A critical meta-analysis of the past decade's investigations was carried out with the aim of assessing the use of plant-based techniques for soil remediation. Potentially toxic element (PTE) contaminated soils were selected since these contaminants are considered hazardous and have long-term effects. Furthermore, energy, aromatic, and medicinal plants were studied as their high-value products seem to be affected by PTEs' existence.

Article Synopsis
  • Surgery is the main treatment for patients with low-grade gliomas who have epilepsy, but it's hard to do both well.
  • A new imaging technique called MET PET helps doctors see how the tumor acts and plan surgeries better, but it doesn't fully explain how it affects seizures.
  • This study looked at 52 patients with brain tumors to see if MET PET could help understand their seizures before surgery and how well those seizures are controlled afterward.

Systems poised at a dynamical critical regime, between order and disorder, have been shown capable of exhibiting complex dynamics that balance robustness to external perturbations and rich repertoires of responses to inputs. This property has been exploited in artificial network classifiers, and preliminary results have also been attained in the context of robots controlled by Boolean networks. In this work, we investigate the role of dynamical criticality in robots undergoing online adaptation, i.
