Xenon: Anesthesia for the 21st century, June 2000, AANA Journal

ablation, autonomic nervous system depression, amnesia, and rapid emergence with minimal to no untoward effects. In the past, both the patient and the anesthetist were at risk because of the explosive properties associated with inhaled anesthetics, most notably with cyclopropane and diethyl ether. Patients continue to experience prolonged nausea and/or vomiting from the modern anesthesia arsena...

Report to the National Science Foundation WORKSHOPS ON NEUROMORPHIC ENGINEERING Monday June to Sunday July

Mathias Mayor (1775–1847)

Steno's inability to explain an affair of the soul such as pain in terms of the impact of matter reveals the dualist split between science and religion which makes itself increasingly perceptible at the time and seems to have troubled him fundamentally. Had earlier scientific men such as Harvey and Van Helmont been perhaps happier in their monist view of the world and of the 'working-matter' in...

Monday Workshop Presenters : Title :

The nonsmooth composite minimization problem, whose objective function is the sum of an average of N smooth (possibly nonconvex) functions plus a proper closed convex function, is widely studied in large-scale machine learning, statistics and optimization. Unlike the numerous stochastic firstorder methods, the knowledge on stochastic second-order methods for this problem is very limited. In thi...

The Center for Neural Interface Design of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University conducted an experiment to investigate how the central nervous system controls hand orientation and movement direction during reach-to-grasp movements. ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), a conventional data analysis widely used in neural science, was performed to categorized different neural activities. Som...
