A margin-based loss following (Weston et al., 2008) is chosen for training: (8) This loss function encourages similar examples (where W ij = 1) to be close in output space, and dissimilar ones to have a distance of at least m from each other's output.
These findings, together with our observations that 5-HT6 rengagers engage mTOR in neurons of the PFC, a structure critical for numerous cognitive functions, encouraged us to explore the role of prefrontal mTOR in cognitive impairments induced by 5-HT6 agonists.
This creates shared accountability with other functions, encourages CMI teams to take responsibility for growth, and motivates them to go the extra mile.
There is growing evidence that relearning of function is encouraged by appropriate functional practice of meaningful tasks aimed at acquiring a practical skill, rather than simple repetition of a movement [ 16].
Advances in understanding the role of NO signaling in myocardial function have encouraged recent research into whether NOS uncoupling contributes to the pathogenesis of several aspects of heart failure.
Stage II is the subacute phase when symptom relief and quick return to normal function are encouraged.
We suggest that our enhancements to the CPOE system (ie, forced checks of all medication parameters and clearly visible verification status) acted as a cueing function that encouraged task resumption by reminding nurses of outstanding verification items after being interrupted.
