Human languages are rule governed, but almost invariably these rules have exceptions in the form of irregularities.Since rules in language are efficient and productive, the persistence of irregularity is an anomaly.How does irregularity linger in the face of internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) pressures to conform to a rule? Here we addr
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by the accumulation of excessive intrahepatic fat, is a leading metabolic disorder also considered as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MS).Though more commonly observed in obese individuals Sleep Aids and those with metabolic risk factors, it also develops in a considerable nu
Denial-of-service Basketball - Socks (DoS) attacks pose a significant threat to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and are an impediment to their mass deployment.Current research has identified trust models as a plausible defense against DoS attacks.However, most of the proposed solutions focus only on one or two specific DoS attack scenarios and prov
A major advance in understanding learning behavior stems from experiments showing that reward learning requires dopamine inputs to striatal neurons and arises from synaptic plasticity of cortico-striatal synapses.Numerous reinforcement learning models mimic this dopamine-dependent synaptic plasticity by using the reward prediction error, which rese
