description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2024Publisher:Pensoft Publishers Matt Woodburn; Laurence Livermore; Esme Chapman; Ruth Benny; Nancy Chillingworth; Polly Parry; Ben Scott; Vincent Smith; Helen Hardy;There have been few, if any, open data and information management policies openly published from natural science collections. This paper contextualises the rationale for publishing the Open Information and Exceptions Policy of the Natural History Museum, London and provides the policy itself. The policy outlines how the Natural History Museum puts the principle of 'open by default' into practice; and includes sections on purpose and scope, relationship to relevant legislation (which always takes precedence over the policy), the categories of possible exceptions to open information release, what happens when exceptions are declared, relations to UK government information security classifications and definition of terms.

This new effort has initiated a singular vision for digitization that incorporates priorities, workflows, and resources to greatly improve the efficiency and throughput of digitization in collections. Smaller institutions are now starting to see the benefit of creating a more structured cross-disciplinary approach to digitization, allowing for better awareness and resourcing of digitization needs. The workshop brought together natural sciences digitization professionals from the USA and EU, highlighting lessons learned and best practices to realize the benefits of a coordinated approach including advocacy for digitization, accelerating digitization efficiency and, ultimately, increasing digital collections access and usability to address societal challenges, such as biodiversity decline. Insights, lessons learned and initial thoughts on best practices are described, and the supporting workshop resources are shared so that others can benefit.

El-Gazzar; Mohamed H. Mahmoud; +2 AuthorsOyepata Simeon Joseph; Opeyemi Tosin Joseph; Ahmed M. El-Gazzar; Mohamed H. Mahmoud; Moses Aziakpono Omoirri; El-Saber Batibha Gaber;In this study, the effects of subacute Pterocarpus santalinus (rosewood) consumption on lung, brain, stomach, and hematological parameters in Wistar rats were evaluated. Mice of both sexes were used in the experiment. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were given 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg of red sandalwood, and group 1 was given distilled water (10 ml/kg). Animals were kept in standard cages for 28 days and extracts were taken orally before being weighed and sacrificed. Histological analysis was performed using the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining technique. The brain, spleen, and stomach were also carefully removed and examined histologically. RBC, HGB, and MCV decreased slightly (P < 0.05), but there was no change in neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, or platelets. No significant (P < 0.05) changes were observed in the brain, spleen, and stomach of mice in all dose groups. Lung histopathological analysis showed no difference in alveolitis and perivasculitis at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, but there were no changes in the brain and intestines. The plant is also safe to eat. Due to minor hematological effects, caution is advised with long-term use.

In this paper, we consider the issue of selecting service plant species according to their potential to provide ecosystem services. To tackle that issue, we adopt an approach based both on a formalized representation of domain knowledge, which enables reasoning, and on the exploitation of available data, collected independently of the targeted application. More specifically, we rely on the one hand on recent scientific results in agronomy linking functional traits (i.e., measurable characteristics of plant species) to ecosystem services, and on the other hand on data about functional traits collected by the research community in ecology. The architecture of our system is inspired by the ontologybased data access paradigm, which allows to combine data and knowledge in a principled way. We provide a methodology to acquire scientific knowledge in the form of diagrams linked to data sources, as well as a formalization in a logical rule-based language. Importantly, our rules are independent from specific diagrams and data, to ensure genericity and facilitate the evolution of the system. We detail the construction of a knowledge base devoted to vine grassing, i.e., installing herbaceous service plants in vineyards, and present an evaluation of the system's results on this use case. We finally discuss the lessons learned and further challenges to be met. International audience

DiSSCo aims to bring together natural science collections from 175 museums, botanical gardens, universities and research institutes across 23 countries in a distributed infrastructure that makes these collections physically and digitally open and accessible for all forms of research and innovation. DiSSCo RI entered the ESFRI roadmap in 2018 and successfully concluded its Preparatory Phase in early 2023. The RI is now transitioning towards the constitution of its legal entity (an ERIC) and the start of its scaled-up construction (implementation) programme. This publication is an abridged version of the successful grant proposal for the DiSSCo Transition Project which has the goal of ensuring the seamless transition of the DiSSCo RI from its Preparatory Phase to the Construction Phase (expected to start in 2025). In this transition period, the Project will address five objectives building on the outcomes of the Preparatory Phase project: 1) Advance the DiSSCo ERIC process and complete its policy framework, ensuring the smooth early-phase Implementation of DISSCo; 2) Engage & support DiSSCo National Nodes to strengthen national commitments; 3) Advance the development of core e-services to avoid the accumulation of technical debt before the start of the Implementation Phase; 4) Continue international collaboration on standards & best practices needed for the DiSSCo service provision; and 5) Continue supporting DiSSCo RI interim governance bodies and transition them to the DiSSCo ERIC formal governance. The Project’s impact will be measured against the increase in the RI's overall Implementation Readiness Level (IRL). More specifically, we will monitor its impact towards reaching the required level of maturity in four of the five dimensions of the IRL that can benefit from further developments. These include the organisational, financial, technological and data readiness levels.

