Adviser: Julie Albrecht Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria in the colon. The project objective was to determine consumer acceptability of ice cream with prebiotic ingredients substituted for part of the sugar and to determine sensory attributes of sweetness, smoothness, and van...

● We propose fully delexicalized contexts derived from syntactic trees to train word embeddings ● We demonstrate and evaluate our embeddings compared to vanilla word2vec ○ Nearest neighbours ○ Correlation to human judgement ○ Dependency parsing

We present a hierarchical version of timed automata, equipped with data types, hand-shake synchronization, and local variables. We describe the formal semantics of this hierarchical timed automata (HTA) formalism in terms of a transition system. We report on the implementation of a flattening algorithm, that translates our formalism to a network of Uppaal timed automata. We establish a correspo...

Olfactory learning in insects has been used extensively for studies on the neurobiology, genetics, and molecular biology of learning and memory. We show here that the ability of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae to acquire olfactory memories is regulated by the circadian system. We investigated the effect of training and testing at different circadian phases on performance in an odor-discriminat...
