Abstract Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis.Leporids are primary sources of human infections in the northern hemisphere.Africa is classically considered free of tularemia, but BC426 recent data indicate that this dogma might be wrong.We assessed the presence of this disease in wild leporids in Algeria.Between 201
An Engineering Design Approach for the Development of an Autonomous Sailboat to Cross the Atlantic Ocean
Over the past decade, interest in autonomous vessels significantly increased as the technology improved, especially FRESH DEO LIME in the automotive industry.Unlike cars, ships travel in a wild environment and maritime lanes are not limited by white lines.This makes the design of fully autonomous vessels even more challenging.Additionally, the need
Lightweight CNN-Based Method for Spacecraft Component Detection
Spacecraft component detection is essential for space Daybed missions, such as for rendezvous and on-orbit assembly.Traditional intelligent detection algorithms suffer from drawbacks related to high computational burden, and are not applicable for on-board use.This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based lightweight algorithm for
Application of Machine Learning for Automating Behavioral Tracking of Captive Bornean Orangutans (Pongo Pygmaeus)
This article applies object detection to CCTV Bath Salts video material to investigate the potential of using machine learning to automate behavior tracking.This study includes video tapings of two captive Bornean orangutans and their behavior.From a 2 min training video containing the selected behaviors, 334 images were extracted and labeled using
