Pigmentary keratitis and mixed chromatophoroma in a betta fish (Betta splendens)
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 587-592, December 2022., 2022 Graphical Abstract This clinical case report describes a <1 year old betta fish that developed pigmentary keratitis, anterior uveitis, and a mixed chromatophoroma that led to the patient's death. A review of available anecdotal and scientific literature suggests that there may have been a genetic cause for these health problems.

Backpack electrofishing does not contribute to external signs of gas bubble trauma in sculpins
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 572-577, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We exposed prickly sculpin Cottus asper and reticulate sculpin Cottus perplexus to electroshock and sham treatments in a controlled laboratory setting to determine if backpack electrofishing contributed to or exacerbated external signs of gas bubble trauma (GBT) in fish exposed to elevated total dissolved gas (TDG) levels. Fish were exposed to

Multimodal Locomotion: Next Generation Aerial–Terrestrial Mobile Robotics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023 Aerial–terrestrial robots can achieve efficient energy consumption and robust environmental interaction by adding morphological features, adapting forms for locomotion transitions, and integrating multiple platforms. This next generation of mobile robots advances real‐world robotic deployment for operations with complex tasks and tackle environments ...

A long-term study of a snake community in north-western Tuscany (central Italy): population structure and density patterns [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2019 We analysed a snake species community of a Mediterranean 0.2 ha ecotonal area during a 21 year time span, monitoring two colubrid and one viperid snake species.

Robotic modeling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science (2020), 7, 191192, 2020 Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge. On trees and desert dunes, snakes grip branches or brace against depressed sand for stability.

Interior point search for nonparametric image segmentation [PDF]
, 2021 Precise object boundary detection for automatic image segmentation is critical for image analysis, including that used in computer-aided diagnosis. However, such detection traditionally uses active contour or snake models requiring accurate initialization and parameter optimization.

Snakes, shapes, and gradient vector flow
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1998 Snakes, or active contours, are used extensively in computer vision and image processing applications, particularly to locate object boundaries. Problems associated with initialization and poor convergence to boundary concavities, however, have limited ...
