Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers
VIEW, EarlyView.Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Reinforcement Learning With Timed Constraints for Robotics Motion Planning
Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.This work presents a unified automata‐based reinforcement learning framework that enforces MITL time‐bounded task specifications in both MDPs and POMDPs. Results from grid‐world and office scenarios show robust policy learning under stochastic dynamics and partial observability.

Electric Power Systems Research, 2014 Abstract Large transient overvoltages can be caused by the switching operation of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) during disconnection of induction motors. In this paper VCBs, cables, generators, busbars, induction motors and surge arresters are modeled by making use of ATP-EMTP.
