Cats and dogs

open access: yes2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012
We investigate the fine grained object categorization problem of determining the breed of animal from an image. To this end we introduce a new annotated dataset of pets covering 37 different breeds of cats and dogs. The visual problem is very challenging as these animals, particularly cats, are very deformable and there can be quite subtle differences ...

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Topological assessment of recoverability in public transport networks

open access: yesCommunications Physics
Reducing the impact of disruptions is essential to provide reliable and attractive public transport. In this work, we introduce a topological approach for evaluating recoverability, i.e., the ability of public transport networks to return to their ...

Genetic susceptibility to feline infectious peritonitis in Birman cats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Genetic factors are presumed to influence the incidence of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), especially among pedigreed cats. However, proof for the existence of such factors has been limited and mainly anecdotal.

The growing problem of obesity in dogs and cats.

open access: yesJournal of NutriLife, 2006
Obesity is defined as an accumulation of excessive amounts of adipose tissue in the body, and is the most common nutritional disorder in companion animals. Obesity is usually the result of either excessive dietary intake or inadequate energy utilization,

Quantum Cheshire Cats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we present a quantum Cheshire Cat. In a pre- and post-selected experiment we find the Cat in one place, and its grin in another. The Cat is a photon, while the grin is its circular polarization.

The Best Model for a Cat is the Same Cat … or is It? [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsy Currents, 2007
Effect of Antiepileptic Drugs on Spontaneous Seizures in Epileptic Rats. Nissinen J, Pitkänen A. Epilepsy Res 2007;73:181–191. The present study investigated whether spontaneously seizing animals are a valid model for evaluating antiepileptic compounds in the treatment of human epilepsy.

Comprehensive profiling of lncRNAs and mRNAs enriched in small extracellular vesicles for early noninvasive detection of colorectal cancer: diagnostic panel assembly and extensive validation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small extracellular vesicles are a promising source of diagnostic molecules. We conducted a comprehensive study, including transcriptome profiling and RT‐qPCR validation on large cohorts of samples. Diagnostic panels enabling sensitive detection of colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions were established. Some molecules were differentially expressed

Multi-modal and multi-layer robustness analysis of the European rail and air networks

open access: yesScientific Reports
The robustness of long-distance transport services is paramount for ensuring network connectivity under disruptions. We conduct a comparative analysis of the European rail and air networks of 124 main metropolitan areas, assessing their ability to ...

Physical and Behavioral Measures that Predict Cats' Socialization in an Animal Shelter Environment during a Three-Day Period [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Information from surveys completed by the cats' caregivers provided a score for the level of socialization of cats. We examined the effectiveness of structured assessments and measures in their ability to distinguish More and Less Socialized cats in a ...
