The allelopathic effect and safety evaluation of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzalacetone on Microcystis aeruginosa.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) has been a serious problem in recent years, because of large quantities of cyanobacterial in eutrophic water. We studied the effects of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzalacetone (DBL) and other four compounds (vanillic acid, ferulic acid...

Fuzzy Object Skeletonization: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Skeletonization offers a compact representation of an object while preserving important topological and geometrical features. Literature on skeletonization of binary objects is quite mature. However, challenges involved with skeletonization of fuzzy ...

A Method Based on Artificial Intelligence To Fully Automatize The Evaluation of Bovine Blastocyst Images.

Scientific reports
Morphological analysis is the standard method of assessing embryo quality; however, its inherent subjectivity tends to generate discrepancies among evaluators. Using genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks (ANNs), we developed a new method ...

A robotic system for researching social integration in honeybees.

PloS one
In this paper, we present a novel robotic system developed for researching collective social mechanisms in a biohybrid society of robots and honeybees. The potential for distributed coordination, as observed in nature in many different animal species...

Global and local excitation and inhibition shape the dynamics of the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical pathway.

Scientific reports
The cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) pathway is a brain circuit that controls movement execution, habit formation and reward. Hyperactivity in the CSTC pathway is involved in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), a neuropsychiatric disorder ch...

Leg-local neural mechanisms for searching and learning enhance robotic locomotion.

Biological cybernetics
Adapting motor output based on environmental forces is critical for successful locomotion in the real world. Arthropods use at least two neural mechanisms to adjust muscle activation while walking based on detected forces. Mechanism 1 uses negative f...

Blind Nonnegative Source Separation Using Biological Neural Networks.

Neural computation
Blind source separation-the extraction of independent sources from a mixture-is an important problem for both artificial and natural signal processing. Here, we address a special case of this problem when sources (but not the mixing matrix) are known...

Tegotae-based decentralised control scheme for autonomous gait transition of snake-like robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Snakes change their locomotion patterns in response to the environment. This ability is a motivation for developing snake-like robots with highly adaptive functionality. In this study, a decentralised control scheme of snake-like robots that exhibite...

A flight-phase terrain following control strategy for stable and robust hopping of a one-legged robot under large terrain variations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This work demonstrates a simple, once per step, flight-control method for robots running on a planar unknown rough-terrain environment. The robot used to exemplify these control strategies is the ParkourBot, a spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP)-b...

Vertical zonation and functional diversity of fish assemblages revealed by ROV videos at oil platforms in The Gulf.

Journal of fish biology
An assessment of vertical distribution, diel migration, taxonomic and functional diversity of fishes was carried out at offshore platforms in The (Arabian-Iranian-Persian) Gulf. Video footage was recorded at the Al Shaheen oil field between 2007 and ...
