Exploring Skill Generalization with an Extra Robotic Arm for Motor Augmentation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Extra robotic arms promise to augment human motor functions during multitasking. Herein, diaphragmatic‐controlled extra robotic arm (XRA) is investigated, demonstrating significant performance improvements—true functional augmentation—in trimanual tasks. However, limited generalization to tasks requiring fine motor skills is identified.

The role of asymmetric interactions on the effect of habitat destruction in mutualistic networks [PDF]

, 2010
Plant-pollinator mutualistic networks are asymmetric in their interactions: specialist plants are pollinated by generalist animals, while generalist plants are pollinated by a broad involving specialists and generalists. It has been suggested that this asymmetric ---or disassortative--- assemblage could play an important role in determining the equal ...

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]

, 2008
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Studies on cross compatibility in Jasminum spp.

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
The present investigation was carried out to study the compatibility among six Jasminum species during 2016–17. Among open, self and artificial cross pollination, the open pollination resulted in maximum degree of fruit and seed set proving the open ...

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEYBEE POLLINATION MARKETS [PDF]

Pollination by honeybees plays an important role in modern agriculture. Some crops are greatly dependent on honeybees (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, and cherries are examples) while the yields and quality of other crops are significantly ...

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Osmoxylon‐like fossils from early Eocene South America: West Gondwana–Malesia connections in Araliaceae

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Araliaceae comprise a moderately diverse, predominantly tropical angiosperm family with a limited fossil record. Gondwanan history of Araliaceae is hypothesized in the literature, but no fossils have previously been reported from the former supercontinent.
