Tail use improves performance on soft substrates in models of early vertebrate land locomotors.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
In the evolutionary transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment, early tetrapods faced the challenges of terrestrial locomotion on flowable substrates, such as sand and mud of variable stiffness and incline. The morphology and range of mo...

Modeling the thermotaxis behavior of C.elegans based on the artificial neural network.

Bioengineered
ASBTRACT This research aims at modeling the thermotaxis behavior of C.elegans which is a kind of nematode with full clarified neuronal connections. Firstly, this work establishes the motion model which can perform the undulatory locomotion with turni...

Sichuan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Sichuan University. Medical science edition
OBJECTIVES: To identify the site that emulsified sevoflurane influences in the nerve system.

[The Effects of All-trans Retinoic Acid on the Expression of Inflammatory Cytokines and Cartilage Damage Related Protease in Rats with Collagen Induced Arthritis].

Sichuan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Sichuan University. Medical science edition
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on arthritis and the expressions of inflammatory cytokines and cartilage damage related proteases of the collagen-induced arthritis model (CIA) rats .

Sieve-based coreference resolution enhances semi-supervised learning model for chemical-induced disease relation extraction.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
The BioCreative V chemical-disease relation (CDR) track was proposed to accelerate the progress of text mining in facilitating integrative understanding of chemicals, diseases and their relations. In this article, we describe an extension of our syst...

What time is it? Deep learning approaches for circadian rhythms.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Circadian rhythms date back to the origins of life, are found in virtually every species and every cell, and play fundamental roles in functions ranging from metabolism to cognition. Modern high-throughput technologies allow the measureme...

Novel applications of multitask learning and multiple output regression to multiple genetic trait prediction.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
UNLABELLED: Given a set of biallelic molecular markers, such as SNPs, with genotype values encoded numerically on a collection of plant, animal or human samples, the goal of genetic trait prediction is to predict the quantitative trait values by simu...

From cineradiography to biorobots: an approach for designing robots to emulate and study animal locomotion.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Robots are increasingly used as scientific tools to investigate animal locomotion. However, designing a robot that properly emulates the kinematic and dynamic properties of an animal is difficult because of the complexity of musculoskeletal systems a...

Applying fuzzy logic to estimate the parameters of the length-weight relationship.

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia
We evaluated three mathematical procedures to estimate the parameters of the relationship between weight and length for Cichla monoculus: least squares ordinary regression on log-transformed data, non-linear estimation using raw data and a mix of mul...
