Genomic Structural Variations Provide Insights Into Litter Size and Teat Number Traits in Hu Sheep

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Here, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. Two candidate genes associated with litter size and teat number traits were identified, namely MAST2 and AFDN. ABSTRACT Litter size and the teat number are important economic indicators in sheep production.

Serum Proteomic Signatures of Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk and Response: Analysis of a Rheumatoid Arthritis Interception Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Our study objective was to identify serum protein signatures associated with progression to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and response to abatacept in at‐risk individuals. Methods A total of 440 serum samples from 118 APIPPRA (Arthritis Prevention In the Preclinical Phase of RA with Abatacept) study participants were selected from baseline to RA ...

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Rigid Designation and Definite Descriptions

, 2011
The aim of this paper is to discuss an idea that referentially used definite descriptions are rigid designators or, at least, „weakly” rigid designators in some sense of this term.

From Interferon Signature to the Clinical Landscape: Type I Interferonopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Type I interferonopathies are heterogeneous diseases driven by dysregulated IFN‐I signaling. Diagnosis is challenging due to clinical/molecular variability and the need for IFN‐I quantification. Objective To characterize the clinical, immunological, genetic, molecular profiles of patients with suspected enhanced IFN‐I signaling, and assess ...

A compatibility criterion for optimal control and information aggregation in hierarchical network systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract Large swarms often adopt a hierarchical network structure that incorporates information aggregation. Although this approach offers significant advantages in terms of communication efficiency and computational complexity, it can also lead to degradation due to information constraints.

Incomplete Definite Descriptions, Demonstrative Completion and Redundancy

, 2001
"Incomplete" definite descriptions (i.e. descriptions that violate the uniqueness constraint) have been offered various accounts in semantics.

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

Definite Descriptions and Hybrid Tense Logic

We provide a version of first-order hybrid tense logic with predicate abstracts and definite descriptions as the only non-rigid terms. It is formalised by means of a tableau calculus working on sat-formulas.

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...
