The Yale School of Medicine began accepting women as candidates for the degree of medicine in the fall of 1916. This decision was consistent with the trend in medical education at the time. While Yale was not the first prestigious Eastern medical school to admit women, joining Johns Hopkins (1893) and the University of Pennsylvania (1914), it was not one of the last. Columbia University College...

BACKGROUND This case study describes the value of and need for interinstitutional collaboration to train biomedical researchers in data visualization, using Cytoscape network analysis software as an example. To provide training on Cytoscape software to Yale University biomedical researchers, a collaboration was formed between the Yale Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library's (CWML's) b...

Reason-based actions plunge the reasoner into temporal considerations from all angles. We see this not only when time enters explicitly into the problem statement, but also in formal robot blocks-world scenarios, in the Yale Shooting Problem and other associated versions of the frame problem (e.g., [Hanks and McDermott, 1986]), in various specialized actions (e.g., hiding, as in [Allen, 1984]),...

A solution to the Yale shooting problem has been previously proposed that uses so-called non-normal defaults. This approach produces a single extension. One disadvantage, however, is . that new conflicting information causes the extension to collapse. In this paper we propose a new formal counterpart to the intuitive notion of a reasonable set of beliefs. The new formalization reduces to the pr...
