The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure, represents one of the major causes of acute renal failure in infancy and childhood.The typical form occurring after an episode of diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli is the most frequent in Chanca Piedra children.Other
Rethinking Exploration and Experience Exploitation in Value-Based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) focuses on developing strategies to effectively train multiple agents to learn and adapt policies collaboratively.Despite being a relatively new area of research, most MARL methods are based on well-established approaches used in single-agent deep learning tasks due to their proven effectiveness
Nonassociative learning promotes respiratory entrainment to mechanical ventilation.
Patient-ventilator synchrony is a major concern in critical care and is influenced by phasic lung-volume feedback control of the respiratory rhythm.Routine clinical application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) introduces a tonic input which, if unopposed, might disrupt respiratory-ventilator entrainment through sustained activation of the
Ventrolateral Periaqueductal Gray Neurons Are Active During Urination
The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (VLPAG) is thought to be the main PAG column for bladder control.PAG neurons (especially VLPAG neurons) and neurons in the pontine micturition center (PMC) innervating the bladder detrusor have anatomical and functional synaptic connections.The prevailing viewpoint on neural control of the bladder is that PAG n
Operando single crystal neutron diffraction reveals insight into the field response mechanisms in the hydrogen-bonded KH2PO4 ferroelectric
The mechanism that facilitates polarization reorientation in KH2PO4 (KDP) was investigated using operando single-crystal neutron diffraction.Diffraction data were measured from a KDP single Fridge Fan Motor crystal during the application of alternating electric fields and were then binned into 40 increments to enable field-dependent single-crystal
