How wild bearded capuchin monkeys select stones and nuts to minimize the number of strikes per nut cracked
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus, use stone tools to crack palm nuts to obtain the kernel. In five experiments, we gave 10 monkeys from one wild group of bearded capuchins a choice of two nuts differing in ...
Feasibility of Detecting Prostate Cancer by Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Serum Metabolomics
(American Chemical Society, 2014-06)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men. The prevalent diagnosis method is based on the serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening test, which suffers from low specificity, ...
In Situ Metabolomics of the Honeybee Brain: The Metabolism of l -Arginine through the Polyamine Pathway in the Proboscis Extension Response (PER)
(2020-02-07)
The proboscis extension response (PER) reflex may be used to condition the pairing of an odor with sucrose, which is applied to the antennae, in experiments to induce learning, where the odor represents a conditioned ...
Classification of breast masses using a committee machine of artificial neural networks
(I S & T - SOC IMAGING SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY, 2008)
This work proposes a new approach using a committee machine of artificial neural networks to classify masses found in mammograms as benign or malignant. Three shape factors, three edge-sharpness measures, and 14 texture ...
