Cats and dogs

2012 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 ...

Extinction of experimental Triatoma infestans populations following continuous exposure to dogs wearing deltamethrin-treated collars. [PDF]

, 2006
Dogs are domestic reservoir hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. We evaluated the effect of deltamethrin-treated dog collars (DTDCs) over time on the population dynamics of Triatoma infestans, a main T. cruzi vector. Forty

Dog is a dog is a dog: Infant rule learning is not specific to language [PDF]

Cognition, 2007
Human infants possess powerful learning mechanisms used for the acquisition of language. To what extent are these mechanisms domain specific? One well-known infant language learning mechanism is the ability to detect and generalize rule-like similarity patterns, such as ABA or ABB [Marcus, G. F., Vijayan, S., Rao, S. B., & Vishton, P. M. (1999).

The effects of dietary fibre type on satiety-related hormones and voluntary food intake in dogs [PDF]

, 2009
Depending on type and inclusion level, dietary fibre may increase and maintain satiety and postpone the onset of hunger. This 7-week study evaluated the effect of fibre fermentability on physiological satiety-related metabolites and voluntary food intake
