Few species have been of more disputed affinities than the red or lesser panda (Ailurus fulgens), an endangered endemic Southeast Asian vegetarian member of the placental mammalian order Carnivora. This peculiar carnivoran has mostly been classified with raccoons (Procyonidae) or bears (Ursidae), ...
Bayesian, maximum likelihood, and parsimony phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the red panda as the closest living relative of a clade containing Procyonidae and Mustelidae to the exclusion of Mephitidae. These three families together with the red panda (which is classified here as a single ...
This paper explores current developments in evolutionary and bio-inspired approaches to autonomous robotics, concentrating on research from our group at the University of Sussex. These developments are discussed in the context of advances in the wider fields of adaptive and evolutionary approaches to AI...
DMR genomic features.(A)Number of DMR versus the DMR lengths (kb). All DMRs at a p-value threshold of 1e-05 are shown.(B)Number of DMR versus the number of DMRs at different CpG densities. All DMRs at a p-value threshold of 1e-05 are shown.(C)DMR numbers (p < 1e-05)...
“Physiological features of the MCA M4 segment and preparation of the simulants” in Methods). Particularly, this requirement needs to be fulfilled in two dynamic conditions, i.e., the magnet is actuated to move the robot along with and against the flow, for entering the smallerΦland moving...
Our results reveal the unique adaptive genomic features of the BMR, including high rates of DNA and higher RNA editing compared with that of the mouse and rat, lower rates of chromosome rearrangements, as well as an over-representation of SINE (short interspersed element) transposable elements, ...
bukapilot should preserve all other vehicle's stock features, including, but are not limited to: FCW, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), auto high-beam, blind spot warning, and side collision warning. Limitations of bukapilot bukapilot do not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount...
A number of visual tracking approaches have been intensely studied for decades [1], and some of them have been used successfully in many different tasks, such as video surveillance, gesture recognition, and human interaction. Early tracking methods relying on fixed appearance features of an object...
2019) which features a velocity-based reconstruction of the momentum and allows us to compute meaningful velocities even close to the wet/dry interface. The major driving forces of storm surges are extreme winds and pressure gradients. This study considers hurricane storm surges in Sect. 4.1 and ...
the secondary structure and tandem repeats within the putative control region (CR) were calculated, and then compared against other congeneric extant species. After an analysis of mitogenomic features in the genusTapirus, we explored the phylogenetic position ofT. pinchaqueamong extant congeneric species...
