Moor: Model-based offline policy optimization with a risk dynamics model by Xiaolong Su, Peng Li, Shaofei Chen

“…Specifically, we construct a risk dynamics model using a quantile network that can learn the risk information of data, then we reshape model-generated data based on errors of the risk dynamics model and the risk information of data. Finally, we use a risk-averse algorithm to learn the policy on the combined dataset of offline and generated data. …”

Research on the Negative Externalities Evaluation for the Development of Weathered Crust Elution-Deposited Rare Earth Ores by Xu Ligang, Xu Meijuan

“…In this system, the market value method, shadow engineering method, and labor cost method are mainly used to measure and calculate the industrial “three-waste” pollution control expenses, ecological environment repair cost, and negative external derivative management cost of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore development. Finally, based on the evaluation system, the data of the Longshe rare earth mining area in Jiading Town, Xinfeng County, was evaluated by the empirical study and it is obtained that the negative externality cost of the Longshe rare earth mining area in Xinfeng County is 102,900 RMB/t. …”

Neurotensin is a Versatile Modulator of In Vitro Human Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cell (PDAC) Migration by Tatjana Mijatovic, Philippe Gailly, Véronique Mathieu, Nancy De Nève, Paul Yeaton, Robert Kiss, Christine Decaestecker

“…While the NT effects on individually migrating PDACs were mediated at least through the EGFR/ERK signaling pathways, those on collectively migrating PDACs appeared highly dependent on the PI 3-kinase pathway. Conclusion: This study strongly suggests the involvement of neurotensin in the modulation of human PDAC migration.…”

Characteristics of Precipitation, Streamflow, and Sediment Transport of the Hangman Creek in the Pacific Northwest, USA: Implication for Agricultural Conservation Practice Implemen... by Yongping Yuan, Sean Kanyuk

“…These changes may be attributed to the adoption of agricultural conservation practices because land cover remained almost unchanged from 2001 to 2021 and ACP adoption increased. Finally, the flow frequency analysis showed a strong linkage between higher streamflow events and increased suspended sediment load, with between 81% and 96% of total annual suspended sediment loads transported during the highest 10% of flows.…”
