The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Optimal deep learning activity recognition pipeline using animal bio‐logging data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal activity recognition using supervised machine learning on bio‐logging data has revolutionized behavioural studies on wildlife and livestock over the past decade. These studies' analytic pipelines differ substantially though, being based on various sensors, features, algorithms and hyperparameter values, which has caused suboptimal or ...

The public agglomeration effect: Urban–rural divisions in government efficiency and political preferences

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why and when do cities vote for the left? The emergence of the urban–rural divide in the United States in the 1930s is inconsistent with canonical theories of cleavages. This paper introduces an explanation: agglomeration effects. The provision of government services is more efficient in urban environments because of nonrivalries, economies of

On Distance-Based Topological Descriptors of Subdivision Vertex-Edge Join of Three Graphs

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The analysis of networks and graphs through topological descriptors carries out a useful role to derive their underlying topologies. This process has been widely used in biomedicine, cheminformatics, and bioinformatics, where assessments based on graph ...

Harary and hyper-Wiener indices of some graph operations

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications
In this paper, we obtain the Harary index and the hyper-Wiener index of the H-generalized join of graphs and the generalized corona product of graphs. As a consequence, we deduce some of the results in (Das et al. in J. Inequal. Appl. 2013:339, 2013) and

Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
EXPEDITION (NCT02573233) assessed the effects of dupilumab on airway inflammation in patients with persistent asthma using bronchoscopy and gene expression analysis. Dupilumab showed no appreciable effect on inflammatory cell types in biopsies or BALF samples.

A method for computing the edge-hyper-Wiener index of partial cubes and an algorithm for benzenoid systems

open access: yes, 2018
The edge-hyper-Wiener index of a connected graph G is defined as WWe(G)=1/2 ?{e,f}?E(G) d(e,f) + 1/2 ? {e,f}?E(G)d(e,f)2. We develop a method for computing the edge-hyper-Wiener index of partial cubes, which constitute a large class of graphs ...

Smarandache-Zagreb Index on Three Graph Operators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Many researchers have studied several operators on a connected graph in which one make an attempt on subdivision of its edges. In this paper, we show how the Zagreb indices, a particular case of Smarandache-Zagreb index of a graph changes with these ...
