Snakebites in Cameroon by Species Whose Effects Are Poorly Described
Tropical Medicine and Infectious DiseaseSnakes responsible for bites are rarely identified, resulting in a loss of information about snakebites from venomous species whose venom effects are poorly understood.

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): Reconstruction of the redshift-space galaxy density field [PDF]
A&A 583, A61 (2015), 2015 Aims. Using the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) we aim to jointly estimate the key parameters that describe the galaxy density field and its spatial correlations in redshift space. Methods. We use the Bayesian formalism to jointly reconstruct the redshift-space galaxy density field, power spectrum, galaxy bias and galaxy luminosity ...

Viper venom for diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Kidney International, 2012 Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers are thought to have a specific renoprotective effect in diabetes. Hirst et al. report the results of randomized clinical trials assessing the effects of RAAS inhibitors on urinary albumin excretion levels in ...

Science Triggers and Situational Interest in Everyday Family Life
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interest in science is critical for science learning. The family plays a major role in supporting the development of children's interest in science by eliciting and fostering interest and engagement with science content and practice. This study characterizes triggers for interest in science in everyday family life and measures the duration of ...

The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Survey (VIPERS): First Release of spectra [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We release the spectra for the more than 57000 objects presented in the First VIPERS Data Release. For each object we distribute the observed, wavelength and flux calibrated spectrum, as well as cleaned spectra, where artifacts due to fringing are removed. We also provide the sky and noise spectrum and the 2D spectrum. Data can be downloaded from http:/

Video Prediction Models as Rewards for Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Specifying reward signals that allow agents to learn complex behaviors is a long-standing challenge in reinforcement learning. A promising approach is to extract preferences for behaviors from unlabeled videos, which are widely available on the internet.
