Galactosemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to a deficiency of galactose-1-P:uridyl transferase (GALT) (classical galactosemia), galactokinase (GALK), or UDP-galactose-4 epimerase (GALE). Of the three, GALT deficiency is the most severe and results in the accumulation of galactose-1-P in tissues, which damages the liver, eye, brain, ovary, and kidney. In GALK deficiency, ingested ga...

“Open” has quickly become the hottest topic in any field related to information, including open government data, open learning resources, open user models, ... Open Corpus Adaptation has been defined as the ability to perform adaptation to resources located anywhere on the Web. This leaves the definition of and control over the adaptation in a central place. GALE adds the ability to have the ad...

This study investigates the performance of Gale-Shapley matching in an evolutionary market context. Computational experimental findings are reported for an evolutionary match-and-play trade network game in which resource-constrained traders repeatedly choose and refuse trade partners in accordance with Gale-Shapley matching, participate in risky trades modelled as twoperson prisoner’s dilemma g...

Given a hyperplane arrangement in an affine space equipped with a linear functional, we define two finite-dimensional, noncommutative algebras, both of which are motivated by the geometry of hypertoric varieties. We show that these algebras are Koszul dual to each other, and that the roles of the two algebras are reversed by Gale duality. We also study the centers and representation categories ...

I only ever really knew Bill via e-mail, yet he represented one of the most significant academic contacts I’ve ever had. The Good-Turing paper that we collaborated on was definitely one of the most fulfilling high points of my publishing career – apart from any intellectual value it may have, it was more fun than almost anything else I’ve worked on in my professional role. It was a privilege fo...