However, efforts to monitor wildlife and other species groups are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased, and lack integration in Europe. To bridge this gap, the MAMBO project will develop, test and implement enabling tools for monitoring conservation status and ecological requirements of species and habitats for which knowledge gaps still exist.

MAMBO is built around stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange (WP1) and the integration of new technology with existing research infrastructures (WP2). MAMBO will develop, test, and demonstrate new tools for monitoring species (WP3) and habitats (WP4) in a co-design process to create novel standards for species and habitat monitoring across the EU and beyond. MAMBO will work with stakeholders to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and investigate the requirements for setting up a virtual lab to automate workflow deployment and efficient computing of the vast data streams (from on the ground sensors, and remote sensing) required to improve monitoring activities across Europe (WP4). Together with stakeholders, MAMBO will assess these new tools at demonstration sites distributed across Europe (WP5) to identify bottlenecks, analyze the cost-effectiveness of different tools, integrate data streams and upscale results (WP6). This will feed into the co-design of future, improved and more cost-effective monitoring schemes for species and habitats using novel technologies (WP7), and thus lead to a better management of protected sites and species.

Despite benefits brought by recent neurosurgical robots, surgical safety and surgeon-robot collaboration remain significant challenges. In this article, we analyze and address these problems in the context of brain biopsy, by proposing a semi-autonomous system.A robotic module is designed for the automation of all the brain biopsy procedures, and a biopsy cannula with tissue blocker is developed to avoid tissue excess and haemorrhage. In addition, two methods are proposed for surgical safety and surgeon-robot collaboration enhancement. First, a priority-based control framework is proposed for neuronavigation with simultaneous optical tracking line-of-sight maintenance and surgeon avoidance. Second, after neuronavigation, an adaptive reconfiguration method is developed to optimize the arm angle of KUKA robot based on the surgeon's pose, for workspace interference minimization, high robot dexterity, and joint-limit avoidance.Effectiveness of the proposed solution demonstrated by simulations and experiments.The system can perform automatic navigation with simultaneous optical tracking maintenance and surgeon avoidance, autonomous brain biopsy, and adaptive reconfiguration for workspace interference minimization.This work improves existing neurosurgical systems, in terms of autonomy level from mechanical guidance to task autonomy, surgical safety, and surgeon-robot collaboration.

While sparsity is a natural way to define a reward in realistic robot scenarios, it provides poor learning signals for the agent, thus making the design of good reward functions challenging. To overcome this challenge learning from human feedback through an implicit brain-computer interface (BCI) is used. We combined a BCI with deep RL for robot training in a 3-D physical realistic simulation environment. In a first study, we compared the feasibility of different electroencephalography (EEG) systems (wet- vs. dry-based electrodes) and its application for automatic classification of perceived errors during a robot task with different machine learning models. In a second study, we compared the performance of the BCI-based deep RL training to feedback explicitly given by participants. Our findings from the first study indicate the use of a high-quality dry-based EEG-system can provide a robust and fast method for automatically assessing robot behavior using a sophisticated convolutional neural network machine learning model. The results of our second study prove that the implicit BCI-based deep RL version in combination with the dry EEG-system can significantly accelerate the learning process in a realistic 3-D robot simulation environment. Performance of the BCI-based trained deep RL model was even comparable to that achieved by the approach with explicit human feedback. Our findings emphasize the usage of BCI-based deep RL methods as a valid alternative in those human-robot applications where no access to cognitive demanding explicit human feedback is available.

The processing of those submodalities and their interactions remains understudied. We developed a paradigm consisting of three types of touch tuned in terms of their force and velocity for different submodalities: discriminative touch (haptics), affective touch (C-tactile touch), and knismesis (alerting tickle). Touch was delivered with a high-precision robotic rotary touch stimulation device. A total of 39 healthy individuals participated in the study. EEG cluster analysis revealed a decrease in alpha and beta range (mu-rhythm) as well as theta and delta increase most pronounced to the most salient and fastest type of stimulation. The participants confirmed that slower stimuli targeted to affective touch low-threshold receptors were the most pleasant ones, and less intense stimuli aimed at knismesis were indeed the most ticklish ones, but those sensations did not form an EEG cluster, probably implying their processing involves deeper brain structures that are less accessible with EEG.

