Modeling micro-macro pedestrian counterflow in heterogeneous domains [PDF]
, 2010 We present a micro-macro strategy able to describe the dynamics of crowds in heterogeneous media. Herein we focus on the example of pedestrian counterflow. The main working tools include the use of mass and porosity measures together with their transport

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Asthma, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory infections are severe respiratory conditions that significantly contribute to global morbidity and mortality. Airway mucus hypersecretion is an important common pathophysiological and clinical manifestation of these diseases and is closely associated ...

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.

Challenges and possible clinical applications of human embryonic stem cell research [PDF]
, 2012 Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) are harvested from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo and possess several unique characteristics. First, they are self-renewing, meaning they can grow indefinitely in an appropriate culture environment ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

TNCOA: Efficient Exploration via Observation‐Action Constraint on Trajectory‐Based Intrinsic Reward
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient exploration is critical in handling sparse rewards and partial observability in deep reinforcement learning. However, most existing intrinsic reward methods based on novelty rely on single‐step observations or Euclidean distances.
