An informational study of the evolution of codes and of emerging concepts in populations of agents [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
We consider the problem of the evolution of a code within a structured population of agents. The agents try to maximise their information about their environment by acquiring information from the outputs of other agents in the population. A naive use of information-theoretic methods would assume that every agent knows how to "interpret" the information

Recurrence Risk in Pediatric Non‐Infectious Uveitis during Adalimumab Tapering: An International Multicenter Retrospective Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives This study aims to assess the risk of non‐infectious uveitis (NIU) relapse in pediatric patients undergoing Adalimumab (ADA) tapering, evaluating potential predictors of such risk Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study involving pediatric NIU patients who underwent ADA tapering due to inactive uveitis. Cox proportional

Study on the hypolipidemic effect of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide in hyperlipidemia rats based on the regulation of intestinal flora

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 191-203, January 2023., 2023
The IOP‐A has a hypolipidemic effect, which may be due to its ability to regulate the expression of CYP7A1 and SREBP‐1c, as well as to correct an imbalance in the structure of the intestinal microflora. Abstract The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) on blood lipids and its regulation on the ...

Agent TCP/IP: An Agent-to-Agent Transaction System [PDF]

arXiv
Autonomous agents represent an inevitable evolution of the internet. Current agent frameworks do not embed a standard protocol for agent-to-agent interaction, leaving existing agents isolated from their peers. As intellectual property is the native asset ingested by and produced by agents, a true agent economy requires equipping agents with a universal

Development of a Multi-Agent System for Optimal Sizing of a Commercial Complex Microgrid [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this paper, a novel intelligent method based on a multi-agent system (MAS) is applied to the problem of optimal sizing in a stand-alone office complex microgrid such that the electricity demand of the office building and the charging demand of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) charging station are met.

The role of Moringa oleifera in the development of alternative biofuels, under the concept of an integral one‐tree biorefinery: A minireview

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The Moringa oleifera oil tree is commonly known as the ‘tree of life’ or the ‘miracle tree’ owing to its multiple benefits for humans. The different parts that make up this tree (leaves, seeds and bark) have been used to treat various ailments, diseases and wounds. However, in recent years this tree is being used by the scientific community to

Reciprocal Collision Avoidance for General Nonlinear Agents using Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Finding feasible and collision-free paths for multiple nonlinear agents is challenging in the decentralized scenarios due to limited available information of other agents and complex dynamics constraints. In this paper, we propose a fast multi-agent collision avoidance algorithm for general nonlinear agents with continuous action space, where each ...
