Turing Test, Chinese Room Argument, Symbol Grounding Problem. Meanings in Artificial Agents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Turing Test (TT), the Chinese Room Argument (CRA), and the Symbol Grounding Problem (SGP) are about the question “can machines think?”. We propose to look at that question through the capability for Artificial Agents (AAs) to generate meaningful ...

The effects of loose, firm, fine, and coarse substrates on the movement of the red flour beetle

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 662-674, April 2025.
The study focused on the impact of substrate roughness on movement properties, utilizing the red flour beetle as a model organism. Findings revealed significant variations in movement behavior between rough and smooth substrates, with beetles traveling longer distances on smooth surfaces compared to sandpaper and loose sand.

Basal body positioning and anchoring in the multiciliated cell Paramecium tetraurelia: roles of OFD1 and VFL3

open access: yesCilia, 2017
BackgroundThe development of a ciliary axoneme requires the correct docking of the basal body at cytoplasmic vesicles or plasma membrane. In the multiciliated cell Paramecium, three conserved proteins, FOR20, Centrin 2, and Centrin 3 participate in this ...

Twisted Tales: Insights into Genome Diversity of Ciliates Using Single-Cell 'Omics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The emergence of robust single-cell 'omics techniques enables studies of uncultivable species, allowing for the (re)discovery of diverse genomic features.

FRET‐Based Sensor Zebrafish Reveal Muscle Cells Do Not Undergo Apoptosis in Starvation or Natural Aging‐Induced Muscle Atrophy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, March 27, 2025.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer‐based sensor zebrafish are generated to visualize muscle cell apoptosis in live animals by color change from green to blue. Using these sensors zebrafish, starvation‐induced, or natural aging‐induced muscle atrophy models are established. The diameters of muscle cells decrease in both models; however, muscle cells

Ciliate Paramecium is a natural reservoir of Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, replicates within alveolar macrophages and free-living amoebae. However, the lifestyle of L. pneumophila in the environment remains largely unknown. Here we established a novel natural

Cross-Generational Effects and Non-random Developmental Response to Temperature Variation in Paramecium

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Unicellular organisms such as ciliates are largely neglected in research on adaptive developmental plasticity, although their nuclear dualism offers ideal circumstances to study development outside an embryonic context.

ゾウリムシの長期飼育と教材化についての一考察 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It has been 33 years since the author bred paramecium for the first time. During this time observation of paramecium has been introduced into science classes in junior high schools and seminars for teachers.

Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids

open access: yes, 2015
Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves".

Calcium-induced asymmetrical beating of triton-demembranated sea urchin sperm flagella [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Asymmetrical bending waves can be obtained by reactivating demembranated sea urchin spermatozoa at high Ca2+ concentrations. Moving-film flash photography shows that asymmetrical flagellar bending waves are associated with premature termination of the ...
