How to Make Reactive Planners Risk-Sensitive*
Probabilistic planners can have various planning objectives: usually they either maximize the probability of goal achievement or minimize the expected execution cost of the plan. Researchers have largely ignored the problem how to incorporate risk-sensitive attitudes into their planning mechanisms. We discuss a risk-sensitive planning approach that is based on utility theory. Our key result is ...
متن کاملInsulin depot formation in subcutaneoue tissue.
BACKGROUND The size and geometry of an insulin depot that is formed during subcutaneous administration by an insulin pump is evaluated. A novel method is used to visualize accurately the depot formation for small volumes of insulin (of the order of 10-100 µl) at a given point in time. Conventional visualization methods such as magnetic resonance imaging are unable to provide such accurate measu...
متن کاملConstruction of a photoactivated insulin depot.
Insulin is a primary tool for the treatment of type I diabetes. However, multiple challenges accompany its administration. Because of low oral bioavailability, it is typically injected multiple times per day, a significant lifetime burden on patients. Moreover, because of fluctuating blood sugar levels, the required amounts of insulin continuously vary over the course of a day. A current soluti...
متن کاملLight Control of Insulin Release and Blood Glucose Using an Injectable Photoactivated Depot
In this work we demonstrate that blood glucose can be controlled remotely through light stimulated release of insulin from an injected cutaneous depot. Human insulin was tethered to an insoluble but injectable polymer via a linker, which was based on the light cleavable di-methoxy nitrophenyl ethyl (DMNPE) group. This material was injected into the skin of streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats. ...
متن کاملMany ABCs make light work with cholesterol
recognition. The key role of cholesterol metabolism in cardiovascular diseases has been accepted long ago; emerging evidence now supports the central role of cholesterol metabolism in neurodegenerative, metabolic, skin and infectious diseases. Cellular cholesterol content has to be maintained within tight limits, or else; not surprisingly, therefore, a number of regulatory mechanisms provide mu...
