Organic Matter Burial in Deep-Sea Fans: A Depositional Process-Based Perspective
Organic matter burial in the deep-sea fan sediments is an important component of the long-term carbon cycle. Although there is increasing recognition of the importance of organic matter in deep-sea sediments, a major focus has been on mudstones, commonly

Reinforcement Learning of CPG-regulated Locomotion Controller for a Soft Snake Robot [PDF]
Intelligent control of soft robots is challenging due to the nonlinear and difficult-to-model dynamics. One promising model-free approach for soft robot control is reinforcement learning (RL). However, model-free RL methods tend to be computationally expensive and data-inefficient and may not yield natural and smooth locomotion patterns for soft robots.

Modeling DNA methylation dynamics with approaches from phylogenetics [PDF]
Methylation of CpG dinucleotides is a prevalent epigenetic modification that is required for proper development in vertebrates, and changes in CpG methylation are essential to cellular differentiation. Genome-wide DNA methylation assays have become increasingly common, and recently distinct stages across differentiating cellular lineages have been ...

An Integrated Programmable CPG with Bounded Output [PDF]
Cyclic motions are fundamental patterns in robotic applications including industrial manipulation and legged robot locomotion. This paper proposes an approach for the online modulation of cyclic motions in robotic applications. For this purpose, we present an integrated programmable Central Pattern Generator (CPG) for the online generation of the ...
