peer reviewed / Bayesian inference allows expressing the uncertainty of posterior belief under a probabilistic model given prior information and the likelihood of the evidence. Predominantly, the likelihood function is only implicitly established by a simulator posing the need for simulation-based inference (SBI). However, the existing algorithms c...
peer reviewed / We introduce IMP-MARL, an open-source suite of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) environments for large-scale Infrastructure Management Planning (IMP), offering a platform for benchmarking the scalability of cooperative MARL methods in real-world engineering applications. In IMP, a multi-component engineering system is subje...
Background Evaluating academics is a challenge, and the use of indicators such as scientific impact (i.e. number published papers their citation rate) complex poorly validated. We propose new indicator for academic medical research: “Free lunches” index ( fl -index), computed from sum gifts industry. The -index provides direct straightforward measu...
Chromatin is now regarded as a heterogeneous and dynamic structure occupying non-random position within the cell nucleus, where it plays key role in regulating various functions of genome. This current view chromatin has emerged thanks to high spatiotemporal resolution imaging, among other new technologies developed last decade. In addition challen...

peer reviewed / AbstractThe Relational to RDF Mapping Language (R2RML) became a W3C Recommendation a decade ago. Despite its wide adoption, its potential applicability beyond relational databases was swiftly explored. As a result, several extensions and new mapping languages were proposed to tackle the limitations that surfaced as R2RML was applied...

On 5–6 July 2017, an unstable atmospheric condition caused unusual concentration of rainfall above the Northern part Kyushu Island, triggering a set hydro-meteorological hazards. Within affected area, mountainous subwatershed Akatani River was significantly impacted by numerous landslides combined with debris flow and floods. National local agencie...
