Enhanced detection performance in electrosense through capacitive sensing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Weakly electric fish emit an AC electric field into the water and use thousands of sensors on the skin to detect field perturbations due to surrounding objects. The fish's active electrosensory system allows them to navigate and hunt, using separate ...

Determination of urea in milk based on N-bromosuccinimide-dichlorofluorescein postchemiluminescence method.

Journal of food and drug analysis
A new postchemiluminescence (PCL) reaction was observed when urea was injected into the reaction mixture after the CL reaction of N-bromosuccinimide and dichlorofluorescein. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed based on the studies of the CL ki...

Identification of informative genes and pathways using an improved penalized support vector machine with a weighting scheme.

Computers in biology and medicine
Incorporation of pathway knowledge into microarray analysis has brought better biological interpretation of the analysis outcome. However, most pathway data are manually curated without specific biological context. Non-informative genes could be incl...

Supervised Learning for Detection of Duplicates in Genomic Sequence Databases.

PloS one
MOTIVATION: First identified as an issue in 1996, duplication in biological databases introduces redundancy and even leads to inconsistency when contradictory information appears. The amount of data makes purely manual de-duplication impractical, and...

Perception of mind and dehumanization: Human, animal, or machine?

International journal of psychology : Journal international de psychologie
Dehumanization is reached through several approaches, including the attribute-based model of mind perception and the metaphor-based model of dehumanization. We performed two studies to find different (de)humanized images for three targets: Profession...

Anticipation: Beyond synthetic biology and cognitive robotics.

Bio Systems
The aim of this paper is to propose that current robotic technologies cannot have intentional states any more than is feasible within the sensorimotor variant of embodied cognition. It argues that anticipation is an emerging concept that can provide ...

A neural network-based method for spectral distortion correction in photon counting x-ray CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Spectral CT using a photon counting x-ray detector (PCXD) shows great potential for measuring material composition based on energy dependent x-ray attenuation. Spectral CT is especially suited for imaging with K-edge contrast agents to address the ot...

Development and characterization of muscle-based actuators for self-stabilizing swimming biorobots.

Lab on a chip
Biorobots that harness the power generated by living muscle cells have recently gained interest as an alternative to traditional mechanical robots. However, robust and reliable operation of these biorobots still remains a challenge. Toward this end, ...

Modelling with ANIMO: between fuzzy logic and differential equations.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Computational support is essential in order to reason on the dynamics of biological systems. We have developed the software tool ANIMO (Analysis of Networks with Interactive MOdeling) to provide such computational support and allow insigh...

Switched Fuzzy-PD Control of Contact Forces in Robotic Microbiomanipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Force sensing and control are of paramount importance in robotic micromanipulation. A contact force regulator capable of accurately applying mechanical stimuli to a live Drosophila larva could greatly facilitate mechanobiology research on Drosophila ...
