“…To investigate such collaborative decision-making process, we conducted a Human–AI interaction study on response-adaptive radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. We investigated two levels of collaborative behavior: model-agnostic and model-specific; and found that Human–AI interaction is multifactorial and depends on the complex interrelationship between prior knowledge and preferences, patient’s state, disease site, treatment modality, model transparency, and AI’s learned behavior and biases. …”

Seasonality of Freeze Tolerance in a Subarctic Population of the Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica by Jon P. Costanzo, M. Clara F. do Amaral, Andrew J. Rosendale, Richard E. Lee

“…Spring frogs formed much more ice and incurred extensive cryohemolysis and lactate accrual, indicating that they had suffered marked cell damage and hypoxic stress during freezing. Multiple, interactive stresses, in addition to diminished cryoprotectant levels, contribute to the reduced capacity for freeze tolerance in posthibernal frogs.…”
