Machine learning to detect marine animals in UAV imagery: effect of morphology, spacing, behaviour and habitat
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-05-06)Machine learning algorithms are being increasingly used to process large volumes of wildlife imagery data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); however, suitable algorithms to monitor multiple species are required to enhance ... -
Macroevolutionary patterns of sexual size dimorphism in copepods.
(2014-09-22)Major theories compete to explain the macroevolutionary trends observed in sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in animals. Quantitative genetic theory suggests that the sex under historically stronger directional selection will ... -
Macroscale Superlubricity: Macroscale Superlubricity Enabled by Graphene‐Coated Surfaces (Adv. Sci. 4/2020)
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-02-19) -
Maintenance and expansion of genetic and trait variation following domestication in a clonal crop
(Wiley, 2023-06-02)Clonal propagation enables favourable crop genotypes to be rapidly selected and multiplied. However, the absence of sexual propagation can lead to low genetic diversity and accumulation of deleterious mutations, which may ... -
Making a meal out of uncertainty
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge): SSH Titles, 2016-11-03)The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)’s prepared a guidance document on uncertainty (2015), and the lead article by Lofstedt and Bouder considers the implications the document raises for how scientists communicate the ... -
Maleimide-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose: A novel mucoadhesive polymer for transmucosal drug delivery.
(2022-07-15)The objective of this research was to develop a novel mucoadhesive polymer for drug delivery applications based on N-(2-aminoethyl) maleimide-functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose in which the weight ratios of the materials ... -
A mammalian DNA methylation landscape.
(2023-08-11)A study of 348 species offers clues into the diversity of mammalian life spans. -
Managing membrane stress: the phage shock protein (Psp) response, from molecular mechanisms to physiology
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-09)The bacterial phage shock protein (Psp) response functions to help cells manage the impacts of agents impairing cell membrane function. The system has relevance to biotechnology and to medicine. Originally discovered in ... -
Manipulation of Molecular Vibrations on Condensing Er3+ State Densities for 1.5 μm Application.
(2021-10-07)Vibrational modes of chemical bonds in organic erbium (Er3+) materials play an important role in determining the efficiency of the 1.5 μm Er3+ emission. This work studies the energy coupling of the Er3+ intra-4f transitions ... -
Many morphs: Parsing gesture signals from the noise.
(2024-03-04)Parsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information ...
