TL;DR: Depressive illness may be considered a disorder of neuroplasticity as well as one of neurochemical imbalances, and cytokines may act as mediators of both aspects of this illness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a joint optimization framework for all the nodes, DSOs, and DSSs to achieve the optimal resource allocation schemes in a distributed fashion, where a Stackelberg game was formulated to analyze the pricing problem for the DSO and the resource allocation problem for DSS.
Abstract: Fog computing is a promising architecture to provide economical and low latency data services for future Internet of Things (IoT)-based network systems. Fog computing relies on a set of low-power fog nodes (FNs) that are located close to the end users to offload the services originally targeting at cloud data centers. In this paper, we consider a specific fog computing network consisting of a set of data service operators (DSOs) each of which controls a set of FNs to provide the required data service to a set of data service subscribers (DSSs). How to allocate the limited computing resources of FNs to all the DSSs to achieve an optimal and stable performance is an important problem. Therefore, we propose a joint optimization framework for all FNs, DSOs, and DSSs to achieve the optimal resource allocation schemes in a distributed fashion. In the framework, we first formulate a Stackelberg game to analyze the pricing problem for the DSOs as well as the resource allocation problem for the DSSs. Under the scenarios that the DSOs can know the expected amount of resource purchased by the DSSs, a many-to-many matching game is applied to investigate the pairing problem between DSOs and FNs. Finally, within the same DSO, we apply another layer of many-to-many matching between each of the paired FNs and serving DSSs to solve the FN-DSS pairing problem. Simulation results show that our proposed framework can significantly improve the performance of the IoT-based network systems.

TL;DR: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) used an array of He3 proportional counters to measure the rate of neutral-current interactions in heavy water and precisely determined the total active (x) B8 solar neutrino flux as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) used an array of He3 proportional counters to measure the rate of neutral-current interactions in heavy water and precisely determined the total active (x) B8 solar neutrino flux. This technique is independent of previous methods employed by SNO. The total flux is found to be 5.54-0.31+0.33(stat)-0.34+0.36(syst)106cm-2s-1, in agreement with previous measurements and standard solar models. A global analysis of solar and reactor neutrino results yields m2=7.59-0.21+0.1910-5eV2 and =34.4-1.2+1.3 degrees. The uncertainty on the mixing angle has been reduced from SNO's previous results.

27 Apr 2011TL;DR: The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) as discussed by the authors is an actuarial instrument designed to assist the professional in evaluating risk for violent and nonviolent antisocial behavior in youth.
Abstract: The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) is an actuarial instrument designed to assist the professional in evaluating risk for violent and nonviolent antisocial behavior in youth. It also assists in identifying factors placing the youth at risk and therefore may function as a case planning and management tool. The instrument is widely used in juvenile justice, adolescent mental health, and school settings. The measure is appropriate for use by a wide range of professionals, including psychologists, social workers, probation officers, and child care workers. Analyses of reliability, construct validity, and predictive validity have been based on a wide range of samples including males and females and a variety of ethnic, cultural, and national groups.

TL;DR: Responses of neurons in the auditory cortex of the albino rat were examined using microelectrode mapping techniques and suggest the presence of other auditory fields, the detailed characteristics of which have yet to be examined.
Abstract: 1. Responses of neurons in the auditory cortex of the albino rat were examined using microelectrode mapping techniques. Characteristic frequencies were determined for numerous electrode penetrations across the cortical surface in individual animals. A primary auditory area was identified in the posterolateral neocortex that was characterized by short latency responses to tone bursts and tonotopic organization with high frequencies represented rostrally and low frequencies, caudally. Within this area cells with similar characteristic frequencies were aligned in a dorsoventral orientation to form isofrequency contours. 2. Tuning curves obtained from primary auditory cortex were characteristically "V" shaped with Q10's ranging from 0.97 to 28.4. Maximum Q10 values increased monotonically with characteristic frequency (CF). The lowest thresholds at CF closely approximated the behavioral audiogram for the albino rat. Many neurons, however, had CF thresholds well above the behavioral limit. 3. Areas were found dorsal and ventral to the primary auditory cortex in which CF's were clearly discontinuous with the neighboring isofrequency contours. These data suggest the presence of other auditory fields, the detailed characteristics of which have yet to be examined.
