Learning Optimal Crowd Evacuation from Scratch Through Self‐Play

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
How would a superintelligent crowd behave in emergencies? This study develops an approach using multiagent deep reinforcement learning combined with self‐play to discover optimal evacuation strategies for pressure‐aware agents. The model learns behaviors such as queuing and zipper‐merging that significantly surpass traditional approaches in fatality ...

Network traffic behaviour near phase transition point [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We explore packet traffic dynamics in a data network model near phase transition point from free flow to congestion. The model of data network is an abstraction of the Network Layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model of packet ...

Pimobendan alleviates myocyte apoptosis and fibrosis associated with mitral regurgitation by targeting endoplasmic reticulum stress

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) causes volume overload and disrupts Ca2+ homeostasis. The volume overload leads to cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis inferred from histopathological studies. Cardiac hypertrophy was identified by increased myocyte cross‐sectional area, left atrial‐to‐aortic root ratio, and left ventricular internal diameter at end‐diastole ...
