Biomimetics, Volume 8, Issue 3

Fluid particle detection technology is of great importance in the oil and gas industry for improving oil-refining techniques and in evaluating the quality of refining equipment. The article discusses the process of creating a computer vision algorith...

During the last few decades, the requirements for modern machine elements in terms of size reduction, increasing the energy efficiency, and a higher load capacity of standard and non-standard gears have been very prevalent issues. Within these demand...

Ear image segmentation and identification is for the “observation” of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), because disease diagnoses and treatment are achieved through the massaging of or pressing on some corresponding ear acupoints. With...

The features of the kernel extreme learning machine—efficient processing, improved performance, and less human parameter setting—have allowed it to be effectively used to batch multi-label classification tasks. These classic classificatio...

The reptile search algorithm is an effective optimization method based on the natural laws of the biological world. By restoring and simulating the hunting process of reptiles, good optimization results can be achieved. However, due to the limitation...

Biomimetics holds the promise to contribute to sustainability in several ways. However, it remains unclear how the two broad concepts and research fields are connected. This article presents a literature overview on biomimetic sustainable development...

The first botanical gardens in Europe were established for the study of medicinal, poisonous, and herbal plants by students of medicine or pharmacy at universities. As the natural sciences became increasingly important in the 19th Century, botanical...

Novel imidazole derivatives of the low molecular weight chitosan N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chitosan chloride (NMIC) were synthesized using copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). T...

Natural image matting is an essential technique for image processing that enables various applications, such as image synthesis, video editing, and target tracking. However, the existing image matting methods may fail to produce satisfactory results...

The paper presents an original approach to the synthesis of polycalciumorganyl silsesquioxanes through the reaction of polyorganyl silsesquioxanes [RSiO1.5]n (where R is an ethyl and phenyl radical) with sea urchin skeleton under the conditions of me...
