Science, Knowledge, and Animal Minds

Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 1998
Abstract David Hume is remembered by many philosophers as the great sceptic who called into question causality, necessity, and even the existence of the self. It is striking, then, that Hume writes that “no truth appears to me more evident, than that beasts are endow’d with thought and reason as well as men”.

The Knowledge of Animals as Food Scale

Human-animal interaction bulletin, 2019
Abstract There have been extensive outreach programs to educate people about the realities of animal food production. However, there has been relatively little attention to measuring what people actually know about the production of animal food products and the conditions in which those animals exist.

Knowledge for animal breeding

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1985
Abstract The opportunities and knowledge required to improve the technology of animal breeding are assessed relative to the baseline of ca. 2 % annual genetic improvement that is possible at present. Present knowledge of the control of reproduction is such that multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (m.o.e.t.) schemes could virtually ...

animals, knowledge about

2015
The Graeco-Roman zoological discourse comprises various development stages and various methods of observation and research. Traces of popular knowledge on animals are already present in the archaic literature, and several references to animals are found in the excursuses of the ancient ἱστορίαι.

Knowledge Growth in an Artificial Animal

1986
This paper describes work using an artificial, behaving, animal model (termed an “ani-mat”) to study intelligence at a primitive level. The motivation for our somewhat unusual approach is the view that the essence of intelligence is exhibited by animals surviving in real environments.

Planning Animations Using Cinematography Knowledge

2001
Our research proposes and demonstrates with a prototype system an automated aid for animators in presenting their ideas and intentions using the large range of techniques available in cinematography. An experienced animator can use techniques far more expressive than the simple presentation of spatial arrangements.

Computer animation of knowledge-based human grasping

ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 1991
The synthesis of human hand motion and grasping of arbitrary shaped objects is a very complex problem. Therefore high-level control is needed to perform these actions. In order to satisfy the kinematic and physical constraints associated with the human hand and to reduce the enormous search space associated with the problem of grasping objects, a ...

THE KNOWLEDGE OF HUMAN VIRUS INFECTIONS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1947
Present day information on the viral agents is in a state of flux; changes in fact and in point of view occur in kaleidoscopic fashion, and there is considerable hesitancy to make final conclusions. Although numerous papers have been published, they are scattered throughout scientific journals and are not always readily accessible to the clinician.

Knowledge-based extraction of control skeletons for animation

IEEE International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications 2007 (SMI '07), 2007
In this paper we propose a method for the automatic extraction and annotation of the animation control skeleton of virtual humans, which relies on an a-priori knowledge of the human anatomy. The method is based on a segmentation of the virtual human shape into semantically meaningful features, like arms or legs, and on an automatic location and ...
