Integrating Reinforcement Learning into M/M/1/K Retry Queueing Models for 6G Applications by Djamila Talbi, Zoltan Gal

“…The system’s performance is examined under extensive simulations, taking into account multiple arrival rates, queue sizes, and reward scaling factors. The results show that the integration of RL in the 6G-RQS model successfully enhances queue management while maintaining the high performance of the system, and this is by increasing the number of mobile terminals served, even under different and higher traffic demands. …”

Comprehensive multi-omics analysis of histone acetylation modulators identifies ASH1L as a novel aggressive marker for osteosarcoma by Chenlie Ni, Qiwen Sun, Haibo Yin

“…Abstract Background Osteosarcoma, a highly malignant bone tumor prevalent in children and adolescents, continues to have poor long-term survival rates, particularly in metastatic cases. While histone acetylation dysregulation has been implicated in cancer progression, the role of histone acetylation modification-related proteins (HAMRPs) in osteosarcoma immune infiltration and prognosis remains unclear. …”
