10 years ago, a group of us put on an international meeting at the NIH entitled “The Energetic and Dynamic Basis of Health and Aging” [3]. The centerpiece of our conference was the reification of the term homeodynamics [4]. This word was proposed and elaborated by Dr. Gene Yates of UCLA who was a leader of our conference. Homeodynamics extends homeostasis into a more inclusive term. It is evide...

marine industry requires continued development of new technologies in order to produce oil. an essential requirement in design is to be able to compare experimental data from prototype structures with predicted information from a corresponding analytical finite element model. in this study, structural model updating may be defined as the fit of an existing analytical model in the light of measu...

The Method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) has been designed for updating from a prior distribution to a posterior distribution when the information being processed is in the form of a constraint on the family of allowed posteriors. This is in contrast with the usual MaxEnt which was designed as a method to assign, and not to update, probabilities. The objective of this paper is to strengthe...

We address the problem of very efficient reasoning and update in ≤, <-chains, where a ≤, <-chain is a directed acyclic graph such that there is a directed path between every pair of vertices, and edges are consistently labelled by ≤ or <. It is easy to show that, subsequent to an O(n) labelling scheme, queries concerning implied ≤ and < relations can be answered in O(1) time. However this schem...

Updating of working memory has been associated with striato-frontal brain regions and phasic dopaminergic neurotransmission. We assessed raclopride binding to striatal dopamine (DA) D2 receptors during a letter-updating task and a control condition before and after 5 weeks of updating training. Results showed that updating affected DA activity before training and that training further increased...
