Viruses of wild and domestic animals can infect humans in a process called zoonosis, and these events can give rise to explosive epidemics such as those caused by the HIV and Ebola viruses.While humans are constantly exposed to animal viruses, those that can successfully infect and transmit between humans are exceedingly rare.The key event in zoono
Efficient Feature Selection Algorithm Based on Particle Swarm Optimization With Learning Memory
Feature selection is an important Picnic Sets pre-processing step in machine learning and data mining tasks, which improves the performance of the learning models by removing redundant and irrelevant features.Many feature selection algorithms have been widely studied, including greedy and random search approaches, to find a subset of the most impor
The In-Flight Social Calls of Insectivorous Bats: Species Specific Behaviors and Contexts of Social Call Production
Bats could be a useful study system for studying the evolution of social communication, as they exhibit a high diversity of social group size and complexity.However, the study of bat social calls has been Bowl (Set of 3) limited, as they are nocturnal, volant animals that produce predominately ultrasonic vocalizations.Passive acoustic monitoring st
Synergic Renoprotective Effects of Combined ASC Therapy with RAAS Blockade in Experimental Advanced CKD
Global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased considerably in the recent decades.Overactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), associated to renal inflammation and fibrosis, contributes to its evolution.The treatments currently employed to control CKD progression are limited and mainly based on the pharmacologic
