Ihu ʻīlio: hiki i kekahi mea ke hoʻohālikelike me ia?

ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻomaka lōʻihi ai ka poʻe e hoʻohana i kēia hiki o nā ʻīlio no kā lākou hana ponoʻī:

• Kōkua nā ʻīlio i ka hoʻokolokolo ahi. Hiki i ko lākou ihu ke honi ma kahi o hoʻokahi biliona teaspoon o ka ʻaila - ʻaʻohe mea like me kēia ʻano o ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻāpana ahi.
• Kōkua nā ʻīlio i nā mākaʻi a me nā pūʻali koa e ʻimi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā pōkā a me nā mea pahū ʻē aʻe.
• Kōkua lākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka poʻe ma ka honi ʻana i nā hana ʻimi a hoʻopakele.
• Ua ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa hiki ke aʻo ʻia nā ʻīlio e ʻike i kekahi ʻano o ka maʻi kanesa, e like me ka maʻi maʻi ovarian a me ka prostate, melanoma a me ka maʻi ʻāʻī, a me ka ʻike ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi a me ka maʻi Parkinson. Wahi a kahi noiʻi a Medical Detection Dogs, hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia nā ʻīlio e ʻike i ke ʻala o ka maʻi, e like me kahi teaspoon o ke kō i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia me ka wai i loko o ʻelua mau loko ʻauʻau ʻOlumepika.

Akā ʻo ka pilikia, ʻaʻole nui nā ʻīlio i aʻo ʻia i kēia mau mea a pau. A he pipiʻi loa kā lākou aʻo ʻana, no laila he hemahema o nā "ihu ʻīlio". No laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ka makemake o ka poʻe ʻepekema e hana hou i kēia mana canine kupaianaha me ke kōkua o nā mea mechanical, ʻenehana a synthetic paha.

Hiki i ka ʻepekema ke hoʻohālike i ka ihu o ka ʻīlio?

Ma ke Keʻena ʻenehana ʻenehana ʻo Massachusetts, ua alakaʻi ka physicist Andreas Mershin, a me kāna kumu aʻoaʻo ʻo Shuguang Zhang, i ke ʻano o nā haʻawina e aʻo ai i ka hana ʻana o ka ihu o ka ʻīlio, a laila hana i kahi lopako hiki ke hana hou i kēia kaʻina hana. Ma muli o nā hoʻokolohua like ʻole, ua hoʻokō lākou i ka hana ʻana i ka "Nano-nose" - ʻo ia paha ka hoʻāʻo kūleʻa mua loa e hana i kahi ʻano honi. Akā i kēia manawa, he mea ʻike wale kēia Nano-Ihu, e like me ka mea ʻike carbon monoxide, no ka laʻana - ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke wehewehe i ka ʻikepili i loaʻa iā ia.

Ke ho'āʻo nei ʻo Startup Aromyx e hoʻohana i ke ʻano honi no nā kumu kūʻai. Makemake ka hui e kau i nā mea hoʻokipa olfactory kanaka 400 a pau ma kahi pahu, ʻaʻole like me Nano-Nose, e hoʻohana wale ana ma kahi o 20 mau mea loaʻa kikoʻī, e pili ana i ka hoʻohana i manaʻo ʻia.

ʻO ka pahuhopu nui o ia mau papahana, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i mea e honi ai e like me ka ihu o ka ʻīlio. A ʻaʻole paha i mamao loa.

Akā, loaʻa i nā ʻīlio nā ihu maikaʻi loa?

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi mau ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe i loaʻa i ka ʻono maikaʻi loa a ʻoi aku ma mua o nā ʻīlio ma kēia.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ke ʻano o ka honi i nā elepani: ua loaʻa iā lākou ka helu nui loa o nā genes e hoʻoholo ai i nā ʻala. Hiki i nā Elepani ke haʻi i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā ʻohana kanaka ma Kenya, e like me ka noiʻi ʻana i ka makahiki 2007: ʻo kekahi ʻohana (Masai) e hahai a pepehi i nā elepani, ʻoiai ʻo kekahi ʻohana (Kamba) ʻaʻole.

Ua oi aku ka bea mamua o na ilio. ʻOiai ʻelua hapakolu ka liʻiliʻi o ko lākou lolo ma mua o ke kanaka, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ko lākou honi ʻana. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka bea polar ke honi i ka wahine mai hoʻokahi haneli mau mile.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻiole a me ka ʻiole no ko lākou ʻano honi. A hiki i ka manō keʻokeʻo nui ke ʻike i hoʻokahi kulu koko mai hoʻokahi mile ka mamao.

Akā, ua maopopo, ʻaʻole hiki i kēia mau holoholona ke kōkua i ke kanaka, ʻaʻole like me nā ʻīlio, ʻo ia ke kumu o ka ʻala o ka ʻīlio i manaʻo nui ʻia e nā kānaka.
