Releasing grey squirrels into the wild

Releasing a Multimodal Dialogue System into the Wild

We present City Browser, a web-based platform which provides multimodal access to urban information. We concentrate on aspects of the system that make it compelling for sustained interaction, yet accessible to new users. First, we discuss the architecture’s portability, demonstrating how new databases containing Points of Interest (POIs) may easily be added. We then describe two interface techn...

The seasonal pattern of cell proliferation and neuron number in the dentate gyrus of wild adult eastern grey squirrels.

The dentate gyrus is one of two areas in the mammalian brain that produces neurons in adulthood. Neurogenesis (proliferation, survival, and differentiation of new neurons) is regulated by experience, and increased neurogenesis appears to be correlated with improved spatial learning in mammals and birds. We tested the hypothesis that in long-lived mammals that scatter-hoard food, seasonal variat...

Toxoplasma gondii in Wild Red Squirrels, the Netherlands, 2014

To the Editor: Toxoplasma gondii, a zoonotic protozoan parasite for which felids are the only definitive hosts, can infect humans and other warm-blooded animals. Transmission usually occurs orally from oocysts shed by felids in water and on food, through tissue cysts in undercooked meat, or transplacentally. In particular, young cats shed oocysts that can sporulate and become infectious within ...
