Tuberculosis - an under-appreciated disease.
Tuberculosis Worldwide Tuberculosis (TB, as usually abbreviated) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries, and a signifi cant public health problem worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are about 8.8 million new cases of TB and 1.6 million deaths from TB every year.1 Non-compliance with anti-TB drug treatment, or inappropriate treatment, or bot...
متن کاملSperm competition and mate harm unresponsive to male-limited selection in Drosophila: an evolving genetic architecture under domestication.
Earlier research by W.R. Rice showed that experimentally limiting gene expression to males in Drosophila melanogaster leads to the rapid evolution of higher fitness. Using a similar male-limited (ML) selection protocol, we confirmed that result and showed that eliminating intralocus sexual conflict results in a comprehensive remodeling of the sexually dimorphic phenotype. However, despite start...
متن کاملRSSI is Under Appreciated
There is a general belief in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) community that the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is a bad estimator of the link quality. This belief is due to the existence of many asymmetry links in older radios such as CC1000 and TR1000. Newer radios that are based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard such as CC2420 implement another parameter called link quality indicator (LQ...
متن کاملExploring Under-appreciated Rewards
This paper presents a novel form of policy gradient for model-free reinforcement learning (RL) with improved exploration properties. Current policy-based methods use entropy regularization to encourage undirected exploration of the reward landscape, which is ineffective in high dimensional spaces with sparse rewards. We propose a more directed exploration strategy that promotes exploration of u...
متن کاملPropionibacterium acnes: an under-appreciated cause of post-neurosurgical infection.
BACKGROUND Propionibacterium acnes is increasingly recognized as a cause of post-neurosurgical infection. This review of patients with P. acnes neurosurgical infection was carried out in order to determine clinical characteristics and outcomes in relation to duration of antimicrobial treatment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of consecutive patients with P. acnes isolated from ...
