Introduction: For some cancer survivors chemotherapy treatment is associated with lasting motor and cognitive impairments, long after treatment cessation. Cisplatin as an anti-neoplastic agent is extremely toxic and can cause severe tissue damage. In the present study, we elucidated alteration in performance of hippocampus- and cerebellum-related behaviors following acute cisplatin treatmen...

In recent years, researches on reinforcement learning (RL) have focused on bridging the gap between adaptive optimal control and bio-inspired learning techniques. Neural network reinforcement learning (NNRL) is among the most popular algorithms in the RL framework. The advantage of using neural networks enables the RL to search for optimal policies more efficiently in several real-life applicat...

Recently, fog computing has been introducedto solve the challenges of cloud computing regarding Internet objects. One of the challenges in the field of fog computing is the scheduling of tasks requested by Internet objects. In this study, a review of articles related to task scheduling in fog computing has been done. At first, the research questions and goals will be introduced, an...

Workflows, widely used on the Internet today, typically consist of a graph-like structure that defines the orchestration rules for executing a set of tasks, each of which is matched at run-rime to a corresponding service. The graph is static, specialized directories enable the discovery of services, and the wired infrastructure supports routing of results among tasks. In this paper we introduce...

BACKGROUND The virtual screening (VS) of lead compounds using molecular docking and pharmacophore detection is now an important tool in drug discovery. VS tasks typically require a combination of several software tools and a molecular graphics system. Thus, the integration of all the requisite tools in a single operating environment could reduce the complexity of running VS experiments. However...

Morpho is a multi-paradigm programming language developed at the University of Iceland that supports parallel programming using both fibers (coroutines) and concurrently executing tasks (threads). Communication between both tasks and fibers is through channels. Morpho is open source and an alpha version is available1.
