Continuous exposure to schistosome-infested water results in acute and chronic morbidity in all ages. We analysed occurence of organomegaly via ultrasonography and investigated a possible additive effect of dual-dose drug...
Intelligent Anti-Jamming Decision Algorithm of Bivariate Frequency Hopping Pattern Based on DQN With PER and Pareto
To improve the anti-jamming performance of frequency hopping system in complex electromagnetic environment, a Deep Q-Network algorithm with priority experience replay (PER) based on Pareto samples (PPER-DQN) is proposed, which...

Testing Learning Mechanisms of Rule-Based Judgment
Weighing the importance of different pieces of information is a key determinant of making accurate judgments. In social judgment theory, these weighting processes have been successfully described with linear models. How...
Pillars of Judgment
Making accurate judgments is an essential skill in everyday life. Although how different memory abilities relate to categorization and judgment processes has been hotly debated, the question is far from resolved. We contribute...
Overexpression of the WAPO-A1 gene increases the number of spikelets per spike in bread wheat.
