Due to the complexity of software systems, defects are inevitable. Understanding the types of defects could help developers to adopt measures in current and future software releases. In practice, developers often categorize defects into various types. One common categorization is based on fault triggers ...
Emotion plays an important role in human computer interaction to give a human like feel. To acknowledge the importance of emotions in an artificial agent, we propose a domain independent emotion mining model (EmoXract) which extracts emotions from an unstructured data. The emotion is extracted at sentence ...
The following topics are dealt with: nano mechatronics; humanoid robot; bio-inspired underwater robots; intelligent control; biomedical robots; sensor; fault diagnosis; modeling and simulation; robust controller design; robot vision; robot control; robot design and analysis; mobile robot navigation; ...
One of the key factors to enhance the level of Chinese rural logistics is to evaluate and improve the operational efficiency of rural logistics service providers' performance. By using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, the paper takes thirty Chinese rural logistics service providers out-output ...
Mature specimens of Clarias batrachus were exposed to Ganga river water in Kanpur containing environment for 115 days duration, over which the observations were recorded on 30th, 60th, 90th, 105th and finally 115th day. The fish was maintained unfed. An average increase of 4.2 ± 0.35 cm in length and ...
Summary The deposition of elemental sulfur as a solid phase results in plugging the pore space available for gas flow and reduces the reservoir productivity. Elemental sulfur also can be deposited as a liquid phase if the reservoir temperature is greater than 115°C. The liquid sulfur restricts the ...
International trade with ornamental fish is gradually recognized as an important source of a wide range of different antibiotic resistant bacteria. In this study we therefore characterized the prevalence of selected antibiotic resistance genes in the microbiota found in the carriage water of ornamental ...
Changing climate is predicted to impact all depths of the global oceans, yet projections of range shifts in marine faunal distributions in response to changing climate seldom evaluate potential shifts in depth distribution. Marine ectotherms' thermal tolerance is limited by their ability to maintain ...
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a global navigation satellite system to be developed independently by China. It will provide positioning, navigation, and timing services with a global coverage by 2020. It can be used for transport, weather forecast, fishing, forestry, telecommunications, ...
In this work, we present a system for the automated classiffication of seabed substrates in underwater video. Classiffication of seabed substrates traditionally requires manual analysis by a marine biologist, according to an established classiffication system. Accurate, consistent and robust classiffication ...
Fishery information processing can help fishery researchers obtain the needed information easily and quickly. The current information processing techniques have not solved the problem of high dimensional features in fishery information processing. In this paper, a feature selection method for fishery ...
Design and optimization of trawl-doors are key factors in minimizing the fuel consumption of fishing vessels. This paper discusses optimization of the trawl-door shapes using high-fidelity 3D computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models. The accurate 3D CFD models are computationally expensive and, therefore, ...
Little consideration has been given to environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling strategies for rare species. The certainty of species detection relies on understanding false positive and false negative error rates. We used artificial ponds together with logistic regression models to assess the detection of ...
Shallow-water coastal areas suffer frequent reductions in salinity due to heavy rains, potentially stressing the organisms found there, particularly the early stages of development (including pelagic larvae). Individual adults and newly hatched larvae of the gastropod Crepipatella peruviana were exposed ...
A major hindrance for the development of psychiatric drugs is the prediction of how treatments can alter complex behaviors in assays which have good throughput and physiological complexity. Here we report the development of a medium-throughput screen for drugs which alter anxiety-like behavior in adult ...
One consequence of human-driven habitat degradation in general, and habitat fragmentation in particular, is loss of biodiversity. An often-underappreciated aspect of habitat fragmentation relates to changes in the ecology of species that persist in altered habitats. In Bahamian wetlands, ecosystem fragmentation ...
In this manuscript, we modulate the binding properties of estrogen receptor protein by rationally modifying the amino acid composition of its ligand binding domain. By combining sequence alignment and structural analysis of known estrogen receptor-ligand complexes with computational analysis, we were ...
The human exploitation of marine resources is characterised by the preferential removal of the largest species. Although this is expected to modify the structure of food webs, we have a relatively poor understanding of the potential consequences of such alteration. Here, we take advantage of a collection ...
The establishment of baseline IUCN Red List assessments for plants is a crucial step in conservation planning. Nowhere is this more important than in biodiversity hotspots that are subject to significant anthropogenic pressures, such as Madagascar. Here, all Madagascar palm species are assessed using ...
In the past few decades, in the marine realm in particular, the use of molecular tools has led to the discovery of hidden taxonomic diversity, revealing complexes of sister species. A good example is the red algal genus Asparagopsis. The two species (A. armata and A. taxiformis) recognized in this genus ...
