Advantages of aquatic animals as models for bio-inspired drones over present AUV technology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic systems are becoming more ubiquitous, whether on land, in the air, or in water. In the aquatic realm, aquatic drones including ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) have opened new opportunities to invest...

Antitubercular metabolites from the marine-derived fungus strain MF029.

Natural product research
During the systematic screening of bioactive compounds from our marine natural product library, crude extract of the marine-derived fungus strain MF029 exhibited moderate bioactivities against , S, methicillin-resistant , and bacillus Calmette-Guér...

On the impact of Citizen Science-derived data quality on deep learning based classification in marine images.

PloS one
The evaluation of large amounts of digital image data is of growing importance for biology, including for the exploration and monitoring of marine habitats. However, only a tiny percentage of the image data collected is evaluated by marine biologists...

Soft-sensing method based on FDLS-SVM in marine alkaline protease fermentation process.

Preparative biochemistry & biotechnology
To overcome the problem that soft-sensing model cannot be updated with the bioprocess changes, this article proposed a soft-sensing modeling method which combined fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) algorithm with least squares support vector machine theo...

A Dexterous, Glove-Based Teleoperable Low-Power Soft Robotic Arm for Delicate Deep-Sea Biological Exploration.

Scientific reports
Modern marine biologists seeking to study or interact with deep-sea organisms are confronted with few options beyond industrial robotic arms, claws, and suction samplers. This limits biological interactions to a subset of "rugged" and mostly immotile...

Priorization of River Restoration by Coupling Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) Models in the Taizi River Basin, Northern China.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Identifying priority zones for river restoration is important for biodiversity conservation and catchment management. However, limited data due to the difficulty of field collection has led to research to better understand the ecological status withi...

Shipboard design and fabrication of custom 3D-printed soft robotic manipulators for the investigation of delicate deep-sea organisms.

PloS one
Soft robotics is an emerging technology that has shown considerable promise in deep-sea marine biological applications. It is particularly useful in facilitating delicate interactions with fragile marine organisms. This study describes the shipboard ...

Locomotion of arthropods in aquatic environment and their applications in robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many bio-inspired robots have been developed so far after careful investigation of animals' locomotion. To successfully apply the locomotion of natural counterparts to robots for efficient and improved mobility, it is essential to understand their pr...

Integrating river hydromorphology and water quality into ecological status modelling by artificial neural networks.

Water research
The aim of the study was to develop predictive models of the ecological status of rivers by using artificial neural networks. The relationships between five macrophyte indices and the combined impact of water pollution as well as hydromorphological d...

Characterization of Polyphenolic Content in the Aquatic Plants Ruppia cirrhosa and Ruppia maritima -A Source of Nutritional Natural Products.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Herein, the polyphenolic content in extracts of (Petagna) Grande and L.was fully characterized for the first time. High amounts of the main compound chicoric acid () (≤30.2 ± 4.3 mg/g) were found in both species. In addition, eight flavonoids, nam...
