in chicken hens after natural mating or artificial insemination (AI). The short-term sperm storage (24 h after mating or A...

Research Note: Longitudinal monitoring of chicken houses in a commercial layer farm for antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli with special reference to plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance.

Poultry science
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes located on conjugative plasmids can be transferred to other bacteria in the absence of antimicrobial selective pressure. To elucidate the prevalence of resistance, including PMQR in an egg-producing ...

Deep learning and taphonomy: high accuracy in the classification of cut marks made on fleshed and defleshed bones using convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
Accurate identification of bone surface modifications (BSM) is crucial for the taphonomic understanding of archaeological and paleontological sites. Critical interpretations of when humans started eating meat and animal fat or when they started using...
