Collective Decision-Making in Ideal Networks: The Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff [PDF]

, 2014
We study collective decision-making in a model of human groups, with network interactions, performing two alternative choice tasks. We focus on the speed-accuracy tradeoff, i.e., the tradeoff between a quick decision and a reliable decision, for ...

Effect of sub-chronic exposure to cigarette smoke, electronic cigarette and waterpipe on human lung epithelial barrier function

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Taking into consideration a recent surge of a lung injury condition associated with electronic cigarette use, we devised an in vitro model of sub-chronic exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) in air-liquid interface, to ...

Nutritional Immunomodulation as an Approach to Decreasing the Negative Effects of Stress in Poultry Production [PDF]

, 2009
Stress can lead to changes in the immune response resulting in both increased and decreased resistance to opportunistic bacterial pathogens. Growth-promoting antibiotics have been a major tool in modulating hostpathogen interactions and limiting clinical
