Self-control with spiking and non-spiking neural networks playing games
(2010)
Self-control can be defined as choosing a large delayed reward over a small immediate reward, while precommitment is the making of a choice with the specific aim of denying oneself future choices. Humans recognise that ...
Spiking neural networks with different reinforcement learning (RL) schemes in a multiagent setting
(2010)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of spiking agents when trained with reinforcement learning (RL) in a challenging multiagent task. In particular, it explores learning through rewardmodulated spike-timing dependent ...
Genetic variation of DKK3 may modify renal disease severity in ADPKD
(2010)
Significant variation in the course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) within families suggests the presence of effect modifiers. Recent studies of the variation within families harboring PKD1 mutations ...
Hepatitis C infection among intravenous drug users attending therapy programs in Cyprus
(2010)
The most high-risk population for HCV transmission worldwide today are intravenous drug users. HCV genotypes in the general population in Cyprus demonstrate a polyphyletic infection and include subtypes associated with ...
Juxtaluminal hypoechoic area in ultrasonic images of carotid plaques and hemispheric symptoms
(2010)
Objectives: The aim was to determine the diagnostic value of a juxtaluminal black (hypoechoic) area without a visible echogenic cap (JBA) in ultrasonic images of internal carotid artery plaques. Methods: Ultrasonic images ...
Cellular HIV-1 DNA levels in drug sensitive strains are equivalent to those in drug resistant strains in newly-diagnosed patients in Europe
(2010)
Background HIV-1 genotypic drug resistance is an important threat to the success of antiretroviral therapy and transmitted resistance has reached 9% prevalence in Europe. Studies have demonstrated that HIV-1 DNA load in ...
Application of ion mobility spectrometry for the detection of human urine
(2010)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the suitability of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) for the detection of human urine as an indication of human presence during urban search and rescue operations in collapsed ...
A review of noninvasive ultrasound image processing methods in the analysis of carotid plaque morphology for the assessment of stroke risk
(2010)
Noninvasive ultrasound imaging of carotid plaques allows for the development of plaque-image analysis methods associated with the risk of stroke. This paper presents several plaque-image analysis methods that have been ...
Structural motifs and biological studies of new antimony(iii) iodide complexes with thiones
(2010)
Eight new antimony(III) iodide complexes of the heterocyclic thioamides, 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI), 2-mercaptobenzlmidazole (MBZIM), 5-ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimldazole (EtMBZIM), 2-mercaptothiazolidine (MTZD), ...
Multiscale entropy-based approach to automated surface EMG classification of neuromuscular disorders
(2010)
We introduce a novel method for an automatic classification of subjects to those with or without neuromuscular disorders. This method is based on multiscale entropy of recorded surface electromyograms (sEMGs) and support ...
