Randomized Latent Vectors for Enhanced Reinforcement Learning Exploration
Abstract: This paper investigates Random Latent Exploration (RLE), a novel reinforcement learning technique that enhances exploration using randomized latent vector conditioning. I evaluate RLE’s performance across various environments, including discrete control tasks (FourRoom), continuous control (IsaacLab), and complex visual domains (Atari games). The core approach augments traditional reward functions with intrinsic rewards, calculated as the dot product between state features and periodically resampled latent vectors. The policy and value networks are …

Modelling of Skin Effect in On-Chip VLSI RLC Global Interconnect
Abstract: This paper addresses one of the aspects of the high frequency effects, namely the skin effect. The basicproblem with skin effect is that it attenuates the high frequency components of a signal more than that ofthe low frequency components. Due to the increase in operating frequency and die sizes, RC models arebecoming insufficient for analysis of global VLSI interconnects. Accurate noise modelling for RLC lines isthus critical for timing and …

Sensitivity of Shape Factor Impacts in Water Works Infrastructure Failure
Abstract: Simple geometry used in water software and hydride sign works was failed here. Comprehensive real data with complex irregular geometries were incorporated provided for wider application and feasible solutions. A realistic and more practical approach was tested, found reliable and compatible with water engineering principles considered for calculation of volumetric water rates by three types of Ogee shapes. Results indicated proximity between numerical and experimental data accurately predicted based on …

Application of Priestia Megaterium in the Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Environments
Abstract: Petroleum pollutants pose a serious and persistent threat to environmental ecosystems, particularly affecting soil and water quality. Effective and sustainable remediation strategies are crucial to mitigate their impact and safeguard environmental health. In this context, bioremediation—using microorganisms to degrade harmful contaminant —emerges as a promising and eco-friendly approach. The present study explores the biodegradation capabilities of the bacterium Priestia megaterium, a species previously recognized for its ability to break down …

Refractive symmetry analysis of fellow eyes
Abstract: The biological structure of human body frequently exhibit symmetry. The hypothesis of refractive symmetry assumes that the two eyes of an individual should have homogeneous refractive properties. Optometry clinical management mostly rely upon meridional magnification effect, spatial distortion, and binocular spatial perception while prescribing refractive correction. Additionally, bilateral symmetry analysis approach has proven very informative for better diagnosis. This study was multi-centered, cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective, where we studied refractive …

Comparative Evaluation of Fiber-Reinforced Composite and Elastic Fiber Posts in Reinforcing Peri-Cervical Dentin: an In-Vitro Study
Abstract: This study evaluates the fracture resistance of short-fiber reinforced composite and elastic fiber posts compared to conventional hybrid composites in reinforcing peri-cervical dentin of endodontically treated teeth. Methods: The crowns of thirty single-canal mandibular premolars were resected to achieve a dimension of 4mm from 1mm below the highest point of the proximal cervical line. In Group 1, teeth underwent endodontic treatment with gutta-percha filled up to the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) …

Investigating The Alkalizing Potential of Chandanasava For Restoring Acid-Base Homeostasis in Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Computational and In Silico Pharmacological Study
Abstract: Chandanasava, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, is recognized for its potential alkalizing properties, which may help restore acid-base homeostasis in conditions such as renal tubular acidosis (RTA). This study aims to investigate the active components of Chandanasava and their interactions with key renal target proteins, Pendrin and Carbonic Anhydrase II, which are essential for maintaining acid-base balance. An in silico approach was utilized to explore the pharmacological potential of the phytochemicals …

CORRELATION OF FLAT FOOT AND CORE STABILITY IN YOUNG ADULTS -A CASE CONTROL STUDY
Abstract: Background: Core stability may provide several benefits to the musculoskeletal system, from maintaining low back health to preventing knee ligament injury. Flatfoot is a condition of decrease in the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity affecting adults. Bilateral flat foot cause more proximal lower limb dysfunctions, which lead to altered core stability. Methodology: In this case control study, 60college going students were taken as …

AI-Driven Inverse Design of Functionally Graded Bio-Nanocomposites for Sustainable High-Barrier Packaging
Abstract: Multilayer plastic packaging realizes high barrier performance through laminated heterogeneous structures, but the heterogeneous structure has severe end-of-life challenges caused by the interfacial incompatibility of materials and the poor recyclability. This study proposes the inverse design of functionally graded PLA-nanoclay composite films by reinforcement learning as a monolithic alternative to traditional multilayer systems. Twin-screw extrusion is designed as a continuous control Markov decision process, and proximal policy optimization (PPO) is …

Abstract: This paper presents an intrinsic evaluation of some graph embedding techniques on clustering and community detection tasks. We analyze a diverse set of embedding methods, ranging from traditional techniques such as Laplacian eigenmaps to more recent approaches like graph autoencoders, high-order proximity preserved embedding (HOPE), and graph attention network (GAT), using two widely studied datasets, Cora and CiteSeer. Our evaluation relies on two main metrics: Silhouette score with respect to …
