Structural optimization of stiffened panel structures with continuous and discrete design variables using deep reinforcement learning by Ryota NONAMI, Mitsuru KITAMURA

“…Among DRL approaches, Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) has been reported as effective, yet its application to structural optimization involving high computational demands from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) remains limited. To overcome such an environment, in this study, an optimization flow for structural optimization is considered, and states, actions, and rewards appropriately representing design variables, constraint conditions, and objective functions are discussed. …”

Thyroid, neurodevelopmental, and kidney toxicities of common organic UV filters in embryo-larval zebrafish (Danio rerio), and their potential links by Ba Reum Kwon, Ah-Reum Jo, Inae Lee, Gowoon Lee, Young Joo Park, Jung Pyo Lee, Na-Youn Park, Younglim Kho, Sungkyoon Kim, Kyunghee Ji, Kyungho Choi

“…Moreover, the OUVFs exposure caused increased proteinuria in the fish, along with transcriptional changes of wt1, nephrin, podocin, and cdh17 genes, which could explain the observed reduction in kidney functions. Principal component analysis (PCA) implied the potential interplay of THs with neurogenesis, or podocyte differentiation of the larval fish. …”

Efficacy of the Baseline Complex Treatment in Achieving the Target Blood Pressure Values, Dynamics of Brachial Artery Remodeling and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Acute... by Denesyuk О.

“…After treatment in 6, 12 and 24 months, a tendency towards the improvement in the brachial artery remodeling and endothelial dysfunction was determined. An individual analysis of the extent of disturbances in the brachial artery remodeling indices, despite the small number of individuals examined, showed a tendency to decrease the number of patients with II (moderate) thickness of the intima­media complex and III (significant) degree of endothelium­dependent vasodilatation as a result of a transition to a less pronounced degree, which testifies to the positive dynamics of the brachial artery remodeling, endothelial function and the efficacy of the treatment.…”
