Feral swine (Sus scrofa) impact resources through their destructive feeding behavior, competition with native wildlife, and impacts to domestic animal agriculture. We studied aerial gunning on feral swine to determine if aerial gunning altered home range and core area sizes, distances between home range centroids, and distances moved by surviving individuals. We collected data before, during, a...

In this work an automated traffic analysis in aerial image sequences recorded by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been developed, which provides the trajectories of the vehicles especially during overtaking. Methods of photogrammetry and image processing are used to detect the vehicles and to determine and track their positions. Camera calibration is necessary in order to transform image co...

Streptomyces coelicolor produces spore-forming aerial hyphae after a period of vegetative growth. These aerial structures are decorated with a hydrophobic coating of rodlets consisting of chaplins and rodlins. Here, we show that rodlins and the surface-active peptide SapB are essential for development during growth in a medium with high osmolarity. To this end, both vegetative and aerial hyphae...

Transition from vegetative cells to aerial mycelium and spores of Streptomyces collinus is accompanied by changes in the pattern of proteins phosphorylated. Preparation from spores exhibits lower phosphorylation activity than those of vegetative cells and aerial mycelium. Phosphorylation of proteins from aerial mycelium was markedly stimulated by the presence of Mn2+. Our data indicate that pho...

Aerial robotics has experienced a significant development in the last 10 years. The main methods, technologies and applications have been related to information exchanges of the aerial robots with objects in the environment, with ground stations and between several aerial robots. Recently, new applications that involve physical interaction such as load transportation and inspection are being re...

Introduction. Golden dock ( Rumex maritimus L., Polygonaceae ) is used as a medicinal and food plant in Asian countries. The contains phytochemicals of various classes: flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones etc. Plant extracts exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, astringent activity, have antidiabetic potential. annual, most the biologically active substances accumulate its abov...

Aerial scene classification, which is a fundamental problem for remote sensing imagery, can automatically label an aerial image with a specific semantic category. Although deep learning has achieved competitive performance for aerial scene classification, training the conventional neural networks with aerial datasets will easily stick in overfitting. Because the aerial datasets only contain a f...
