I start by reviewing existing ~ pp measurements with particular emphasis on the recent 221 MeV ~pp measurement at TRIUMF which permitted the weak meson-nucleon coupling constants h ρ and h pp ω to be determined separately for the first time. I then review ~np experiments, with specific details of the ~np → dγ experiment now under preparation at Los Alamos National Laboratory. This experiment wi...

A generalized ordered space (a GO-space) is a triple (X, τ,<) where (X,<) is a linearly ordered set and τ is a Hausdorff topology on X that has a base of order-convex sets. If τ is the usual open interval topology of the order <, then we say that (X, τ,<) is a linearly ordered topological space (LOTS). Besides the usual real line, probably the most familiar examples of GO-spaces are the Sorgenf...

• 1996 scaled tree-based classifiers to very large data sets. A fundamental challenge in data mining is to mine data sets that are so large that they do not fit into a computer’s memory. This is important for a wide variety of applications ranging from homeland defense to identifying fraudulent credit card transactions. One of the most accurate techniques in data mining is tree-based classifier...

Achieving abstinence in the treatment of cannabis dependence has been difficult. To date the most successful treatments have included combinations of motivational enhancement treatment plus cognitive–behavioural coping skills training and/or contingency management approaches rewarding abstinence. Although these approaches are theoretically based, their mechanisms of action have not been explore...

Agren, T., Engman, J., Frick, A., Bjorkstrand, J., Larsson, E. M., Furmark, T. et al. (2012). Disruption of reconsolidation erases a fear memory trace in the human amygdala. Science, 337, 1550-1552. Notes: Memories become labile when recalled. In humans and rodents alike, reactivated fear memories can be attenuated by disrupting reconsolidation with extinction training. Using functional brain i...