This paper contextualises the rationale for publishing the Open Information and Exceptions Policy of the Natural History Museum, London and provides the policy itself. The policy outlines how the Natural History Museum puts the principle of 'open by default' into practice; and includes sections on purpose and scope, relationship to relevant legislation (which always takes precedence over the policy), the categories of possible exceptions to open information release, what happens when exceptions are declared, relations to UK government information security classifications and definition of terms.

This new effort has initiated a singular vision for digitization that incorporates priorities, workflows, and resources to greatly improve the efficiency and throughput of digitization in collections. Smaller institutions are now starting to see the benefit of creating a more structured cross-disciplinary approach to digitization, allowing for better awareness and resourcing of digitization needs. The workshop brought together natural sciences digitization professionals from the USA and EU, highlighting lessons learned and best practices to realize the benefits of a coordinated approach including advocacy for digitization, accelerating digitization efficiency and, ultimately, increasing digital collections access and usability to address societal challenges, such as biodiversity decline. Insights, lessons learned and initial thoughts on best practices are described, and the supporting workshop resources are shared so that others can benefit.

Mahmoud; Moses Aziakpono Omoirri; El-Saber Batibha Gaber;In this study, the effects of subacute Pterocarpus santalinus (rosewood) consumption on lung, brain, stomach, and hematological parameters in Wistar rats were evaluated. Mice of both sexes were used in the experiment. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were given 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg of red sandalwood, and group 1 was given distilled water (10 ml/kg). Animals were kept in standard cages for 28 days and extracts were taken orally before being weighed and sacrificed. Histological analysis was performed using the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining technique. The brain, spleen, and stomach were also carefully removed and examined histologically. RBC, HGB, and MCV decreased slightly (P < 0.05), but there was no change in neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, or platelets. No significant (P < 0.05) changes were observed in the brain, spleen, and stomach of mice in all dose groups. Lung histopathological analysis showed no difference in alveolitis and perivasculitis at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, but there were no changes in the brain and intestines. The plant is also safe to eat. Due to minor hematological effects, caution is advised with long-term use.

In this paper, we consider the issue of selecting service plant species according to their potential to provide ecosystem services. To tackle that issue, we adopt an approach based both on a formalized representation of domain knowledge, which enables reasoning, and on the exploitation of available data, collected independently of the targeted application. More specifically, we rely on the one hand on recent scientific results in agronomy linking functional traits (i.e., measurable characteristics of plant species) to ecosystem services, and on the other hand on data about functional traits collected by the research community in ecology. The architecture of our system is inspired by the ontologybased data access paradigm, which allows to combine data and knowledge in a principled way. We provide a methodology to acquire scientific knowledge in the form of diagrams linked to data sources, as well as a formalization in a logical rule-based language. Importantly, our rules are independent from specific diagrams and data, to ensure genericity and facilitate the evolution of the system. We detail the construction of a knowledge base devoted to vine grassing, i.e., installing herbaceous service plants in vineyards, and present an evaluation of the system's results on this use case. We finally discuss the lessons learned and further challenges to be met. International audience

DiSSCo aims to bring together natural science collections from 175 museums, botanical gardens, universities and research institutes across 23 countries in a distributed infrastructure that makes these collections physically and digitally open and accessible for all forms of research and innovation. DiSSCo RI entered the ESFRI roadmap in 2018 and successfully concluded its Preparatory Phase in early 2023. The RI is now transitioning towards the constitution of its legal entity (an ERIC) and the start of its scaled-up construction (implementation) programme. This publication is an abridged version of the successful grant proposal for the DiSSCo Transition Project which has the goal of ensuring the seamless transition of the DiSSCo RI from its Preparatory Phase to the Construction Phase (expected to start in 2025). In this transition period, the Project will address five objectives building on the outcomes of the Preparatory Phase project: 1) Advance the DiSSCo ERIC process and complete its policy framework, ensuring the smooth early-phase Implementation of DISSCo; 2) Engage & support DiSSCo National Nodes to strengthen national commitments; 3) Advance the development of core e-services to avoid the accumulation of technical debt before the start of the Implementation Phase; 4) Continue international collaboration on standards & best practices needed for the DiSSCo service provision; and 5) Continue supporting DiSSCo RI interim governance bodies and transition them to the DiSSCo ERIC formal governance. The Project’s impact will be measured against the increase in the RI's overall Implementation Readiness Level (IRL). More specifically, we will monitor its impact towards reaching the required level of maturity in four of the five dimensions of the IRL that can benefit from further developments. These include the organisational, financial, technological and data readiness levels.

