The Potential of Cognitive‐Inspired Neural Network Modeling Framework for Computer Vision

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In article number 202507730, Guorun Li, Lei Liu, Yuefeng Du, and co‐workers present a cognitive modeling framework (CMF) to bridge the ‘representation gap’ and ‘conceptual gap’ between cognitive theory and vision deep neural networks (VDNNs). The research findings provide new insights and solid theoretical support for VDNN modeling inspired by ...

Measuring the costs of biosecurity on poultry farms: a case study in broiler production in Finland

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2012
Background Farm-level biosecurity provides the foundation for biosecurity along the entire production chain. Many risk management practices are constantly in place, regardless of whether there is a disease outbreak or not.

An Aptamer‐Based EXACT Anticoagulant as a Sustainable, Animal‐Free Alternative to Unfractionated Heparin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By simply conjugating thrombin's active‐site inhibitor, dabigatran, with an exosite inhibitor, aptamer HD1, the resulting EXosite‐ACTive site (EXACT) inhibitors show two orders of magnitude higher potency and selectivity via synergistic binding, while maintaining the aptamer's antidote‐reversible trait, yielding a potential substitute for the animal ...

A Multifunctional Molecular Probe for Multimodal Imaging‐Guided Potent Photothermal/Photodynamic Therapy of Endometriosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The cRGD‐ILD molecular probe integrates clinically available components: a cRGD peptide (integrin αvβ3 targeting), ICG (for fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging and phototherapy), and Gd‐DTPA (MRI contrast). Utilizing small size and receptor targeting, it achieves selective lesion accumulation.

Determination of lead concentration in chicken liver and breast tissues in a number of poultry farms in Qom and Semnan provinces [PDF]

Bihdāsht-i Mavādd-i Ghaz̠āyī, 2019
Poultry meat is considered as a source of animal protein with high biological amino acids, many vitamins, and minerals. Food contamination with heavy metals is a major threat to humans and animals. Long-term exposure could have detrimental effects.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Evaluating Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Impact on Crop Indemnities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2018 Farm Bill established the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP), which was focused on removing feral hogs and restoring damaged property. We conduct a quasi‐experimental analysis of FSCP on crop damage using crop insurance data and a staggered difference‐in‐difference model.

Impacts of geopolitics and policy on Latin American biodiversity and water resources

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Latin America is a major agricultural producer with important natural resources. Efforts have been made to protect sensitive areas but are hindered by agricultural trade disruptions outside the control of individual countries due to globally integrated crop markets.

Ancient horizontal transfers of retrotransposons between birds and ancestors of human pathogenic nematodes

Nature Communications, 2016
Lymphatic filariasis and loiasis are diseases caused by insect-borne filarial nematodes. Here, Suh et al. identify a retrotransposon that is present in the genomes of these nematodes and seven tropical bird lineages, indicating two waves of horizontal ...
