Deep convolutional network for animal sound classification and source attribution using dual audio recordings.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
This paper introduces an end-to-end feedforward convolutional neural network that is able to reliably classify the source and type of animal calls in a noisy environment using two streams of audio data after being trained on a dataset of modest size ...

Telesurgery prospects in delivering healthcare in remote areas.

JPMA. The Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association
Feasibility and safety of performing remote surgery was first established by performing surgeries on pigs in later part of the 20th century. The first tele-robotic remote surgical system was set up in Canada in 2003 between two hospitals 400 kilometr...

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks in Population Genetic Inference.

Molecular biology and evolution
Population-scale genomic data sets have given researchers incredible amounts of information from which to infer evolutionary histories. Concomitant with this flood of data, theoretical and methodological advances have sought to extract information fr...

Polarized skylight-based heading measurements: a bio-inspired approach.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Many insects such as desert ants, crickets, locusts, dung beetles, bees and monarch butterflies have been found to extract their navigation cues from the regular pattern of the linearly polarized skylight. These species are equipped with ommatidia in...

Predictive analysis across spatial scales links zoonotic malaria to deforestation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
The complex transmission ecologies of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases pose challenges to their control, especially in changing landscapes. Human incidence of zoonotic malaria ( Plasmodium knowlesi) is associated with deforestation although mechani...

"She Had a Smile on Her Face as Wide as the Great Australian Bite": A Qualitative Examination of Family Perceptions of a Therapeutic Robot and a Plush Toy.

The Gerontologist
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recent years have seen social robotic pets introduced as a means of treating behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, and many show promising potential. In this study, we sought to explore family members' percepti...

ECO, the Evidence & Conclusion Ontology: community standard for evidence information.

Nucleic acids research
The Evidence and Conclusion Ontology (ECO) contains terms (classes) that describe types of evidence and assertion methods. ECO terms are used in the process of biocuration to capture the evidence that supports biological assertions (e.g. gene product...

Building a livestock genetic and genomic information knowledgebase through integrative developments of Animal QTLdb and CorrDB.

Nucleic acids research
Successful development of biological databases requires accommodation of the burgeoning amounts of data from high-throughput genomics pipelines. As the volume of curated data in Animal QTLdb (https://www.animalgenome.org/QTLdb) increases exponentiall...
