The past decade has witnessed ground-breaking advances in human stem cell biology with scientists validating adult neurogenesis and establishing methods to isolate and propagate stem cell populations suitable for transplantation. These advances have forged promising strategies against human neurodegenerative diseases. For example, growth factor administration could stimulate intrinsic repair fr...

In this note, I review some basic properties of the Hopfield model. I closely follow Chapter 2 of Herz, Krogh & Palmer (1991) which is an excellent introductory textbook on the theory of neural networks. I motivate the mean field analysis of the stochastic Hopfield model slightly differently than Herz, Krogh & Palmer (1991) and my derivations are a little longer, filling in some of the gaps in ...

Palmer amaranth, a dioecious summer annual species, is one of the most trouble‐ some weeds in the agronomic crop production systems in the United States. In the last two decades, continuous reliance on herbicide(s) with the same mode of action as the sole weed management strategy has resulted in the evolution of herbicideresistant (HR) weeds, including Palmer amaranth. By 2015, Palmer amaranth ...
