ABSTRACT: Human nervous system, which is composed of neuron and synapse networks, is capable of processing information in a plastic, data-parallel, fault-tolerant, and energy-efficient approach.Inspired by the ingenious working mechanism of this miraculous biological data processing system, scientists have been devoting great efforts to artificial
Humans are known for their capacity to disperse organisms long distances.Long-distance dispersal can be important for species threatened by habitat destruction, but research into human-mediated dispersal is often focused upon few and/or invasive species.Here we use citizen science to identify the capacity for humans to disperse seeds on their cloth
Painted artefacts, such as murals and paintings, are the treasures of human civilization.Pigment is an important component of their surfaces.It is crucial to study the composition and proportion of pigments on the surface of painted artefacts for the field of heritage conservation.In this study, hyperspectral remote sensing was used to invert the a
In this review the history of discovery of siphonophores, from the mpu63zm/a first formal description by Carl Linnaeus in 1785 to the present, is summarized, and species richness together with a summary of world-wide distribution of this pelagic group within the clade Hydrozoa discussed.Siphonophores exhibit three basic body plans which are briefly
