A supervised model to identify wolf behavior from tri-axial acceleration by Charlotte Lorand, Léa Bouet, Olivier Devineau, Marianna Chimienti, Alina L. Evans, Peggy Callahan, Mark Beckel, Timothy G. Laske, Ane Eriksen

“…Although classification performance decreased following cross-validation, recall scores for lying, trotting, stationary, galloping, walking and chewing individual behaviors (as well as static and locomotion categories) remained above 0.6. Classification performance was consistently poorer for rare behaviors, which constituted less than 1.1% of the training dataset. …”

Effect of Water Velocity on the Timing of Skeletogenesis in the Arctic Charr, Salvelinus alpinus (Salmoniformes: Teleostei): An Empirical Case of Developmental Plasticity by Richard Cloutier, Alain Caron, Thomas Grünbaum, Nathalie R. Le François

“…It is suggested that a faster sustained swimming (behavioural adaptation to a higher water velocity) could induce differential mechanical stresses on developing skeletal elements involved in locomotion and therefore induce changes primarily in the timing of the ossification.…”

Machine classification of code signals in electric train warning systems by I. V. Prisukhina, D. V. Borisenko

“…Electric signals transmitted through a track circuit often get corrupted by the noise produced by electric locomotives and other sources. This, in most cases, causes errors in automatic train warning systems and temporarily disrupts the operation of a railway. …”

Special Care Dentistry in a Patient with Prader–Willi Syndrome through the Use of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment under General Anesthesia by Caio Vinícius Gonçalves Roman-Torres, Sérgio Takashi Kussaba, Yasmin Comoti Vita Bantim, Roberta de Barros Antunes Almeida de Oliveira

“…The objective of this case report was to describe the treatment realized in a 3-year-old boy who presented grade II obesity, difficulty of locomotion, hypotonia, and history of cardiopathy. A dental treatment under general anesthesia was defined, allowing an oral adequation in a single section, in which it was planned the extraction of the element 74 and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) technique in the other teeth. …”
