Animal Welfare and Animal Rights

2018
In this chapter a distinction is made between animal welfare, for which a scientific approach is possible, and animal rights, which requires an ethical consideration. Our relationship with animals has changed most for food-producing animals, having evolved from one of necessity to one of exploitation of many of the managed animals.

CRISPR in Animals and Animal Models

2017
CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized the generation of transgenic animals. This system has demonstrated an unprecedented efficiency, multiplexability, and ease of use, thereby reducing the time and cost required for genome editing and enabling the production of animals with more extensive genetic modifications.

Animated robots and robotic animation

Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
Summary form only given. We are interested in physical robots that move in the physical world and in simulated creatures that move in the virtual world. We have built a series of physical robots that include one-legged hoppers, biped runners, a quadruped, and two kangaroo-like robots.

Animal Welfare and Animal Rights

Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 1988
Animal liberationists tend to divide into two mutually antagonistic camps: animal welfarists, who share a utilitarian moral outlook, and animal rightists, who presuppose a structure of basic rights. However, the gap between these groups tends to be exaggerated by their allegiance to oversimplified versions of their favored moral frameworks.

When is an animal, not an animal?

Journal of Biological Education, 1981
The concepts of ‘animal’ held by some New Zealand primary, secondary, and tertiary students were explored using both an interview and multiplechoice survey approach. The results indicate that many students of all ages have a restricted concept of ‘animal’ compared with that of a biologist. The implications of these results for teaching are discussed.

Animal Models

2012
Five well-established animal models in influenza research are discussed in a schematic fashion. Although there are clear parallels between these models, like viruses used, housing and handling conditions under biosafety conditions, routes of virus inoculation, sampling strategies, and necropsy techniques (mostly elaborated on in Subheading 4), each of ...
