The Role of Dopamine in Impulsivity and Substance Abuse: A Narrative Review by Connor J Plaisance, Lloyd F Ledet III, Nicholas J Slusher, Charles P Daniel, Zachary Lee, Bradley Dorius, Sonnah Barrie, Tomasina Q Parker-Actlis, Shahab Ahmadzadeh, Sahar Shekoohi, Alan D Kaye

“…Dopamine has been implicated as a prominent neurotransmitter implicated in the development and pattern of addiction and impulsivity, especially in regard to substance use disorder. Discovery as a key player in the development of addiction dates to the 1950s, with a study performed by Olds and Milner on rats placed in a Skinner box. …”

A LiDAR - camera fusion detection method based on weight allocation by Kang Haotian, Wang Tianshu

“…The weighted fusion method is adopted, image feature points are extracted by Fast RCNN, and then LiDAR point cloud data is fused into the model by the weighted method, environment variables are introduced, and different weight allocation methods are output under different environments through full connection layer preprocessing. The results on the Nuscenes dataset show that compared with the results without weight assignment, the model can effectively achieve targeted weight assignment in different situations, and the performance is due to the single-sensor method.…”

Analysis of stress distribution of CFRP bonded joints: A study of numerical and machine learning approach by Shah Mohammad Azam Rishad, Md Ashraful Islam, Md Shahidul Islam

“…The structure consists of a changing upper adhesive and CFRP lower adhesive, all bonded by a nano-thickness resin adhesive layer. The research, which analyzes almost 100 upper adherend substrates, hopes to answer how they influence stress distribution at the apex of a joint, a critical factor in bond strength. …”

Diagnostics of chronic small intestinal obstruction in patient with ectopic pancreas in the Meckel's diverticulum (case report) by Zinaida A. Lemeshko, O. S. Shifrin, A. V. Korolev, T. L. Lemina, I. A. Sokolina, A. Ye. Leonovich, K. A. Lesko, A. S. Tertychny, V. T. Ivashkin

“…A specific type of intussusception was detected by transabdominal ultrasound: thickening and «lamination of intestinal wall» due to «diverticulum interposition» into the lumen of ileum and «overlaying» of wall layers. The evacuation delay at the small intestine was followed by dilation of overlying loops of the small intestine containing bulky liquid content; pendular movement of liquid observed at ultrasonography with visible «air-fluid levels» at plain radiograph. …”

The effect of depth data and upper limb impairment on lightweight monocular RGB human pose estimation models by Gloria-Edith Boudreault-Morales, Cesar Marquez-Chin, Xilin Liu, José Zariffa

“…The models were modified to include depth data as an input using three different fusion techniques: an early fusion method, a simple intermediate fusion method (using concatenation), and a complex intermediate fusion method (using specific fusion blocks, additional convolutional layers, and concatenation). All fusion techniques used RGB-D data, in contrast to the original models which only used RGB data. …”
