Multi-timescale modeling of activity-dependent metabolic coupling in the neuron-glia-vasculature ensemble. by Renaud Jolivet, Jay S Coggan, Igor Allaman, Pierre J Magistretti

“…Fourth, the model correctly predicted the temporal dynamics of tissue lactate, of tissue glucose and oxygen consumption, and of the BOLD signal as reported in human studies. These findings not only support the ANLS hypothesis but also provide a quantitative mathematical description of the metabolic activation in neurons and glial cells, as well as of the macroscopic measurements obtained during brain imaging.…”

Safety Early Warning Research for Highway Construction Based on Case-Based Reasoning and Variable Fuzzy Sets by Yan Liu, Ting-Hua Yi, Zhen-Jun Xu

“…By combining the current state of early warning technology with the requirements of the State Administration of Work Safety and using case-based reasoning (CBR), this paper expounds on the concept and flow of highway construction safety early warnings based on CBR. The present study provides solutions to three key issues, index selection, accident cause association analysis, and warning degree forecasting implementation, through the use of association rule mining, support vector machine classifiers, and variable fuzzy qualitative and quantitative change criterion modes, which fully cover the needs of safe early warning systems. …”

Adaptive Behavior of Farmers after Water Right Reform from the Perspective of Prospect Theory by WAN Fubing, SUN Boming, DAI Xiaoping

“…In an uncertain environment,the adaptive behavior of farmers after the reform of the water right system affects the reform effect of water rights.Most existing studies have regarded farmers as entirely rational actors,and there is still a lack of theoretical analysis and quantitative description of farmers' behavior based on the assumption of bounded rational behavior.Therefore,prospect theory is introduced to study the adaptive behavior of farmers under the conditions of total water right control and water right trading.Taking two irrigation districts in the Shiyang River Basin into account,this paper analyzes the planting structure adjustment,irrigation area selection,and water right trading behavior of farmers under the conditions of reducing the total irrigation water by 5%,15%,and 25%.It is found that in the condition of water right reduction,the optimal decision for growing wheat and maize is ‘adjustment and water purchase’,and the worst decision is ‘reducing irrigation area’.The effect of water right reduction on the prospect value of maize is greater than that of wheat.The prospect value of different decisions varies monotonically with the proportion of reduction in water use.The results show that the prospect theory model can better describe the adaptive behavior of farmers and can provide a reference for the simulation and regulation of agricultural water right reform.…”

Features of Modeling of the Magnetorefractive Effect in Multilayered Metal Nanostructures by A. A. Mokrushina, A. N. Yurasov

“…The last model in earlier works allowed describing a number of experimental data well qualitatively and in some places quantitatively. In this paper, taking into account the frequency dependence of the resistance allowed us to improve the first model, which allowed us to obtain a good qualitative and quantitative description of the effect value – this is a fundamentally new result. …”
