Amazonia camtrap: A dataset of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest. (2022)
Journal Article

The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed and grey literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an...

Assessing Soil Degradation and Risk in Relation to Metal Pollution in Hindon River Water-Irrigated Soils of Western Uttar Pradesh of India (2022)
Journal Article

Soil degradation with metal pollution was assessed in polluted river water-irrigated soils. Human health risk from ingestion of metal by way of eating of edible portion of plants, raised on these soils, was predicted based on the free ion activity in...

A Novel RBFNN-CNN Model for Speaker Identification in Stressful Talking Environments (2022)
Journal Article
Nassif, A. B., Alnazzawi, N., Shahin, I., Salloum, S. A., Hindawi, N., Lataifeh, M., & Elnagar, A. (2022). A Novel RBFNN-CNN Model for Speaker Identification in Stressful Talking Environments. Applied Sciences, 12(10), 4841. https://doi.org/10.3390/app12104841

Speaker identification systems perform almost ideally in neutral talking environments. However, these systems perform poorly in stressful talking environments. In this paper, we present an effective approach for enhancing the performance of speaker i... Read More about A Novel RBFNN-CNN Model for Speaker Identification in Stressful Talking Environments.

Characterisation of a Novel Acetyl Xylan Esterase (BaAXE) Screened from the Gut Microbiota of the Common Black Slug (Arion ater) (2022)
Journal Article
Madubuike, H., & Ferry, N. (2022). Characterisation of a Novel Acetyl Xylan Esterase (BaAXE) Screened from the Gut Microbiota of the Common Black Slug (Arion ater). Molecules, 27(9), 2999. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules27092999

Acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are enzymes capable of hydrolysing the acetyl bonds in acetylated xylan, allowing for enhanced activity of backbone-depolymerizing enzymes. Bioprospecting novel AXE is essential in designing enzyme cocktails with desired...

Ensuring robust radiological risk assessment for wildlife: insights from the International Atomic Energy Agency EMRAS and MODARIA programmes. (2022)
Journal Article

In response to changing international recommendations and national requirements, a number of assessment approaches, and associated tools and models, have been developed over the last circa 20 years to assess radiological risk to wildlife. In this pap... Read More about Ensuring robust radiological risk assessment for wildlife: insights from the International Atomic Energy Agency EMRAS and MODARIA programmes..

An Episodic Learning Network for Text Detection on Human Bodies in Sports Images (2022)
Journal Article
Nath Chowdhury, P., Shivakumara, P., Raghavendra, R., Nag, S., Pal, U., Lu, T., & Lopresti, D. (2022). An Episodic Learning Network for Text Detection on Human Bodies in Sports Images. IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, 32, 2279 - 2289. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCSVT.2021.3092713

Due to the proliferation of sports-related multimedia content on the WWW, effective visual search and retrieval present interesting research challenges. These are caused by poor image quality, a wide range of possible camera points of view, pose vari... Read More about An Episodic Learning Network for Text Detection on Human Bodies in Sports Images.

Environmental enrichment for collared peccaries Dicotyles tajacu, Tayassuidae in managed care: Different items provoke different behavioural responses (2022)
Journal Article
de Faria, C., Fa, F., Costa, D., da Silva, M., da Silva, B., Young, R., & Azevado, C. (2022). Environmental enrichment for collared peccaries Dicotyles tajacu, Tayassuidae in managed care: Different items provoke different behavioural responses. ˜The œJournal of zoo and aquarium research, 10(2), 82-90. https://doi.org/10.19227/jzar.v10i2.61082OPEN

Being in human care often modifies the behaviour of animals, mainly because of the lack of environmental stimuli, and the ease of finding food and reproductive partners. Animals in human care may have a poorer behavioural repertoire and lower welfare...
