Impacts of Long COVID on workers: A longitudinal study of employment exit, work hours and mental health in the UK

Plos.org 

by Darja Reuschke, Donald Houston, Paul Sissons

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has had enormous implications for the world of work. However, there has been relatively little focus on the employment and workforce challenges of the virus in relation to workforce health, beyond the immediate management of the spread of the disease. There is an important gap in understanding the ongoing workforce issues created by the significant incidence of Long COVID in the population.

Optimization of “vehicle-UAV” joint distribution routing for cold chain logistics considering risk of epidemic spreading and green cost

Plos.org 

by Gang Liu, Qian Liu, Hao Guo, Ming Xiang, Jinyan Sang

To address the epidemic, such as COVID-19, the government may implement the home quarantine policy for the infected residents. The logistics company is required to control the risk of epidemic spreading while delivering goods to residents. In this case, the logistics company often uses vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for delivery. This paper studies the distribution issue of cold chain logistics by integrating UAV logistics with epidemic risk management innovatively. Читать дальше...

A new hybrid machine learning model for predicting the renewal life of patents

Plos.org 

by Ashit Kumar, Pritam Ranjan, Arnab Koley, Shadab Danish

In almost every country, patents need to be renewed multiple times after they are granted. A patentee assesses the value of the patent and then pays a renewal fee to keep it active for another stipulated period. The factors that characterize the value of a patent is subjective. This paper aims to address the research gap of building an accurate model for predicting the renewal life (often considered as a substitute for the patent value) of Indian patents...

Possible mechanisms to improve sleep spindles via closed loop stimulation during slow wave sleep: A computational study

Plos.org 

by Muhammad Mushtaq, Lisa Marshall, Rizwan ul Haq, Thomas Martinetz

Sleep spindles are one of the prominent EEG oscillatory rhythms of non-rapid eye movement sleep. In the memory consolidation, these oscillations have an important role in the processes of long-term potentiation and synaptic plasticity. Moreover, the activity (spindle density and/or sigma power) of spindles has a linear association with learning performance in different paradigms. According to the experimental observations...

Subpopulations of neurons in the perirhinal cortex enable both modality-specific and modality-invariant recognition of objects

Plos.org 

by Heung-Yeol Lim, Inah Lee

The perirhinal cortex (PER) supports multimodal object recognition, but how multimodal information of objects is integrated within the PER remains unknown. Here, we recorded single units within the PER while rats performed a PER-dependent multimodal object-recognition task. In this task, audiovisual cues were presented simultaneously (multimodally) or separately (unimodally). We identified 2 types of object-selective neurons in the PER: crossmodal cells, showing...
