Snake Bite Presenting as Haemolytic Uremic Section Syndrome: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Snake bite is predominantly an occupational hazard and causes severe health issues. Snake poisoning in India is a significant and prevalent cause of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). In India, the occurrence of AKI after snake bite is 13-32%.

Measuring the growth of structure by matching dark matter haloes to galaxies with VIPERS and SDSS [PDF]
MNRAS Volume 489, Issue 1, October 2019, Pages 653-662, 2019 We test the history of structure formation from redshift 1 to today by matching galaxies from VIPERS and SDSS with dark matter haloes in the MultiDark SMDPL N-body simulation. We first show that the standard subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) recipe implemented with MultiDark characterizes the clustering of galaxies well both at redshift 0 for SDSS and ...

Ecological Applications, 2021 Snakebite envenoming is a major neglected tropical health issue. The high incidence of snakebites in tropical rural communities suggests that venomous snakes and people are often in proximity but quantitative evidence is lacking.

Comparing and Combining Approximate Computing Frameworks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Approximate computing frameworks configure applications so they can operate at a range of points in an accuracy-performance trade-off space. Prior work has introduced many frameworks to create approximate programs. As approximation frameworks proliferate, it is natural to ask how they can be compared and combined to create even larger, richer trade-off

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey: Measuring the growth rate of structure around cosmic voids [PDF]
A&A 607, A54 (2017), 2016 We identified voids in the completed VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), using an algorithm based on searching for empty spheres. We measured the cross-correlation between the centres of voids and the complete galaxy catalogue. The cross-correlation function exhibits a clear anisotropy in both VIPERS fields (W1 and W4), which is ...

Comparative analyses of putative toxin gene homologs from an Old World viper, Daboia russelii [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Availability of snake genome sequences has opened up exciting areas of research on comparative genomics and gene diversity. One of the challenges in studying snake genomes is the acquisition of biological material from live animals, especially from the ...

VIPeR: Provably Efficient Algorithm for Offline RL with Neural Function Approximation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We propose a novel algorithm for offline reinforcement learning called Value Iteration with Perturbed Rewards (VIPeR), which amalgamates the pessimism principle with random perturbations of the value function. Most current offline RL algorithms explicitly construct statistical confidence regions to obtain pessimism via lower confidence bounds (LCB ...

A joint 2- and 3-point clustering analysis of the VIPERS PDR2 catalogue at z~1: breaking the degeneracy of cosmological parameters [PDF]
, 2021 We measure the galaxy 2- and 3-point correlation functions at $z=[0.5,0.7]$ and $z=[0.7, 0.9]$, from the final data release of the VIPERS survey (PDR2). We model the two statistics including a nonlinear 1-loop model for the 2-point function and a tree-level model for the 3-point function, and perform a joint likelihood analysis.
