Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) used for magnetic hyperthermia can not only damage tumor cells after elevating to a specific temperature but also provide the temperature required for thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) to release doxorubicin (DOX). MNPs injected into tumor will generate heat under an alternating magnetic field, so the MNPs distribution can determine temperature distribution and further affect the DOX concentration used for tumor therapy. This study proposes an asynchronous injection strategy for this combination therapy in order to improve the DOX concentration value for drug therapy, in which the MNPs are injected into tumor after a certain lagging of TSL injection in order to increase the TSL concentration inside tumor.

In MARL (Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning), the trial-and-error learning paradigm based on multiple agents requires massive interactions to produce training samples, significantly increasing both the training cost and difficulty. Therefore, enhancing data efficiency is a core issue in MARL. However, in the context of MARL, agent partially observed information leads to a lack of consideration for agent interactions and coordination from an ego perspective under the world model, which becomes the main obstacle to improving the data efficiency of current proposed MARL methods.

Mitigating traffic injury rate plays an essential role in sustainable urban development and is closely related to public health and human well-being. The inequity of traffic injury rate undermines equitable access to transportation infrastructure and poses a significant threat to the safety of residents during their commutes. Although previous studies have examined the association between socio-demographic characteristics and regional traffic crash risk, they seldom consider the spatial heterogeneity of the traffic injury rate inequity especially for the vulnerable groups.
