Description of movement sensor dataset for dog behavior classification
2022
The description and results of the original investigation are found in: Dog behaviour classification with movement sensors placed on the harness and the collar, Kumpulainen, P., Valldeoriola Cardó, A., Somppi, S., Törnqvist, H., Väätäjä, H., Majaranta, P., Gizatdinova, Y., Antink, C. H., Surakka, V., V. Kujala, M., Vainio, O. & Vehkaoja, A., Aug 2021, In: Applied Animal Behaviour Science. 241, 7 p., 105393. Movement sensor data from seven static and dynamic dog behaviors (sitting, standing, lying down, trotting, walking, playing, and (treat) searching i.e. sniffing) was collected from 45 middle to large sized dogs with six degree-of-freedom movement sensors attached to the collar and the ha…
Barriers and wellbeing-oriented enablers of intergenerational innovation in the digital age
2021
AbstractSo far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The …
Review of Particle Physics
2020
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, …
Botànica per a després d’una guerra: el viatge de Joan Salvador i Antoine de Jussieu per Espanya i Portugal
2013
Entre 1716 i 1717 l’apotecari barceloni Joan Salvador i Riera i Antoine de Jussieu, professor de botanica del Jardin du Roi de Paris van recorrer els camins d’Espanya i Portugal, ades en calessa, ades a lloms de mula per fer «observacions botaniques» . Aquest article presenta una breu ressenya de la nissaga dels Salvador i descriu sumariament el viatge dels dos naturalistes.
Viatgers romàntics. Els viatges d’Alexander von Humboldt i de Charles Darwin
2013
Tot i pertànyer a generacions diferents i representar formes diferents d’aproximació a l’estudi de la natura, Humboldt i Darwin comparteixen el fet de tenir en l’aventura individual d’un gran viatge iniciàtic la fita determinant de la seva fructífera carrera científica.
Loneliness Among Older Home-Dwelling Persons: A Challenge for Home Care Nurses.

Amber Particles as Living Plant Cell Markers in Flow Cytometry / Dzintara Daļiņas Kā Dzīvu Augu Šūnu Marķieri Plūsmas Citometrijā
2015
Abstract The unique biological properties of amber are well known. Amber particles that penetrate into the cellular matrix can potentially be used as markers of plant cell biological activity by identification of living cells in flow cytometry. However, there have been no studies on effect of amber particles on plant cells. The aim of this study was to determine effect of amber nano- and micro- (5 nm-3 μm) particles on somatic and gametic cells and to assess the possibility to use amber particles as alive plant cells markers. To reach the aim, fluorescence of cells was determined in the presence of amber particles, and amber components - spirit of amber and sodium succinate dibasic hexahydr…
The universal ancestor : an unfinished reconstruction
2015
El cenancestro se define como el ultimo ancestro comun de todos los seres vivos que existen actualmente. Su naturaleza se ha inferido a partir de la identificacion de los genes homologos entre los linajes de arqueas, bacterias y eucariontes. Estas inferencias indican que el cenancestro poseia un sistema de traduccion de proteinas relativamente moderno y era similar en complejidad a una celula actual. Sin embargo, las enzimas claves que se encargan tanto de la replicacion del material genetico como de la biosintesis de membranas celulares no son homologas entre los linajes celulares. Aqui revisamos brevemente la historia del concepto del ultimo ancestro comun y las distintas hipotesis que se…
Antifungal activity improved by coproduction of cyclodextrins and anabaenolysins in Cyanobacteria
2015
Department of Chemistry, Nanoscience Center, University of Jyväskylä, FI-40014, Jyväskylä, Finland Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve drug delivery and to increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. Anabaenolysins are lipopeptides produced by cyanobacteria with potent lytic activity in cholesterolcontaining membranes. Here, we identified the 23- To 24-kb gene clusters responsible for the production of the lipopeptide anabaenolysin. The hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase biosynthetic gene cluster is encoded in the genomes of three anabaenolysin-producing strains of Anabaena.We detected previously u…
Moviments de dispersió en els primats. Variabilitat en els seus patrons i causes
2014
Els moviments de dispersió en els animals representen decisions crucials per als individus, ja que afecten la seua supervivència i èxit reproductiu, a més de ser un component important de la dinàmica poblacional. En aquest article es descriu la variabilitat en els patrons de dispersió en els primats i algunes de les causes, tant últimes com proximals, a les quals respon.
