The evolution of signalling and monitoring in plant-fungal networks by Scott, T, Kiers, ET, West, SA

“…Experiments have shown that when one plant is attacked by a pathogen or herbivore, this can lead to other plants connected to the same mycorrhizal network up-regulating their defense mechanisms. It has been hypothesized that this represents signaling, with attacked plants producing a signal to warn other plants of impending harm. …”

Highlights from Faraday Discussion 172: Carbon in electrochemistry, Sheffield, UK, July 2014 by Dyatkin, B, Ash, PA, Sharma, S

Introduction: Special issue on the ethics of anthropology in emergencies by Stellmach, D, Beshar, I

“…It is hard to think of a recent moment when anthropology as a profession has had a higher profile. Anthropologists have been active in the Ebola response, both as policy commentators (Sridhar and Clinton 2014; Abramowitz 2014) and frontline responders (Bedford 2015). …”

Unweighted layered graph traversal: passing a crown via entropy maximization by Bai, X, Coester, C, Cosson, R

“…Introduced by Papadimitriou and Yannakakis in 1989, layered graph traversal is a central problem in online algorithms and mobile computing that has been studied for several decades, and which now is essentially resolved in its original formulation. …”

Discriminative learned dictionaries for local image analysis by Mairal, J, Bach, F, Ponce, J, Sapiro, G, Zisserman, A

“…Sparse signal models have been the focus of much recent research, leading to (or improving upon) state-of-the-art results in signal, image, and video restoration. …”

What does America's energy revolution mean for China? by Luft, G

“…In natural gas, US performance has been no less impressive. Natural gas production rose 50 per cent between 2005 and 2013, and the USA is about to assume an important role in the global market for liquefied natural gas (LNG).…”

Protocol and statistical analysis plan for the TREATT trial by Estcourt, L, Stanworth, S, Dyer, C, Powter, G, Collett, D, Hudson, C, Deary, A, Llewelyn, C, Wood, E, Bakrania, L, Murphy, M

“…The protocol should not be used as an aide-memoire or guide for the treatment of other patients. Every care has been taken in drafting this protocol, but corrections or amendments may be necessary. …”

Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Over the past decades, the advancements in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have demonstrated that deep neural network (DNN) policies can be trained to prescribe near-optimal actions in many complex tasks. Unfortunately, DNN policies are shown to be vulnerable to adversarial perturbations in the input states, which creates obstacles for the real-world deployments of RL agents, especially on those security-sensitive tasks. …”
