Genetics was to initiate the publication of an essay, entitled Perspectives, at the beginning of each issue. The perspective and prospective functions have been achieved by articles that have integrated classic studies His idea wa...

The Birds-eye View: Neuropsychology of Adhd

A Birds Eye View on System Identification

System identification is concerned with obtaining good models from data, i.e. with data driven modeling. In this contribution the aim is to explain and discuss ideas, general approaches and theories underlying identification of linear systems. Identification of linear systems is a nonlinear problem and is prototypical also for many parts of identification of nonlinear systems.

CSE252: Bird’s eye view: Detecting and Recognizing Birds using the BIRDS 200 dataset

In this project, we benchmark the Naive Bayes-Nearest Neighbor (NB-NN) algorithm on the Birds 200 dataset[6] using C-SIFT feature descriptor. Primary motivation is to provide a comprehensive set of baselines and experiments for further research on the dataset. In addition, we built a bird detector cascade for real time detection of birds in images and videos which is compatible with OpenCV. Fin...

Malagasy birds as hosts for eye-frequenting moths.

While tear-feeding in moths on mammals is widespread, there have been no reports of this behaviour in Madagascar and none on birds. We report that a moth, Hemiceratoides hieroglyphica belonging to the Calpini, a generally fruit-feeding or blood-feeding lineage of noctuids, attacks sleeping birds in Madagascar. This moth is able to intrude its sharply tipped proboscis into a closed bird's eye. T...
