and subsequently by policy-makers, clinicians and researchers.Footnote6Its initial impetus came from renewed fears about the emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases passing between humans and other animals.Fo
While these are speculative scenarios, we observe deception in agents such as humans and other animals. For these reasons, training objectives have limitations and cannot select against all forms of selfish behavior. 4.2.2 Honesty and Self-Deception Since training objectives cannot stop deception, ...
During REM sleep,the brain produces high-frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes move rapidly from time to time. In humans,REM is closely linked to dreaming. REM is a pattern of slow-wave sleep, a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent. This...
Knifefish in the wild are hardwired to find refuge to avoid predators. They emit weak electric discharges to sense their location and find shelter. Wiggling rapidly allows them to actively sense their surroundings, especially in dark water. In the light, they still make such rapid movements, jus...
Ginger is used orally to slow or reverse the growth of rapidly developing tumors in animals and humans by more than 50% when administered in a daily dose that is 5 to 10 times the threshold dose at which an analgesic and antiinflammatory effect abruptly sets in in cases of joint ...
3. Technical issues pertaining to CSF 4. The ‘third circulation’ 5. Immunologic and biochemical homeostasis of CSF: relationship to ECSB 6. CSF as a “nourishing liquor” 7. Extra-choroid plexus formation of CSF 8. The choroid plexus/CSF axis analogy to glomerular filtrate/kidney 9. Trans...
We present the concept of ‘Services to Ecosystems’ (S2E) to address this, closing the loop of the reciprocal relationship between humans and ecosystems. Case studies from the biocultural ecosystems of Amazonia and the Pacific Northwest of North America (Cascadia) are used to illustrate the ...
Here we find that, overall, disturbed populations of animals of the three major taxa are more tolerant of human disturbance than undisturbed (or less disturbed) populations. We also find that habitat contrast, body mass, clutch size and diet are the best predictors of direction and magnitude of...
objects and other animals and the air (the classical rabid animal sign - termed furious rabies); some animals will seizure and die and others will progress to a depressed, paralysed state: unable to move or get up or feed (the paralytic form of rabies), before drifting into a coma and ...
new neighborhoods, their driveways, their pools, some even trying to open doors… WE are in THEIR home, not the other way around.. and we have bite size goodies like dogs and little people/kids to snack on. That being said, “Hell NO’ don’t let your kids swim in canals and lakes...
