RECURRENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER,TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUSAND OXIDATIVE STRESS by P. Marinov, Y. Petkov

“…Because ROS is an essential mediator for the activation of pro-inflammatory signalling pathways, obesity and hyperglycaemia-induced ROS production may favour the induction of M1-like pro-inflammatory macrophages during the onset and progression of diabetes. By generating more reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulating markers of chronic inflammation, hyperglycaemia can lead to vascular dysfunction. …”

Supervised optimal control in complex continuous systems with trajectory imitation and reinforcement learning by Yingjun Liu, Fuchun Liu, Renwei Huang

“…Reinforcement learning (RL) automatically learns complex decisions through trial and error, but it requires the design of precise reward functions combined with domain knowledge. For complex scenarios where the reward function cannot be achieved or is only with sparse rewards, we proposed a novel supervised optimal control framework based on trajectory imitation (TI) and reinforcement learning (RL) in this paper. …”
