Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments, tasks ...

beta-Klotho deficiency protects against obesity through a crosstalk between liver, microbiota, and brown adipose tissue

Kristina Schoonjans

beta-Klotho (encoded by Klb) is the obligate coreceptor mediating FGF21 and FGF15/19 signaling. Klb(-/-)mice are refractory to beneficial action of pharmacological FGF21 treatment including stimulation of glucose utilization and thermogenesis. Here, we inv ...

Probable nature of higher-dimensional symmetries underlying mammalian grid-cell activity patterns

Alexander Mathis

Lattices abound in nature—from the crystal structure of minerals to the honey-comb organization of ommatidia in the compound eye of insects. These arrangements provide solutions for optimal packings, efficient resource distribution, and cryptographic proto ...

Solitary pulse-on-demand production by optical injection locking of passively Q-switched InGaN diode laser near lasing threshold

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-Michel Jacques Lamy, Dmitri Boiko, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni, Xi Zeng

In this letter, we investigate the behavior of a Q-switched InGaN multi-section laser diode (MSLD) under optical injection from a continuous wave external cavity diode laser. We obtain solitary optical pulse generation when the slave MSLD is driven near fr ...

A bioinspired multi-modal flying and walking robot

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Ludovic Daler

With the aim to extend the versatility and adaptability of robots in complex environments, a novel multi-modal flying and walking robot is presented. The robot consists of a flying wing with adaptive morphology that can perform both long distance flight an ...

Miniaturized implantable sensors for in vivo localized temperature measurements in mice during cold exposure

Johan Auwerx, Thomas Lehnert, Raphaël Doenlen

We report on in vivo temperature measurements performed in mice at two specific sites of interest in the animal body over a period of several hours. In particular, the aim of this work was to monitor mouse metabolism during cold exposure, and to record pos ...

Intravital Immunofluorescence for Visualizing the Microcirculatory and Immune Microenvironments in the Mouse Ear Dermis

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Amanda Waite Lund, Jeremy Teo, Scott Oliver

Visualizing the dynamic behaviors of immune cells in living tissue has dramatically increased our understanding of how cells interact with their surroundings, contributing important insights into mechanisms of leukocyte trafficking, tumor cell invasion, an ...

Angular Motion Control Using a Closed-Loop CPG for a Water-Running Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Metin Sitti

The Basilisk Lizard’s striking ability to sustain highly dynamic legged locomotion on a range of surfaces from hard-ground to water is a remarkable feat [1]. Most legged robots would have difficulty emulating this animal’s ability to robustly locomote on y ...

Dynamics of zebrafish somitogenesis

Andrew Charles Oates

Vertebrate somitogenesis is a rhythmically repeated morphogenetic process. The dependence of somitogenesis dynamics on axial position and temperature has not been investigated systematically in any species. Here we use multiple embryo time-lapse imaging to ...

Brain energy metabolism and neurotransmission at near-freezing temperatures: In vivo 1H MRS study of a hibernating mammal

Rolf Gruetter

The brain of a hibernating mammal withstands physiological extremes that would result in cerebral damage and death in a non-hibernating species such as humans. To examine the possibility that this neuroprotection results from alterations in cerebral metabo ...
