Predicting the physiological response of Tivela stultorum hearts with digoxin from cardiac parameters using artificial neural networks.

Bio Systems
Multi-layer perceptron artificial neural networks (MLP-ANNs) were used to predict the concentration of digoxin needed to obtain a cardio-activity of specific biophysical parameters in Tivela stultorum hearts. The inputs of the neural networks were th...

Microstructural view of burrowing with a bioinspired digging robot.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
RoboClam is a burrowing technology inspired by Ensis directus, the Atlantic razor clam. Atlantic razor clams should only be strong enough to dig a few centimeters into the soil, yet they burrow to over 70 cm. The animal uses a clever trick to achieve...

Evaluation of antifouling surfaces using a method that employs mussel larvae settlement quantified by machine learning.

Biofouling
Antifouling coating development requires extensive performance testing. Coatings that prevent aquatic larval settlement are of interest because many forms of macrofouling begin at the larval stage. However, field testing can be time consuming and poo...
