Percolation on interacting, antagonistic networks [PDF]
Recently, new results on percolation of interdependent networks have shown that the percolation transition can be first order. In this paper we show that, when considering antagonistic interactions between interacting networks, the percolation process might present a bistability of the equilibrium solution.

Selective review and commentary on emerging pharmacotherapies for opioid addiction. [PDF]
Pharmacotherapies for opioid addiction under active development in the US include lofexidine (primarily for managing withdrawal symptoms) and Probuphine®, a distinctive mode of delivering buprenorphine for six months, thus relieving patients, clinicians,

Towards Toxic and Narcotic Medication Detection with Rotated Object Detector [PDF]
Recent years have witnessed the advancement of deep learning vision technologies and applications in the medical industry. Intelligent devices for special medication management are in great need of, which requires more precise detection algorithms to identify the specifications and locations.

Percolation on interdependent networks with a fraction of antagonistic interactions [PDF]
Recently, the percolation transition has been characterized on interacting networks both in presence of interdependent and antagonistic interactions. Here we characterize the phase diagram of the percolation transition in two Poisson interdependent networks with a percentage q of antagonistic nodes. We show that this system can present a bistability of

Beyond “Making Poland Great Again.” Nostalgia in Polish Populist and Non‐populist Discourses1
Nostalgia can be triggered not only by personal recollections but also by exposure to narratives or images evoking desirable pasts, more or less fictional, and inducing feelings of longing for them. We analyze the institutional and semiotic machinery involved in the cultural construction of nostalgia in Poland and its role in generating sentiments that

The Evolution of Substance Use Coverage in the Philadelphia Inquirer [PDF]
The media's representation of illicit substance use can lead to harmful stereotypes and stigmatization for individuals struggling with addiction, ultimately influencing public perception, policy, and public health outcomes. To explore how the discourse and coverage of illicit drug use changed over time, this study analyzes 157,476 articles published in

Interactions of narcotic antagonists and antagonist-analgesics
Abstract In the rat the potent narcotic antagonist N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7α- (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-tetrahydronororipavine (M5050, Reckitt), which itself lacks analgesic activity, resembled naloxone in its capacity to reverse the antinociceptive effects of morphine antagonist-analgesics. The nociceptive stimulus employed

Central and peripheral mechanisms of narcotic antitussives: codeine-sensitive and -resistant coughs [PDF]
Narcotic antitussives such as codeine reveal the antitussive effect primarily via the μ-opioid receptor in the central nervous system (CNS). The κ-opioid receptor also seems to contribute partly to the production of the antitussive effect of the drugs ...

Random Antagonistic Matrices [PDF]
The ensemble of antagonistic matrices is introduced and studied. In antagonistic matrices the entries $\mathcal A_{i,j}$ and $\mathcal A_{j,i}$ are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This generalization of antisymmetric matrices is suggested by the linearized dynamics of competitive species in ecology.

Opioid stimulation in the ventral tegmental area facilitates the onset of maternal behavior in rats [PDF]
This research investigated the effect of an increase or decrease in opioid activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) on the onset of maternal behavior in rats.
