Salmonids, outside their reproductive period, are seen to have two types of territory called "territorial mosaic" and "partial territory". The first aspect of this research aimed at identifying the type of territory established by mature brook chars in artificial streams. After this, the biological value of spacing out was studied with regard to two resources: food, and shelter/shade which give...

In this paper we propose a computationally efficient algorithm for on-line variable selection in multivariate regression problems involving high dimensional data streams. The algorithm recursively extracts all the latent factors of a partial least squares solution and selects the most important variables for each factor. This is achieved by means of only one sparse singular value decomposition ...

Infants might be better at teasing apart dialects with different language rules when hearing the dialects at different times, since language learners do not always combine input heard at different times. However, no previous research has independently varied the temporal distribution of conflicting language input. Twelve-month-olds heard two artificial language streams representing different di...

Introduction & Purpose: Multi-channel phased-array radio-frequency (RF) coils are capable of acquiring several streams of acquisitions in parallel, resulting in improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and faster scan times (1,2). Data streams from these coils must be added in-phase during coil combination or risk losing signal to phase cancellation. Conventional coil combination schemes work well...

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the subdomain of knowledge representation (KR) has the aim to represent, integrate, and exchange knowledge in order to do some reasoning about the given information. During the last decades many different KR-languages were proposed for a variety of certain applications with specific needs. The concept of a managed Multi-Context System (mMCS) was int...

The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) has been widely introduced into aquatic systems all around the world, triggering multiple impacts. In Doñana Natural Area, Abalario and the Biological Reserve of Doñana, Spain (one of the most important biodiversity reserves in Europe), the red swamp crayfish was first introduced in 1974 and expanded its range quickly through marsh habitat, but distr...

We employ a virtual marine world inhabited by realistic artificial animals as an ALife laboratory for developing and evaluating zoomimetic perception and learning algorithms. In particular, we propose active perception strategies that enable artificial marine animals to navigate purposefully through their world by using computer vision algorithms to analyze the foveated retinal image streams ac...
