Since the invention and commercialization of poly(-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers, numerous breakthroughs in applications have been realized both in the military and aerospace industries, attributed to its superb properties. Particularly, PBO nanofibers (PNFs) not only retain the high performance of PBO fiber but also exhibit impressive nanofeatures and desirable processability, which have been extensively applied in extreme scenarios. However, no review has yet comprehensively summarized the preparation, applications, and prospective challenges of PNFs to the best of our knowledge.

As the COVID-19 outbreak has shown, not only hospitals, but all communities need nurses who can systematically respond to disasters. It is important for nurses to possess the necessary readiness to respond to disasters with confidence and autonomy.

There is a risk of re-traumatisation for survivors of trauma who engage with the Justice system, given their high propensity to encounter situations that trigger traumatic responses. While a growing body of research has explored the experience of trauma informed practice (TIP) from service user perspectives, little research has incorporated the views and experiences of practitioners working in the Justice system in terms of the implementation of TIP in their service setting. An exploratory, qualitative research design based on semi-structured, in-depth interviews.

MACRPO: Multi-agent cooperative recurrent policy optimization.

Front Robot AI

December 2024

Intelligent Robotics Group, Electrical Engineering and Automation Department, Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland.

This work considers the problem of learning cooperative policies in multi-agent settings with partially observable and non-stationary environments without a communication channel. We focus on improving information sharing between agents and propose a new multi-agent actor-critic method called (MACRPO). We propose two novel ways of integrating information across agents and time in MACRPO: First, we use a recurrent layer in the critic's network architecture and propose a new framework to use the proposed meta-trajectory to train the recurrent layer.

Meeting the needs of a growing population calls for a change from linear production systems that exacerbate the depletion of finite natural resources and the emission of environmental pollutants. These linear production systems have resulted in the human-driven perturbation of the Earth's natural biogeochemical cycles and the transgression of environmentally safe operating limits. One solution that can help alleviate the environmental issues associated both with resource stress and harmful emissions is resource recovery from waste.
