Extending anti-clotting treatment after distal deep vein thrombosis could reduce further clot risk

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Giving the anti-clotting drug rivaroxaban to patients for 12 weeks instead of the usual six after a blood clot in the lower leg reduces the risk of further clots developing up to two years after treatment, finds a trial published by The BMJ today.

What’s more, the additional six weeks of treatment did not result in increased bleeding risk, a common side effect of anti-clotting drugs.

Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant drug. It’s given to people at a high risk of getting to help their blood (thicken) more slowly.

Engineers solve a mystery on the path to smaller, lighter batteries

Posted by in category: futurism

18 nov 2022.


A new discovery could finally usher the development of solid-state lithium batteries, which would be more lightweight, compact, and safe than current lithium batteries. The growth of metallic filaments called dendrites within the solid electrolyte has been a longstanding obstacle, but the new study explains how dendrites form and how to divert them.

Building interactive agents in video game worlds

Posted by in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI

Human behaviour is remarkably complex. Even a simple request like, “Put the ball close to the box” still requires deep understanding of situated intent and language. The meaning of a word like ‘close’ can be difficult to pin down – placing the ball inside the box might technically be the closest, but it’s likely the speaker wants the ball placed next to the box. For a person to correctly act on the request, they must be able to understand and judge the situation and surrounding context.

Most artificial intelligence (AI) researchers now believe that writing computer code which can capture the nuances of situated interactions is impossible. Alternatively, modern machine learning (ML) researchers have focused on learning about these types of interactions from data. To explore these learning-based approaches and quickly build agents that can make sense of human instructions and safely perform actions in open-ended conditions, we created a research framework within a video game environment.
