Pigeons (Columba livia) as Trainable Observers of Pathology and Radiology Breast Cancer Images
PLoS ONE, 2015 Pathologists and radiologists spend years acquiring and refining their medically essential visual skills, so it is of considerable interest to understand how this process actually unfolds and what image features and properties are critical for accurate ...

Space complexity in polynomial calculus [PDF]
, 2015 During the last decade, an active line of research in proof complexity has been to study space complexity and time-space trade-offs for proofs. Besides being a natural complexity measure of intrinsic interest, space is also an important issue in SAT ...

Analyze the Chosen Production Criteria of Carrier Pigeons
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The aim of this work was to analyze the chosen production criteria of carrier pigeons. We observed the weight of the squabs on the 28th day and their weight before the slaughtering. The slaughtering was carried out before and after the young pigeons left

Altered orientation and flight paths of pigeons reared on gravity anomalies: a GPS tracking study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The mechanisms of pigeon homing are still not understood, in particular how they determine their position at unfamiliar locations. The "gravity vector" theory holds that pigeons memorize the gravity vector at their home loft and deduct home direction and

Functions of innate and acquired immune system are reduced in domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) given a low protein diet [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Racing pigeons are exposed to and act as carriers of diseases. Dietary protein requirement for their maintenance has not been determined experimentally despite their being domesticated for over 7000 years.
