The ARAMIS research platform is a telesurgical robotic system for minimally invasive surgery with focus on autonomous functionality. The original software architecture was a hierarchical one, based on the model-view-controller paradigm. To handle the growing number of devices, we introduce a new framework that facilitates the decomposition of system functionality into separate programs, as well...

Captive populations where natural mating in groups is used to obtain offspring typically yield unbalanced population structures with highly skewed parental contributions and unknown pedigrees. Consequently, for genetic parameter estimation, relationships need to be reconstructed or estimated using DNA marker data. With missing parents and natural mating groups, commonly used pedigree reconstruc...

Fake news poses a threat to democracy. The rise of social media and its lax content regulation have facilitated dynamic environment where mis- disinformation are spread. However, is also the place false information may be corrected. Initial scholarly efforts begin highlight what needed for citizens take corrective action when exposed fake on media. This study further step in that direction by i...

We present optical, infrared and radio data of the z = 4.11 radio galaxy TN J1338−1942 including an intermediate resolution spectrum obtained with FORS1 on the VLT Antu telescope. TN J1338−1942 was the first z > 4 radio galaxy to be discovered in the southern hemisphere and is one of the most luminous Lyα objects in its class. The Lyα and rest–frame optical emission appear co–spatial with the b...

We present a source of polarization-entangled photon pairs suitable for the implementation of long-distance quantum communication protocols using quantum memories. Photon pairs with wavelengths 883 nm and 1338 nm are produced by coherently pumping two periodically poled nonlinear waveguides embedded in the arms of a polarization interferometer. Subsequent spectral filtering reduces the bandwidt...

A full-length cDNA clone of an equine carbonic anhydrase (CA)-VI was obtained from the equine parotid gland. The cDNA sequence was 1338 bp long and was predicted to encode a 319 amino acid polypeptide with a putative signal peptide of 18 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of mature CA-VI showed the similarity of 70% to those of other mammalians reported. Westernblot analysis using ant...
