Are central motor networks composed of task-specific dedicated neurons or are the neurons multifunctional, entering shifting coalitions for particular tasks to form different functional networks? Recent experiments elegantly indicate the latter.

This paper argues that a number of d i f f e r e n t kinds of meaning represen ta t ion , between which p a r t i a l t r ans la t i ons can be made as needed, are a l l required for a reasonably comprehensive language processing system. These representat ions capture d i f f e r e n t and possib ly complementary aspects of a t e x t ' s form, content and reference wor lds, and are sui ted to d...

In the multi-channel tape piece With Shifting Joints, I composed instrumental articulations and placed them around the listener. I applied virtual instruments, physical models comprised of cells and their connections. Such instruments allowed me to realise unconventional articulations with high precision and extreme parameter changes. For example, I bowed an instrument with such a sharp attack ...

The advantages of common path interferometers for reducing effects of vibrations are well known. A scatterplate interferometer is one common-path interferometer that is well suited for the testing of large concave mirrors, however due to the common path characteristics it is difficult to perform phase-shifting. This paper describes a phase-shifting scatterplate interferometer where the phase-sh...

We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissuelike material. The droplets in these networks can be programed to have distinct osmolarities so that osmotic gradients generate internal stresses via local fluid flows to cause the network to change shape. We discover, using molecular dynamics simulations, a reversible folding-u...

similar symmetry has been seen for the glutamate bindfor “predictive remapping” of visual receptive fields in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) (Duhamel et al., 1992), ing domains of the GluR2 channel (Armstrong et al., a part of macaque visual cortex thought to play a role 1998) and has been proposed for the cyclic nucleotide in saccadic eye movements. For many LIP cells, immedibinding doma...

mechanism of oceanic control of climate. They constitute a repository for heat, fresh water and gases such as carbon dioxide, all of which are exchanged at the ocean–atmosphere interface.On the largest scale, the water masses spread and fill the ocean basins. These huge bodies of water are also the engines of large-scale ocean circulation, one that is primarily driven by so-called North Atlanti...

There is one universal truth in terms of design for manufacturing (DFM)-DFM tools and disciplines have always existed. In micron technologies, manufacturing constraints were captured in process technology rule files. This process information was accessed at different levels of abstraction during various stages in the design flow. In addition, design teams implemented best practice methodologies...

A new method for three-dimensional image formation is proposed in which the distribution of complex amplitude at a plane is measured by phase-shifting interferometry and then Fresnel transformed by a digital computer. The method can reconstruct an arbitrary cross section of a three-dimensional object with higher image quality and a wider viewing angle than from conventional digital holography u...

Cavanagh et al. [1] challenge the traditional idea that neuronal activity caused by impending saccades alters receptive field (RF) locations. The authors argue, instead, that saccade-related signals cause shifts of attentional pointers that lack information about object identity but influence visual regions that encode object properties. We agree that the relationship between attention and rema...
