Sleep is characterized by extended periods of quiescence and reduced responsiveness to sensory stimuli. Animals ranging from insects mammals adapt environments with limited food suppressing sleep enhancing their response cues, yet little known about the genetic evolutionary relationship between these processes. The blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus a powerful model for elucidating mechanisms underlying behavioral evolution. A. comprises an extant ancestral-type surface dwelling...

Taste is the primary sensory system for detecting food quality and palatability. Drosophila detects five distinct taste modalities that include sweet, bitter, salt, water, of carbonation. Of these, sweet-sensing neurons appear to have utility detection nutritionally rich while bitter-sensing signal toxicity confer repulsion. Growing evidence in mammals suggests fatty acids (FAs) signals presence dietary lipids promotes feeding. While flies be attracted acids, neural basis acid attraction are...

In the gustatory systems of mammals and flies, different populations sensory cells recognize taste modalities, such that there are respond selectively to sugars others bitter compounds. This organization readily allows animals distinguish compounds modalities but may limit ability within one modality. Here, we developed a behavioral paradigm in Drosophila melanogaster evaluate directly tastes fly distinguishes. These studies reveal flies do not discriminate among sugars, or compounds, based...

The unprecedented growth of today's cities together with increased population mobility are fueling the avalanche in numbers vehicles on roads. This development led to new challenges for traffic management, including mitigation road congestion, accidents, and air pollution. Over last decade, researchers have been focusing their efforts leveraging recent advances sensing, communications, dynamic adaptive technologies prepare deployed management systems (TMS) resolving these important future...

Fat represents a calorically potent food source that yields approximately twice the amount of energy as carbohydrates or proteins per unit mass. The highly palatable taste free fatty acids (FAs), one building blocks fat, promotes consumption, activates reward circuitry, and is thought to contribute hedonic feeding underlying many metabolism-related disorders. Despite role in etiology metabolic diseases, little known about how dietary fats are detected by gustatory system promote feeding....

The blockchain technology is currently penetrating different areas of the modern Information and Communications Technology community. Most devices involved in blockchain-related processes are specially designed targeting only mining aspect, i.e., solving computational puzzle task. At same time, use wearable mobile may also become a part eCommerce operation, especially during on-charge time. paper considers possibility using large number constrained to support operation with low impact on...

Abstract Animals respond to changes in food availability by adjusting sleep and foraging strategies optimize their fitness. Wild populations of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, display highly variable levels starvation resistance that are dependent on geographic location, availability, evolutionary history. How behaviors include feeding vary with increased is unclear. We have generated resistant flies through experimental evolution investigate relationship between resistance. Outbred...

Sleep is conserved across phyla and can be measured through electrophysiological or behavioral characteristics. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, provides an excellent model for investigating the genetic neural mechanisms that regulate sleep. Multiple systems exist measuring fly activity, including video analysis single-beam (SB) multi-beam (MB) infrared (IR)-based monitoring. In this study, we compare multiple sleep parameters of individual flies using a custom-built video-based...

The landscape of the contemporary IoT radio access technologies (RATs) is excessively diverse, especially when it comes to such a complex environment as Smart City. On one hand, this diversity offers operators sufficient flexibility select most appropriate RAT for their target application. other becomes severe limiting factor leading high level uncertainty device vendors, who need decide, which technology support in hardware.
