Effective international action against undernutrition: why has it proven so difficult and what can be done to accelerate progress?
Many transnational organisations work to support efforts to eliminate maternal and child undernutrition in high-burden countries. Financial, intellectual, and personal linkages bind these organisations loosely together as components of an international nutrition system. In this paper, we argue that such a system should deliver in four functional areas: stewardship, mobilisation of financial res...
متن کاملChallenges for Brain Emulation: Why is it so Difficult?
In recent years, half a dozen major research groups have simulated or constructed sizeable networks of artificial neurons, with the ultimate goal to emulate the entire human brain. At this point, these projects are a long way from that goal: they typically simulate thousands of mammalian neurons, versus tens of billions in the human cortex, with less dense connectivity as well as lesscomplex ne...

We are concerned that the traditional legacy compatible approach to software development is holding enterprises back from achieving effective security and privacy, particularly in the cloud. In this paper we discuss the impli...
متن کاملWhy Is It So Difficult for a Robot to Pass Through a Doorway Using Ultrasonic Sensors?
Complex tasks are usually described as high-level goals, leaving out the details on how to achieve them. However, to control a robot, details must be provided. Having the robot move itself to and through an unknown, and possibly narrow, doorway is an example of such a task. We illustrate the difficulty of such a task using actual data from a real robot. We show how the transformation from high-...
