From the ancient mythology till the modern times, people were trying to build an artificial mechanical replica of themselves.Inspired by this long tradition of various engineering projects, we will Hats hereby describe a partly humanoid robotic structure.Our robotic configuration is composed out of an anthropomimetic upper body, but instead of legs
The UK online puppy trade has rapidly outgrown the current legislation, aided by the anonymity provided by classified advertisement platforms.In an effort to meet increased demand, some unregulated and regulated breeders may have employed practices that negatively impact canine welfare.A paucity of up-to-date empirical data, necessary to characteri
Considering the lack Shorts of information about livestock diseases on Brazilian oceanic islands, the occurrence of bovine brucellosis was investigated on the island of Fernando de Noronha, state of Pernambuco, Brazil.Serum samples were collected in October 2009, from all the 105 cows raised on the island at that time.These were examined concurrent
Abstract The necessity for explainability of artificial intelligence technologies in medical applications has been widely discussed and heavily debated within the literature.This paper comprises a systematized review of the arguments supporting and opposing this purported necessity.Both sides of the debate within the literature are quoted to synthe
Postural stabilization during rapid and powerful hopping actions represents a significant challenge for legged robotics.One strategy utilized by humans to negotiate this difficulty is the robust activation of biarticular thigh muscles.Guided by this physiological principle, this study aims to enhance the postural stability of a hopping robot throug
