TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a set of experiments to evaluate the suitability of the proposed approach in the field of bioinformatics and show that it is more effective than other approaches.
Abstract: В статье представлены данные исследований референсныхзначений биохимических показателей Казахских лошадей типа жабе. Для получения эталонных биохимических показателей были исследованы на автоматическом биохимическом анализаторе А15 (Biosystems, Испания) образцы цельной крови 50 клинически здоровых зрелых лошадей тип жабе обоих полов, выращиваемых на вольном выпасе КХ «Қалқа»Жамбылской области, Чуйского района, с.о. Балуан Шолақ. Биохимические результаты у лошадей жабе были близки к установленным нормальным показателям.Уровни ферментов гепатобилиарной системы (АСТ, ЩФ), содержания триглицеридов у лошадей тип жабе были выше нормы 3-5 раз. Были установлены более низкие концентрации альбумина и цинка (22,22±3,67 г/л и 4,86±1,49 мкмоль/л, соответственно), а также концентрации креатинина в пределах нижних значений нормы (77,84±14,19 мкмоль/л). Таким образом, были определены референсные интервалы биохимических показателей крови (общего белка, альбуминов, мочевины, мочевой кислоты, креатинина, билирубина, холестерина, глюкозы, триглицеридов, кальция, фосфора, магния, железа, цинка, щелочной фосфатазы, аланинаминтрансферазы и аспартатаминтрансферазы) для лошади тип жабе в условиях Южного региона Республики Казахстан, характерных для нормального течения обменных процессов в организме.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied the responses of a yellow-bellied toad to different water levels (constant high, decreasing water level, and constant low water level) in the laboratory using individuals collected from natural ponds.
Abstract: Many amphibian species inhabit temporary aquatic habitats for reproduction to maximize larval growth under favorable conditions, but accelerate developmental rate to rapidly undergo metamorphosis under stress conditions when high desiccation risk exists. Desiccation affects different aspects of amphibian biology such as developmental rate, body size and mass, and growth rate. We studied the responses of yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) to different water levels (constant high, decreasing water level, and constant low water level) in the laboratory using individuals collected from natural ponds. To assess the effects of experimental pond drying, we investigated the effects on life-history and morphological traits at metamorphosis as well as carry-over effects on post-metamorphic traits and locomotor performances. We found that B. variegata cannot accelerate developmental rate in response to pond drying. The metamorphs from decreasing and constant low water levels had similar size, mass, growth rate and body condition indices at metamorphosis, and all these traits were lower than in the constant high water level treatment. These changes in life-history traits at metamorphosis did not affect tail shape although they had carry-over effects on life-history and morphological traits after metamorphosis. Post-metamorphic individuals reared in desiccation treatments had similar but smaller lengths of femur and tibiofibula, but these changes did not have negative consequences on jumping performances. We show that responsiveness to pond drying of B. variegata is probably associated with maximum growth rate in favorable conditions and inability to increase growth rate as well as developmental rate in desiccation conditions. This resulted in prolonged developmental time to reach the minimum size and mass for metamorphosis.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss a classification of objects based on basal dynamic patterns referencing one tradition, the link between rabbit, toad, and the Moon, which can be seen in several cultures.
Abstract: Recent machine learning algorithms such as neural networks can classify objects and actions in video frames with high accuracy. Here, I discuss a classification of objects based on basal dynamic patterns referencing one tradition, the link between rabbit, toad, and the Moon, which can be seen in several cultures. In order for them to be classified into one class, a basic pattern of behavior (cyclic appearance and disappearance) works as a feature point. A static character such as the shape and time scale of the behavior are not essential for this classification. In cognitive semantics, image schemas are introduced to describe basal patterns of events. If learning of these image schemas is attained, a machine may be able to categorize rabbit, toad, and the Moon as the same class. For learning, video frames that show boundary boxes or segmentation may be helpful. Although this discussion is preliminary and many tasks remain to be solved, the classification based on basal behaviors can be an important topic for cognitive processes and computer science.
