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 کاملAnthropogenic pollutants – an insidious threat to animal health and productivity?
Humans have always polluted their environment and, to an extent, the associated adverse consequences have increased in parallel with the global population. However, in recent decades, entirely novel compounds have been created, for multiple purposes, and some of these have become ubiquitous, damaging pollutants, which interfere with fundamental physiological processes in all animal species, dis...
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 کاملInsufficient Effort Survey Responding: An Under- Appreciated Problem in Work and Organisational Health Psychology Research
Insufficient effort responding (IER) is problematic in that it can add a systematic source of variance for variables with average responses that depart from the scale midpoints. We present a rationale for why IER is of particular importance to Work and Organisational Health Psychology (WOHP) researchers. We also demonstrate its biasing effects using several variables of interest to WOHP researc...
