Changing food behaviors in a desirable direction

Changing Direction

High telomerase expression is a hallmark of most types of cancer, and, therefore, strategies to inhibit telomerase as an anticancer treatment have been pursuit for many years. In contrast to cancer, short telomeres and lack of telomerase are associated with aging and agerelated disease, including heart disease. Consequently, pharmacological telomerase activation can delay aging and also provide...

I go on to offer my own account, according to which the difference between beliefs and desires is determined by the normative relations such states stan...

Designing asynchronous parallel process networks for desirable autonomous robot behaviors

The behavior of an autonomous robot is generated by the dynamics of the interaction between the brain and the environment. The designer of the brain must describe and actualize a system that makes a desirable interaction with the contingent physical world in real time. In this paper, we propose a computational model for describing the brains of autonomous robots and an approach to integrating f...
