PREDICTING ODOR FROM VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA: A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH

Predicting odor from vibrational spectra: a data-driven approach

Abstract This study investigates olfaction, a complex and not well-understood sensory modality.The chemical mechanism behind smell can be described by so far proposed two theories: vibrational and docking theories.The vibrational theory has been gaining acceptance lately but needs more extensive validation.To fill this gap for the first time, we, w

Comparative ecomorphology of the sandstone night lizard (Xantusia gracilis) and the granite night lizard (Xantusia henshawi)

Abstract It is hypothesized that shape differences between the closely related sandstone night lizard (Xantusia gracilis) and the granite night lizard (X.henshawi) may Bar Stools be correlated with structual differences in their respective microhabitats.Multivariate and univariate analyses of 22 morphometric characters taken from the head, body, an

Not too slow, not too fast: water currents affect group structure, aggression and welfare in post-smolt Atlantic salmon Salmo salar

Increased swimming speed of Atlantic salmon is generally considered an improvement to welfare under aquaculture settings, as group structure is improved and agonistic behaviour reduced.As such, establishing fish farms in exposed areas with fast water current velocities should be favourable.However, at some locations, velocities exceed what is known
