REACHing for chemical safety.

REACHing for chemical safety.

Background: We consider the problem of identifying the dynamic interactions in biochemical networks from noisy experimental data. Typically, approaches for solving this problem make use of an estimation algorithm such as the well-known linear Least-Squares (LS) estimation technique. We demonstrate that when time-series measurements are corrupted by white noise and/or drift noise, more accurate ...

Safety in the EMU: Reaching Consensus.

Epilepsy Resources and Updates Long-term video-EEG monitoring in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), while generally a safe procedure (1, 2), can be associated with adverse events. The majority of EMUs have experienced falls, status epilepticus, and postictal psychosis during monitoring (3); although rare, fatalities and near-fatalities have also occurred in the EMU (2, 4). Even patients with p...

Safety first: Instrumentality for reaching safety determines attention allocation under threat.

Theories of attention to emotional information suggest that attentional processes prioritize threatening information. In this article, we suggest that attention will prioritize the events that are most instrumental to a goal in any given context, which in threatening situations is typically reaching safety. To test our hypotheses, we used an attentional cueing paradigm that contained cues signa...
