Development of a self-healing soft pneumatic actuator: a first concept.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the intrinsic softness and the corresponding embodied intelligence principles, soft pneumatic actuators (SPA) have been developed, which ensure safe interaction in unstructured, unknown environments. Due to their intrinsic softness, these...

Characterization of running with compliant curved legs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Running with compliant curved legs involves the progression of the center of pressure, the changes of both the leg's stiffness and effective rest length, and the shift of the location of the maximum stress point along the leg. These phenomena are pro...

PredSTP: a highly accurate SVM based model to predict sequential cystine stabilized peptides.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Numerous organisms have evolved a wide range of toxic peptides for self-defense and predation. Their effective interstitial and macro-environmental use requires energetic and structural stability. One successful group of these peptides in...

Application of comparative biology in GO functional annotation: the mouse model.

Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society
The Gene Ontology (GO) is an important component of modern biological knowledge representation with great utility for computational analysis of genomic and genetic data. The Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC) consists of a large team of contributors incl...

A k-mer-based barcode DNA classification methodology based on spectral representation and a neural gas network.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVES: In this paper, an alignment-free method for DNA barcode classification that is based on both a spectral representation and a neural gas network for unsupervised clustering is proposed.

Computational assignment of cell-cycle stage from single-cell transcriptome data.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
The transcriptome of single cells can reveal important information about cellular states and heterogeneity within populations of cells. Recently, single-cell RNA-sequencing has facilitated expression profiling of large numbers of single cells in para...

The Behavioral Space of Zebrafish Locomotion and Its Neural Network Analog.

PloS one
How simple is the underlying control mechanism for the complex locomotion of vertebrates? We explore this question for the swimming behavior of zebrafish larvae. A parameter-independent method, similar to that used in studies of worms and flies, is a...

A tuberculosis ontology for host systems biology.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
A major hurdle facing tuberculosis (TB) investigators who want to utilize a rapidly growing body of data from both systems biology approaches and omics technologies is the lack of a standard vocabulary for data annotation and reporting. Lacking a mea...

A Novel Feature Extraction Approach Using Window Function Capturing and QPSO-SVM for Enhancing Electronic Nose Performance.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, a novel feature extraction approach which can be referred to as moving window function capturing (MWFC) has been proposed to analyze signals of an electronic nose (E-nose) used for detecting types of infectious pathogens in rat wounds....

Controlling legs for locomotion-insights from robotics and neurobiology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Walking is the most common terrestrial form of locomotion in animals. Its great versatility and flexibility has led to many attempts at building walking machines with similar capabilities. The control of walking is an active research area both in neu...