However, efforts to monitor wildlife and other species groups are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased, and lack integration in Europe. To bridge this gap, the MAMBO project will develop, test and implement enabling tools for monitoring conservation status and ecological requirements of species and habitats for which knowledge gaps still exist.

MAMBO is built around stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange (WP1) and the integration of new technology with existing research infrastructures (WP2). MAMBO will develop, test, and demonstrate new tools for monitoring species (WP3) and habitats (WP4) in a co-design process to create novel standards for species and habitat monitoring across the EU and beyond. MAMBO will work with stakeholders to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and investigate the requirements for setting up a virtual lab to automate workflow deployment and efficient computing of the vast data streams (from on the ground sensors, and remote sensing) required to improve monitoring activities across Europe (WP4). Together with stakeholders, MAMBO will assess these new tools at demonstration sites distributed across Europe (WP5) to identify bottlenecks, analyze the cost-effectiveness of different tools, integrate data streams and upscale results (WP6). This will feed into the co-design of future, improved and more cost-effective monitoring schemes for species and habitats using novel technologies (WP7), and thus lead to a better management of protected sites and species.

Despite benefits brought by recent neurosurgical robots, surgical safety and surgeon-robot collaboration remain significant challenges. In this article, we analyze and address these problems in the context of brain biopsy, by proposing a semi-autonomous system.A robotic module is designed for the automation of all the brain biopsy procedures, and a biopsy cannula with tissue blocker is developed to avoid tissue excess and haemorrhage. In addition, two methods are proposed for surgical safety and surgeon-robot collaboration enhancement. First, a priority-based control framework is proposed for neuronavigation with simultaneous optical tracking line-of-sight maintenance and surgeon avoidance. Second, after neuronavigation, an adaptive reconfiguration method is developed to optimize the arm angle of KUKA robot based on the surgeon's pose, for workspace interference minimization, high robot dexterity, and joint-limit avoidance.Effectiveness of the proposed solution demonstrated by simulations and experiments.The system can perform automatic navigation with simultaneous optical tracking maintenance and surgeon avoidance, autonomous brain biopsy, and adaptive reconfiguration for workspace interference minimization.This work improves existing neurosurgical systems, in terms of autonomy level from mechanical guidance to task autonomy, surgical safety, and surgeon-robot collaboration.

While sparsity is a natural way to define a reward in realistic robot scenarios, it provides poor learning signals for the agent, thus making the design of good reward functions challenging. To overcome this challenge learning from human feedback through an implicit brain-computer interface (BCI) is used. We combined a BCI with deep RL for robot training in a 3-D physical realistic simulation environment. In a first study, we compared the feasibility of different electroencephalography (EEG) systems (wet- vs. dry-based electrodes) and its application for automatic classification of perceived errors during a robot task with different machine learning models. In a second study, we compared the performance of the BCI-based deep RL training to feedback explicitly given by participants. Our findings from the first study indicate the use of a high-quality dry-based EEG-system can provide a robust and fast method for automatically assessing robot behavior using a sophisticated convolutional neural network machine learning model. The results of our second study prove that the implicit BCI-based deep RL version in combination with the dry EEG-system can significantly accelerate the learning process in a realistic 3-D robot simulation environment. Performance of the BCI-based trained deep RL model was even comparable to that achieved by the approach with explicit human feedback. Our findings emphasize the usage of BCI-based deep RL methods as a valid alternative in those human-robot applications where no access to cognitive demanding explicit human feedback is available.

The processing of those submodalities and their interactions remains understudied. We developed a paradigm consisting of three types of touch tuned in terms of their force and velocity for different submodalities: discriminative touch (haptics), affective touch (C-tactile touch), and knismesis (alerting tickle). Touch was delivered with a high-precision robotic rotary touch stimulation device. A total of 39 healthy individuals participated in the study. EEG cluster analysis revealed a decrease in alpha and beta range (mu-rhythm) as well as theta and delta increase most pronounced to the most salient and fastest type of stimulation. The participants confirmed that slower stimuli targeted to affective touch low-threshold receptors were the most pleasant ones, and less intense stimuli aimed at knismesis were indeed the most ticklish ones, but those sensations did not form an EEG cluster, probably implying their processing involves deeper brain structures that are less accessible with EEG.
