Abstract Sequences of spiking activity have been heavily implicated as potential substrates of memory formation and retrieval across many species.A parallel Black Cohosh line of recent evidence also asserts that sequential activity may arise from and be constrained by pre-existing network structure.Here we reconcile these two lines of research in t
Fast and accurate taxonomic identification of invasive trans-located ladybird beetle species is essential to prevent significant impacts on biological communities, ecosystem functions, and agricultural business economics.Therefore, in this work we propose a two-step automatic detector for ladybird beetles in random environment images as the first s

System dynamics and agent-based simulation modelling approaches have a potential as tools to evaluate the impact of policy related decision making in food value chains.The context is that a food value chain involves flows of multiple products, financial flows and decision making among the food value chain players.Each decision may be viewed from th
In common with local government organisations across the world, local authorities in the UK have responsibility for promoting health.A key part of this function is the frontline enforcement activities of officers responsible for compliance with health and nutrition claims.This study identifies attitudes, values and practices of enforcers: namely tr
