Texture recognition and localization in amorphous robotic skin.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We present a soft robotic skin that can recognize and localize texture using a distributed set of sensors and computational elements that are inspired by the Pacinian corpuscle, the fast adapting, uniformly spaced mechanoreceptor with a wide receptiv...

Knockdown of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase results in reduced resistance to buprofezin in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (fallén).

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) plays an important role in cytochrome P450 function, and CPR knockdown in several insects leads to increased susceptibility to insecticides. However, a putative CPR gene has not yet been fully characterized in th...

The CellML Metadata Framework 2.0 Specification.

Journal of integrative bioinformatics
The CellML Metadata Framework 2.0 is a modular framework that describes how semantic annotations should be made about mathematical models encoded in the CellML (www.cellml.org) format, and their elements. In addition to the Core specification, there ...

Slithering towards autonomy: a self-contained soft robotic snake platform with integrated curvature sensing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft robotic snakes promise significant advantages in achieving traveling curvature waves with a reduced number of active segments as well as allowing for safe and adaptive interaction with the environment and human users. However, current soft robot...

An Inversion Scheme for Hybrid Fluorescence Molecular Tomography Using a Fuzzy Inference System.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
The imaging performance of fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) improves when information from the underlying anatomy is incorporated into the inversion scheme, in the form of priors. The requirement for incorporation of priors has recently driven...

Corticostriatal response selection in sentence production: Insights from neural network simulation with reservoir computing.

Brain and language
Language production requires selection of the appropriate sentence structure to accommodate the communication goal of the speaker - the transmission of a particular meaning. Here we consider event meanings, in terms of predicates and thematic roles, ...

Improved Quantum Artificial Fish Algorithm Application to Distributed Network Considering Distributed Generation.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
An improved quantum artificial fish swarm algorithm (IQAFSA) for solving distributed network programming considering distributed generation is proposed in this work. The IQAFSA based on quantum computing which has exponential acceleration for heurist...

A Context-Aware Application to Increase Elderly Users Compliance with Physical Rehabilitation Exercises at Home via Animatronic Biofeedback.

Journal of medical systems
Biofeedback from physical rehabilitation exercises has proved to lead to faster recovery, better outcomes, and increased patient motivation. In addition, it allows the physical rehabilitation processes carried out at the clinic to be complemented wit...

A tree-like Bayesian structure learning algorithm for small-sample datasets from complex biological model systems.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: There are increasing efforts to bring high-throughput systems biology techniques to bear on complex animal model systems, often with a goal of learning about underlying regulatory network structures (e.g., gene regulatory networks). Howev...

Understanding Emergent Dynamics: Using a Collective Activity Coordinate of a Neural Network to Recognize Time-Varying Patterns.

Neural computation
In higher animals, complex and robust behaviors are produced by the microscopic details of large structured ensembles of neurons. I describe how the emergent computational dynamics of a biologically based neural network generates a robust natural sol...
