Integrated Freeway Traffic Control Using Q-Learning with Adjacent Arterial Traffic Considerations [PDF]
Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of intelligent transportation system techniques such as variable speed limit (VSL), lane change (LC) control, and ramp metering (RM) in freeway traffic flow control. The integration of these techniques has the potential to further enhance the traffic operation efficiency of both freeway and adjacent ...

Arterial supply of the thoracic lobes of the thymus in dogs of the Great Dane race. [PDF]
The origins, numbers and type of arterial branches responsible for the blood supply of thoracic lobes of the thymus were studied in 28 stillborn dogs of the Great Dane, of which 18 were males and 10 were females.

Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Evidence for involvement of both IKCa and SKCa channels in hyperpolarizing responses of the rat middle cerebral artery [PDF]
Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor responses in the rat middle cerebral artery are blocked by inhibiting IKCa channels alone, contrasting with peripheral vessels where block of both IKCa and SKCa is required.

Patrolling Mechanics of Non-Classical Monocytes in Vascular Inflammation
Non-classical monocytes have emerged as the preeminent vascular housekeepers. Continuous intravascular screening is enabled by slow patrolling on the endothelium and allows a rapid response to local perturbations.

Wall Shear Stress Analysis in Stenosed Carotid Arteries with Different Shapes of Plaque [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a disease caused due to formation of plaque into the artery. Increase in plaque affects the wall shear stress. The present study is performed to calculate wall shear stress in different geometries of stenosed carotid artery. A 2D model of different geometries is generated using CFD for Non- Newtonian model.

Automatic extraction of coronary arteries using deep learning in invasive coronary angiograms [PDF]
Accurate extraction of coronary arteries from invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is important in clinical decision-making for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we develop a method using deep learning to automatically extract the coronary artery lumen. Methods.

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and
