LazyAct: Lazy actor with dynamic state skip based on constrained MDP. by Hongjie Zhang, Zhenyu Chen, Hourui Deng, Chaosheng Feng

“…Specifically, each decision made by an agent requires a complete neural network computation, leading to a linear increase in computational cost with the number of interactions and agents. Inspired by human decision-making patterns, which involve reasoning only on critical states in continuous decision-making tasks without considering all states, we introduce the LazyAct algorithm. …”

Quantification of Malondialdehyde in Atmospheric Aerosols: Application of the Thiobarbituric Acid Method by David H. Gonzalez, Suzanne E. Paulson

“…Abstract Based on available toxicity data, malondialdehyde (MDA; O=CHCH2CH=O) has been designated as a potential human carcinogen. A handful of studies suggest that MDA forms in the gas and aerosol phase in the troposphere, potentially contributing to inhalation toxicity, yet it has never been quantified in ambient air. …”
