DIATOM DNA METABARCODING FOR BIOMONITORING: STRATEGIES TO AVOID MAJOR TAXONOMICAL AND BIOINFORMATICAL BIASES LIMITING MOLECULAR INDICES CAPACITIES

Diatom DNA Metabarcoding for Biomonitoring: Strategies to Avoid Major Taxonomical and Bioinformatical Biases Limiting Molecular Indices Capacities

Recent years provided intense progression in the implementation of molecular techniques in a wide variety of research fields in ecology.Biomonitoring and bioassessment can greatly benefit from DNA metabarcoding and High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) methods that potentially provide reliable, high quantity and quality standardized data in a cost- and

Evolutionary autonomous agents and the nature of apraxia

Abstract Background Evolutionary autonomous agents are robots or robot simulations whose controller is a dynamical neural network and whose evolution occurs autonomously under the guidance of a fitness function without the detailed or explicit direction of an external programmer.They are embodied agents with a simple neural network controller and a
