Similar Sensorimotor Activations with and without Virtual Limbs During Action Execution and Observation in Neurorehabilitation SystemsNARA Subscribed
Virtual reality rehabilitation systems often represent actions through virtual limbs. However, previous observation-only studies suggest that frontoparietal networks involved in action observation and execution may also be engaged by simpler virtual effectors. In the present fMRI study, we examined whether the visual presence of a virtual limb modulates brain activity during both action execution and action observation in a vi...
A balanced approach to the potential of octopus aquacultureNARA Subscribed
Enhancement and restoration algorithms are widely used in the exploration of coral reefs for improving underwater images. However, by selecting an improvement algorithm based on image quality metrics, image processing key factors such as the execution time are not considered. In response to this issue, herein is presented a novel method built on multicriteria decision analysis that evaluates the processing time and feature poi...
The urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change necessitates a comprehensive understanding of carbon cycling dynamics. Traditionally, global carbon cycle models have focused on vegetation, but recent research suggests that animals can play a significant role in carbon dynamics under some circumstances, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of nature‐based solutions to mitigate climate change. However, links between a...
A Probabilistic View of Forbidden Links: Their Prevalence and Their Consequences for the Robustness of Plant–Hummingbird CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
The presence in ecological communities of unfeasible species interactions, termed forbidden links, due to physiological or morphological exploitation barriers has been long debated, but little direct evidence has been found. Forbidden links are likely to make ecological communities less robust to species extinctions, stressing the need to assess their prevalence. Here, we used a dataset of plant–hummingbird interactions, coupl...
In a completely randomized design, the vegetative growth and nutritive value of three tree leaves Tectona grandis , Gmelina arborea, and Acacia mangium compared to berseem ( Trifolium alexandrinum ) hay as a standard high-quality roughage for ruminants were studied. Growth, chemical composition, in vitro gas production (GP), and fermentation characteristics for 48 h of incubation were measured. Results of measured growth param...
Optical Marker-Based Motion Capture of the Human Spine: A Scoping Review of Study Design and OutcomesNARA Subscribed
Biomechanical analysis of the human spine is crucial to understanding injury patterns. Motion capture technology has gained attention due to its non-invasive nature. Nevertheless, traditional motion capture studies consider the spine a single rigid segment, although its alignment changes during movement. Moreover, guidelines that indicate where markers should be placed for a specific exercise do not exist. This study aims to r...
In coastal populations of the common bottlenose dolphin, resident females are usually more abundant and have more restricted home ranges than males. Here, we studied sex‐specific population dynamics of bottlenose dolphins off the Alvarado Lagoon System, southwestern Gulf of Mexico. We used standard photo‐identification and capture‐mark‐recapture methods to determine population parameters under the superpopulation approach. Sea...
The presence of transient and temporary individuals in capture-mark-recapture studies may violate the assumption on equal catchability, and thus yield biased estimates. We investigated the effects of residency patterns on population parameters of bottlenose dolphins inhabiting the coastal waters off the Alvarado Lagoon System (ALS), Veracruz, Mexico. We hypothesized that this population is open but there exists a “core communi...
