Our ability to estimate risk of failure can enable timely and tailored deployment of gamification approaches.

In addition to the functionalities available through TCPL, GladiaTOX includes a webservice layer which allows for simple integration with external, third-party systems. It implements a suite of advanced tools for quality control, processing, and reporting, including the exportation of results formatted for the widely used ToxPI graphical user interface.7
"GladiaTOX delivers unprecedented power, efficiency, and reliability in the analysis of in vitro generated HCS data," said Julia Hoeng, Ph.D., Director of Systems Toxicology, PMI. | The major advantage of the ToxPi framework stems from its flexibility as diverse types of data can be incorporated (e.g. personalized exposure measurements), and results can be updated as more information becomes available or if the underlying assumptions on data integration strategies are modified.

| The design of our bacterial computer benefited from a series of abstractions of DNA sequence into the edges and nodes of a Hamiltonian path. DNA edges flanked by hixC sites can be reshuffled by Hin recombinase, creating random orderings and orientations of edges of the graph. Hin-mediated recombination of the 14 DNA edges could produce 1.42 × 10 15 possible configurations. | [2.0, 3.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0] | Computer_Science | train | 1.8 | tweets | 599200235001286656 |
10.1038/s41598-018-30656-7 | Computer_Science_tweet_153 | This study showed how individual ants and their colonies choose a nest using two models developed for information processing in vertebrates. Interestingly, (unlike humans) colonies make faster decisions when two options are available than only one. | The fact that the less preferred option experiences more severe cross-censoring (only the extreme of its left tail sees action) leads to one additional prediction in the SCM: the predicted shortening of latency for binary respect to single-option choices is more pronounced for the worse (less preferred) option than for the better (preferred) option. | This study showed how individual ants and their colonies choose a nest using two models developed for information processing in vertebrates. Interestingly, (unlike humans) colonies make faster decisions when two options are available than only one. | This interaction cross-censors the right tails of both latency distributions, and thus when an option is encountered and chosen in the presence of an alternative, observed mean latencies are shorter than those for the option when presented alone 28 . The fact that the less preferred option experiences more severe cross-censoring (only the extreme of its left tail sees action) leads to one additional prediction in the SCM: the predicted shortening of latency for binary respect to single-option choices is more pronounced for the worse (less preferred) option than for the better (preferred) option. As noted above, the ToW model predicts a shift in the opposite direction (i.e. | [2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.0] | Computer_Science | train | 1.75 | tweets | 1034115759549685761 |
