A close look at cerebellar learning he cerebellum handles many motor coordination and reflexive behaviors, and learned adaptations of these behaviors are thought to require synaptic long-term depression (LTD). On page 295, Feil et al. identify a signaling pathway essential for LTD in cerebellar Purkinje cells but, surprisingly, this pathway is required only for a subset of motor reflex adaptati...

With the constant expansion of the scale and mismanagement in aquaculture,the diseases of flounder occur more and more frequently than before, which has brought great economic losses to fish farmers. For the sake of the problem described above, based on a great number of surveys, the early warning theory of flounder disease, the analysis of the outbreak and development of diseases and the relat...

In the acute hospital setting, the use of early warning scores (EWS) to monitor vital signs (including heart rate, respiratory rate [RR], blood pressure and temperature) has been shown to be beneficial in the early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment in adults with a critical illness 1 . This led to the development of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in Ireland by the Health Ser...

Earthquake early warning studies are shifting real-time seismology in earthquake science. They provide methods to rapidly assess earthquakes to predict damaging ground shaking. Preventing false alarms from these systems is key. Here we developed a simple, robust algorithm, Authorizing GRound shaking for Earthquake Early warning Systems (AGREEs), to reduce falsely issued alarms. This is a networ...

A series of bridge collapse take place in recent years, which cause people to pay more attention to bridge health monitoring and early warning. An intelligent health monitoring system for bridges is proposed after analyzing the functions and characteristics of the current bridge health monitoring system. The paper first introduce main functions of system and key technologies, then mainly introd...

Objectives Using violent crime data from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we investigate the performance of an “early warning system” (EWS) for starting/stopping police deployments to hot spots for crime prevention. We show that (1) even the hottest chronic hot spots are dynamic with months “on” and “off” and (2) temporary hot spots are also targets for prevention. We compare the performance of EWS to ...
