In recent years, there has been a rise in interest in the development of self-growing robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing paradigm of plants.In particular, climbing plants capitalize on their slender structures to successfully negotiate unstructured environments while employing a combination of two classes of growth-driven movements: tropic
Nesting biology and Seasonal dynamics of Halictid bee, Toddler Hoplonomia westwoodi (Nomiinae: Halictidae) was studied at ICAR-National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (NBAIR) Bengaluru, Yelahanka Campus (13.096792N, 77.565976E) India from July 2016 to May 2017.The bee built subterranean nests on a leveled soil surface with turrets with mai
In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect saliency on face images.In our method, face and facial features are extracted as two top-down feature channels, linearly integrated with three traditional bottom-up features of color, intensity, and orientation, to yield final saliency map of a face image.By conducting an eye tracking experiment, a
Mathematical modeling of the heat and mass transfer processes in the evaporating droplet−high-temperature gas medium system is difficult due to the need to describe the dynamics of the formation of the quasi-steady temperature field of evaporating droplets, as well as of a gas-vapor buffer layer around them and in their trace during evaporati
Signaling events leading inductor motor to Schwann cell tumor initiation have been extensively characterized in the context of neurofibromatosis (NF).Similar tumors are also observed in patients with the endocrine neoplasia syndrome Carney complex, which results from inactivating mutations in PRKAR1A.Loss of PRKAR1A causes enhanced protein kinase A
