An Automated Light Trap to Monitor Moths (Lepidoptera) Using Computer Vision-Based Tracking and Deep Learning.

Published in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)

Insect monitoring methods are typically very time-consuming and involve substantial investment in species identification following manual trapping in the field. Insect traps are often only serviced weekly, resulting in low temporal resolution of the monitoring data, which hampers the ecological interpretation. This paper presents a portable compute...

A Plane Stress Failure Criterion for Inorganically-Bound Core Materials.

Published in Materials (Basel, Switzerland)

Inorganically-bound core materials are used in foundries in high quantities. However, there is no validated mechanical failure criterion, which allows performing finite-element calculations on the core geometries, yet. With finite-element simulations, the cores could be optimised for various production processes from robotic core handling to the de...

Aristote, Pline, Thomas de Cantimpré et Albert le Grand, entomologistes ? Identifier chenilles, papillons et vers à soie...

Comparaison entre quelques étapes significatives de la connaissance entomologique antique et médiévale, sur la base de l’examen des notices sur certains animalcules traités par Aristote, Pline l'Ancien et Avicenne (la chenille, le papillon, le ver à soie). La perspective part de ce qu’en retiennent le naturaliste dominicain Albert le Grand et ses c...

Evolutionary novelty in the apoptotic pathway of aphids.

Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Apoptosis, a conserved form of programmed cell death, shows interspecies differences that may reflect evolutionary diversification and adaptation, a notion that remains largely untested. Among insects, the most speciose animal group, the apoptotic pathway has only been fully characterized in Drosophila melanogaster, and apoptosis-related proteins h...
