Neutrophil-Mediated Regulation of Innate and Adaptive Immunity: The Role of Myeloperoxidase by Dragana Odobasic, A. Richard Kitching, Stephen R. Holdsworth

“…Being armed with numerous pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, these phagocytes can also contribute to the development of various autoimmune diseases and can positively or negatively regulate the generation of adaptive immune responses. In this review, we will discuss how myeloperoxidase, the most abundant neutrophil granule protein, plays a key role in the various functions of neutrophils in innate and adaptive immunity.…”

Adaptive pilot design for OFDM based on deep reinforcement learning by Qiaoshou LIU, Xiong ZHOU, Shuang LIU, Yifeng DENG

“…For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, an adaptive pilot design algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.The pilot design problem was formulated as a Markov decision process, where the index of pilot positions was defined as actions.A reward function based on mean squared error (MSE) reduction strategy was formulated, and deep reinforcement learning was employed to update the pilot positions.The pilot was adaptively and dynamically allocated based on channel conditions, thereby utilizing channel characteristics to combat channel fading.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has significantly improved channel estimation performance compared with the traditional pilot uniform allocation scheme under three typical multipath channels of 3GPP.…”

Neuronal adaptation translates stimulus gaps into a population code. by Chun-Wei Yuan, Leila Khouri, Benedikt Grothe, Christian Leibold

“…Phenomenological (ICA) and functional (discrimination performance) analyses of our simulated networks show that the experimentally observed patterns may result from heterogeneous adaptation, where adaptation provides gap detection at the single neuron level and neuronal heterogeneity ensures discriminable population codes for the whole range of gap sizes in the input. …”

Adaptive Bayesian Nonparametric Regression via Stationary Smoothness Priors by Justin L. Tobias

“…A procedure for Bayesian nonparametric regression is described that automatically adjusts the degree of smoothing as the curvature of the underlying function changes. Relative to previous work adopting a similar approach that either employs a single global smoothing parameter or assumes that the smoothing process follows a random walk, the model considered here permits adaptive smoothing and imposes stationarity in the autoregressive smoothing process. …”

Terrain Adaptability Mechanism of Large Ruminants’ Feet on the Kinematics View by Qun Zhang, Xilun Ding, Kun Xu

“…Ruminants could adjust the position of the metacarpophalangeal joint or metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP or MCP) with no relative motion between the tip of feet and the ground, which ensures the adhesion and dexterity in stance phase. These functions are derived from an example from chamois’ feet and several assumptions, which are believed to demonstrate the foundation of adaptation of ruminants and ensure a stable and continuous movement.…”
