The evasive TEA TREE CASTILE OIL maneuver strategy for a fighter against a medium-range air-to-air missile is crucial to improving aircraft survivability.In this paper, the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm to train the agent to learn the evasive maneuver strategy is studied.The missile-aircraft engagement model parameters are the input
Monoclonal antibody targeting of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1c ameliorates obesity and glucose intolerance via central mechanisms.
We have generated a novel monoclonal antibody targeting human FGFR1c (R1c mAb) that caused profound body weight and body fat loss in diet-induced obese mice due to decreased food intake (with energy expenditure unaltered), in turn improving glucose control.R1c mAb Junior Fender also caused weight loss in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice, leptin receptor
How to Restore Invertebrate Diversity of Degraded Heathlands? A Case Study on the Reproductive Performance of the Field Cricket Gryllus campestris (L.)
BackgroundNitrogen (NOx, NHy) and acidifying (NOx, NHy, SOx) deposition has reduced the biodiversity of European dry heathlands.Restoration efforts such as sod-cutting (removal of vegetation, litter and humus layer) often shifted these systems from N to P limitation and have had limited success in restoring the invertebrate community.Possible reaso
Silencing of the Rice Gene LRR1 Compromises Rice Xa21 Transcript Accumulation and XA21-Mediated Immunity
Abstract Background The rice immune receptor XA21 confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae (Xoo), the causal agent of bacterial leaf Moisturizer blight.We previously demonstrated that an auxilin-like protein, XA21 BINDING PROTEIN 21 (XB21), positively regulates resistance to Xoo.Results To further investigate the function of XB21, we perf
