Truck Activity Pattern Classification Using Anonymous Mobile Sensor Data
… analyses to classify trucks by industry based on activity patterns derived from large streams of truck GPS data. The major components are: (1) derivation of truck activity patterns from anonymous GPS traces, (2) development of a classification model to distinguish trucks by industry, and (3) …

Action Intention Modulates the Activity Pattern in Early Visual Areas
The activity pattern in the early visual cortex (EVC) can be used to predict upcoming actions as it is functionally connected to higher-order motor areas. However, the mechanism by which the EVC enhances action-relevant features is unclear. We explored this using fMRI. Participants performed Align …

Inferring travel activity pattern from smartphone sensing data using deep learning
… for managing that demand. Understanding travel patterns of the individuals is also important to develop effective incentive mechanisms. Location-based services like personal digital assistants and journey planners use historical travel routine to build preferences of the user and make useful …

Analysis of Activity Pattern of Children Attending Elementary School, and Development of a Prediction Model Based on Data Mining Approach for ADHD Screening
… attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD) screening tests may not always be objective or accurate, owing to both subjectivity and prejudice. Despite attempts to develop objective measures to characterize ADHD, no widely applicable index currently exists. The principal aim of …

Effect of Hormonal and Temporal Factors on Captive Female Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris) Behavior
Activity patterns, spatial use and reproductive hormones of nine adult-female captive manatees at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park (HSWSP) were studied from January 6 to August 10, 2003. This study probed two main topics: 1) activity pattern and spatial use of the facility by manatees over …

Decoupling Motion from Sensory Data: An Emergent Property of a Neural Population in the Piriform Cortex
… and regular breathing differently influence the activity of the olfactory cortex during a single inhalation. Still, the population representation of odor concentration is invariant to fluctuations in the breathing rate. This can be explained by the fact that inhalation speed and odor …

The Effects of Actinomycin D and Acth on Circadian Steroidogenesis of Hamster Adrenals
… Bunning, Kalmus and Kleitman. An animal's activity pattern has been called diurnal or nocturnal again in relation to the environmental photo- period of the animal. | A biorhythm is any regularly recurring change in some biological process, whether it takes place in a cell, tissue, organ, …

Variação no padrão de atividade de mamíferos em resposta à sazonalidade em um parque nacional da floresta tropical seca brasileira
… of records, composition, simple occupancy and activity pattern of the species and their relationship with seasonality. We collected the data throughout the rainy and dry seasons of 2018, using camera traps at 44 and 40 sampling points, with an effort of 2267 and 1639 camera-days, respectively. …

The hippocampal "Event Code" : implications from Descartes to Gridworld
… maze, we reported hippocampal CA1 neurons whose activity was modulated not only by spatial location, but also lap number. These "event-specific rate remapping" (ESR) cells remain lap-specific even when the maze length was unpredictably altered within trials, suggesting ESR cells treated lap …

An Ecological Study of the Black-Tailed Jack-Rabbit Lepus Californicus in Missouri
… plant collections and identification. Jackrabbit activity was monitored through direct observations, spotlighting, and with infrared-triggered camera units. Pasture fields were found to be the preferred habitat over hay and crop fields on the study site. A seasonal activity pattern was discovered …

The day activity schedule approach to travel demand analysis
This study develops a model of a person's day activity schedule that can be used to forecast urban travel demand. It is motivated by the notion that travel outcomes are part of an activity scheduling decision, and uses discrete choice models to address the basic modeling problem-capturing decision …

Towards a Unified Framework for Smart Built Environment Design: An Architectural Perspective
… capability, there is a significant change in activity pattern/spatial use pattern in an SBE. So, the traditional architectural design process needs to be modified to meet the unique requirements of SBE design. The aim of this thesis is to modify the traditional architectural design process by …

Comparing density analyses and carnivore ecology in Madagascar's southeastern rainforest
… in forest disturbance, and 3) explore temporal activity patterns of rainforest carnivores. I found the spatially-explicit-capture-recapture models were empirically superior, as they are flexible and account for spatial variation in detection probability and area estimation. I found both endemic …

Converting an Allocentric Goal Direction into an Egocentric Steering Signal in Drosophila
… steering signal. Past work has argued that the activity of EPG cells, or "compass neurons", represents the fly's moment-to-moment angular orientation, or heading angle, during navigation. An animal's heading angle, however, is not always aligned with its goal angle, i.e., the direction in which …

Sublethal effects by deltamethrin and spinosad on the grain weevils Sitophilus zeamais and S. granarius
… deltamethrin and spinosad on survival, walking activity, irritability and different feeding and drinking responses of S. zeamais and S. granarius. In the second experiment, we evaluated the sublethal effects of deltamethrin and spinosad on mating and reproductive output of S. zeamais. …

Variations in Time-Dependent Mosquito-Host Interactions Across Aedes Species
… External factors can also influence a vector's activity pattern like climate, light pollution, as well as host preference and availability. To investigate the influence these factors have on activity patterns, we compare the activity patterns of multiple lab rear strains of Aedes albopictus as …

Activity-dependent integration and plasticity of new neurons during postnatal neurogenesis
… can ultimately survive. However, what form of activity pattern determines the survival of new neurons remains unclear. Using NaChBac sodium channels to selectively alter the intrinsic excitability of new neurons in vivo, this manipulation reveals that neuronal survival critically depends on the …
