Scents of care: Multispecies relations in Pakistan's heatwave

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how odour, intensified by heat, shapes the sensory aspects of social and multispecies relations in Pakistan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Kasur's tanneries and Lahore's animal shelters during a period of record‐breaking heat, it analyses how smell structures inclusion and exclusion, mediates encounters with humans

Integrating Vision and Olfaction via Multi-Modal LLM for Robotic Odor Source Localization

Sensors
Odor source localization (OSL) technology allows autonomous agents like mobile robots to localize a target odor source in an unknown environment. This is achieved by an OSL navigation algorithm that processes an agent’s sensor readings to calculate ...

Investigating context-aware clues to assist navigation for visually impaired people [PDF]

, 2002
It is estimated that 7.4 million people in Europe are visually impaired [1]. Limitations of traditional mobility aids (i.e. white canes and guide dogs) coupled with a proliferation of context-aware technologies (e.g.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Conflicting adaptations in an inhibitory feedback circuit

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We studied activity‐dependent adaptation in the fruit fly Drosophila’s memory centre, the mushroom body. Here, excitatory Kenyon cells (KCs) receive feedback inhibition from the anterior paired lateral (APL) neuron. When KCs are artificially overactivated for 24 h, both KCs and APL reduce their sensitivity to excitation (‘↓ Exc’,
