چکیده
David P. Wolfer (born 1960) has been associate professor of anatomy at the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Zurich and at the Institute for Human Movement Sciences at ETH Zurich since 2005. He studied medicine in Zurich and got his doctorate in 1988. His research group investigates the biological basis of cognitive functions, in particular the role of the hippocampus in memory and control of behavior. The group works with genetically modified mice as well as with classical genetics and lesion studies. In the context of this research new methods of behavioral analysis are developed, allowing to measure cognitive functions more efficiently and reliably.

Optimizing hardware
Evolvable hardware distinguishes itself from conventional hardware by its ability to adapt to its environment, and change its structure to perform better on a given task. The principle of adaptation is based on evolution, and has great potential to be used widely in the future, in many areas. This paper discusses the progression in the field of evolvable hardware. It covers the current state of...
متن کاملTowards a Rigorous Approach to UML-Based Development
We discuss the promises and problems of UML-based development. We then suggest a framework in which UML can be used precisely and more disciplined so as to solve the problems and meet the promises better.
متن کاملPromises and Challenges of Evolvable Hardware
Evolvable hardware (EHW) has attracted increasing attention since the early 1990’s with the advent of easily reconfigurable hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s). It promises to provide an entirely new approach to complex electronic circuit design and new adaptive hardware. EHW has been demonstrated to be able to perform a wide range of tasks from pattern recognition to adap...
متن کاملPromises Kept, Promises Broken: An Axiomatic and Quantitative Treatment of Fulfillment
In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework within which to evaluate the reliability of promises that an agent makes, based on past performance of the agent. Our framework does not just propose one such measure, but defines axioms that govern the choice of measure. The framework is able to account for partial fulfillment of promises, late fulfillment of promises, fulfillment of variants o...
متن کاملEnvironmental futures research: experiences, approaches, and opportunities
Despite these diffi culties, the need to think about the future of social-ecological systems cannot be avoided. Th e defi nition of sustainability includes the notion of non-decreasing wealth: sustainable policies meet the needs of the present without undermining future generations’ ability to meet their needs (Arrow et al. 2004). Inevitably, environmental actions aff ect future generations as ...
متن کاملProblems and Promises of Health Technologies: The Role of Early Health Economic Modeling
Background To assess whether early health economic modeling helps to distinguish those healthcare innovations that are potentially cost-effective from those that are not potentially cost-effective. We will also study what information is retrieved from the health economic models to inform further development, research and implementation decisions. Methods We performed s...
