The Sound of Actuators: Disturbance in Human - Robot Interactions? [PDF]

2019 Joint IEEE 9th International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EpiRob), 2019
Human-Robot interactions promise to increase as robots become more pervasive. One important aspect is gestural communication which is quite popular in rehabilitation and therapeutic robotics. Indeed, synchrony is a key component of interpersonal interactions which affects the interaction on the behavioural level, as well as on the social level.

Increased tolerance to humans among disturbed wildlife [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractHuman disturbance drives the decline of many species, both directly and indirectly. Nonetheless, some species do particularly well around humans. One mechanism that may explain coexistence is the degree to which a species tolerates human disturbance.

The long-term consequences of short-term responses to disturbance: Experiences from whalewatching impact assessment [PDF]

, 2007
Studies often use behavioral responses to detect the impact of given disturbances on animals. However, the observation of these short-term responses can often lead to contradicting results.

Effect of Human Disturbance on Bird Telomere Length: An Experimental Approach

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Human recreational activities increase worldwide in space and frequency leading to higher rates of encounter between humans and wild animals. Because wildlife often perceive humans as predators, this increase in human disturbance may have negative ...

Habitat-mediated facilitation and counteracting ecosystem engineering interactively influence ecosystem responses to disturbance [PDF]

, 2011
Recovery of an ecosystem following disturbance can be severely hampered or even shift altogether when a point disturbance exceeds a certain spatial threshold. Such scale-dependent dynamics may be caused by preemptive competition, but may also result from

Large-scale variation in combined impacts of canopy loss and disturbance on community structure and ecosystem functioning. [PDF]

, 2013
Ecosystems are under pressure from multiple human disturbances whose impact may vary depending on environmental context. We experimentally evaluated variation in the separate and combined effects of the loss of a key functional group (canopy algae ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Human disturbances affect the topology of food webs

Ecology Letters, 2022
Abstract Networks describe nodes connected by links, with numbers of links per node, the degree, forming a range of distributions including random and scale‐free. How network topologies emerge in natural systems still puzzles scientists.
