Using a Robotic Cat in Dementia Care: A Pilot Study.

Journal of gerontological nursing
The current study aimed to explore (a) reactions of individuals with dementia to an interactive robotic cat and their relatives' and professional caregivers' experiences, and (b) to measure usability in developing the care/treatment of individuals wi...

Neural Network Model for Survival and Growth of Salmonella enterica Serotype 8,20:-:z6 in Ground Chicken Thigh Meat during Cold Storage: Extrapolation to Other Serotypes.

Journal of food protection
Mathematical models that predict the behavior of human bacterial pathogens in food are valuable tools for assessing and managing this risk to public health. A study was undertaken to develop a model for predicting the behavior of Salmonella enterica ...

Active Batch Selection via Convex Relaxations with Guaranteed Solution Bounds.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Active learning techniques have gained popularity to reduce human effort in labeling data instances for inducing a classifier. When faced with large amounts of unlabeled data, such algorithms automatically identify the exemplar instances for manual a...

Piezo-actuated parallel mechanism for biological cell release at high speed.

Biomedical microdevices
In this paper, a dynamic releasing approach is proposed for high-speed biological cell manipulation. A compact parallel mechanism for grasping and releasing microobjects is used to generate controllable vibration to overcome the strong adhesion force...

A Simple Network Architecture Accounts for Diverse Reward Time Responses in Primary Visual Cortex.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
UNLABELLED: Many actions performed by animals and humans depend on an ability to learn, estimate, and produce temporal intervals of behavioral relevance. Exemplifying such learning of cued expectancies is the observation of reward-timing activity in ...

[In vivo Pharmacokinetics of Notoginsenoside R1 in Ischemia Rats After Acute Myocardial Infarction].

Zhong yao cai = Zhongyaocai = Journal of Chinese medicinal materials
OBJECTIVE: To establish an HPLC-UV method for determining pharmacokinetic difference of notoginsenoside R1 between normal rats and ischemic rats.

Sheep milk: physical-chemical characteristics and microbiological quality.

Archivos latinoamericanos de nutricion
Sheep milk is the third most consumed milk in Brazil. It is much appreciated for its nutritional status and is important for children that have problems with cow milk. Little information is known about the chemical, physical and microbiological compo...

Spatial Pyramid Pooling in Deep Convolutional Networks for Visual Recognition.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Existing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) require a fixed-size (e.g., 224 × 224) input image. This requirement is "artificial" and may reduce the recognition accuracy for the images or sub-images of an arbitrary size/scale. In this work, we ...

Using Grid Cells for Navigation.

Neuron
Mammals are able to navigate to hidden goal locations by direct routes that may traverse previously unvisited terrain. Empirical evidence suggests that this "vector navigation" relies on an internal representation of space provided by the hippocampal...
