Nowadays people tend to include more meat in their diet thanks to the improvement in standards of living as well as an increase in awareness of meat nutritive values. To ensure public health, therefore, there is a need for a rise in worldwide meat pr...
Moving in groups is an amazing spectacle of collective behaviour in fish and has attracted considerable interest from many fields, including biology, physics and engineering. Although robotic fish have been well studied, including algorithms to simul...
Sensitivity analysis applied to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as well as to other types of empirical ecological models allows assessing the importance of environmental predictive variables in affecting species distribution or other target variabl...
Many fish generate thrust by undulating one or multiple elongated fins while keeping their body straight. This propulsion mechanism has stimulated interest in both biology and bio-inspired marine propulsion because its maneuverability and efficiency ...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the use of ontology-based semantic mapping (OS-Mapping) in chemical toxicity assessment. Nineteen chemical-species phenotypic profiles (CSPPs) were constructed by ontologically annotating the toxicity responses r...

It is well known that essential proteins play an extremely important role in controlling cellular activities in living organisms. Identifying essential proteins from protein protein interaction (PPI) networks is conducive to the understanding of cell...
This article presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a soft biomimetic robotic fish based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) that swims by body and/or caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. BCF is a promising locomotion mechanism that p...
This paper presents the development of a biomimetic robotic fish that uses an integrated oscillation and jet propulsive mechanism to enable good swimming performance for small robotic fish. The designed robotic fish is driven by two caudal fins that ...
Species distribution is the result of complex interactions that involve environmental parameters as well as biotic factors. However, methodological approaches that consider the use of biotic variables during the prediction process are still largely l...
The lateral line system (LLS) is a mechanoreceptive organ system with which fish and aquatic amphibians can effectively sense the surrounding flow field. The reverse Kármán vortex street (KVS), known to be a typical thrust-producing wake, is commonly...
