D-optimal Approximate Design for Binary Regression and Quantal Response in Toxicology Studies [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We provide a systematic treatment of $D$-optimal design for binary regression and quantal response models in toxicology studies. For the two-parameter case, we provide an analytical equation (WC equation) for computing the $D$-optimal design quickly and when analytical solution is not available, we apply particle swarm optimization to solve for the $D$-

Spectrum of poisoning in Bundelkhand region
Asian Journal of Medical SciencesBackground: In Bundelkhand region, 15–18% patients who are attended in the emergency setting comprises poisoning and 60–70% of which are agriculture-based poisons due to its easy accessibility.

The Lancet Global Health, 2017 Background: Poisoning accounts for 30% of suicides in India and accidental and environmental exposures to poisons are frequent. The most common poisonings in India involve insecticides, rodenticides, snakebites, alcohols, sedative hypnotics, opioids, and

Poison Attack and Defense on Deep Source Code Processing Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In the software engineering community, deep learning (DL) has recently been applied to many source code processing tasks. Due to the poor interpretability of DL models, their security vulnerabilities require scrutiny. Recently, researchers have identified an emergent security threat, namely poison attack. The attackers aim to inject insidious backdoors

Time-dependent toxicity of neonicotinoids and other toxicants: Implications for a new approach to risk assessment [PDF]
, 2011 A fundamental goal of toxicology is to determine safe levels of exposure to potentially poisonous substances for humans and the environment. Traditionally, safe levels of a chemical have been derived from the non-observable effect level (NOEL) estimated ...

A Proposal to Measure the Quasiparticle Poisoning Time of Majorana Bound States [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 89, 140505 (2014), 2013 We propose a method of measuring the fermion parity lifetime of Majorana fermion modes due to quasiparticle poisoning. We model quasiparticle poisoning by coupling the Majorana modes to electron reservoirs, explicitly breaking parity conservation in the system. This poisoning broadens and shortens the resonance peak associated with Majorana modes. In a
