In the coming millenium, libraries in order to be effective, need to measure their performance rigorously against the expectations and real needs of their customers. The library of the future will need to be customer sensitive, knowledge creating, agile enterprise. It must provide value to every customer, where value is the customer’s perception of total lifetime benefits minus total lifetime c...

s | 47 Experiment 2. FSL and FRL animals received single injections of CBD (10 or 30 mg/Kg, ip), ketamine (10 mg/Kg, ip) or vehicle and were submitted to the forced swimming test (FST) 1h later. Results: Experiment 1. Acute treatment with CBD (30 mg/Kg) immediately after the pretest, but not with imipramine, significantly reduced the number of escape failures during the test, an antidepressant-...

The Factored Markov Decision Process (FMDP) framework is a standard representation for sequential decision problems under uncertainty where the state is represented as a collection of random variables. Factored Reinforcement Learning (FRL) is an Model-based Reinforcement Learning approach to FMDPs where the transition and reward functions of the problem are learned. In this paper, we show how t...

The zebrafish one-eyed pinhead (oep) mutation disrupts embryonic development, resulting in cyclopia and defects in endoderm, prechordal plate, and ventral neuroectoderm formation. We report the molecular isolation of oep using a positional cloning approach. The oep gene encodes a novel EGF-related protein with similarity to the EGF-CFC proteins cripto, cryptic, and FRL-1. Wild-type oep protein ...
