Experimental evaluation of multi-agent reinforcement learning in real-world scale-free networks by Al Hashimi, Rashid

“…Tokens also initiate a factor of randomness in the environment given its probability distribution over agents. Preliminary experimental results showed a signi cant reaction to the increase of tokens when agents play battle of the sexes in Neural network; the increase in token transfer probability yields a higher reward and a faster conversion.…”

Minimization of the amplitude of the entire span of beams using mass dampers by Issa, Jimmy S.

“…The considered system consists of a mass damper attached to a simply supported beam with a harmonic force applied at a given point along its span. Traditionally, passive vibration devices such as mass spring dampers or mass dampers were attached to beams and carefully designed to minimize the maximum amplitude at a given point along their span. …”

Optimal IP network dimensioning for stream-type traffic using probabilistic delay constraints by Sharafeddine, Sanaa

“…We introduce a new extension to traditional CA problems by setting a statistical bound on the maximum end-to-end delay experienced by all packets associated with the given latency-sensitive service. For a sample IP network scenario with VoIP traffic, we show that a relatively slight increase in capacity as compared with the classical approach is required to keep the probability of exceeding the maximum end-to-end network delay threshold below 0.1%.…”

Short-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with or without lateral tenodesis or anterolateral ligament reconstruction: a retrospective cohort by Ashraf T. Hantouly (14150319)

“…However, there was a significant decrease in postoperative flexion in the ACL and ALL reconstruction group by a mean of 22° (95% CI − 40.7 − 3.4; P = 0.02) at 6 weeks compared to ACLR alone, which was not evident on later follow-ups.…”

Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Flight time shortened (P = 0.026), peak braking (P = 0.016) and push-off (P = 0.032) forces decreased and vertical stiffness increased (P = 0.014) from before to after the repeated-sprint exercise, independent of footwear condition. …”
