Two characteristics of cognitive science are central and obvious. First, it is cognitive, aiming toward empirical and theoretical understanding of cognition. Its founding disciplines addressed intelligence in humans (cognitive psychology) and computers (artificial intelligence), with special scrutiny given to language as a paradigmatic domain of human competence (linguistics).

infection with hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a worldwide problem. among hcv proteins, core antigen (ag), besides its importance for diagnostic application is a prime candidate for component of a vaccine. herein, we report results of studies on production of the hydrophilic domain of core ag (2-122) in native conformation by an arabinose induction system in e.coli and the primary characterization o...

This chapter presents the basics of the current theory regarding the behavior of blind fractionally-spaced and/or spatial-diversity equalizers (FSE) adapted via the constant modulus algorithm (CMA). The constant modulus algorithm, which was developed in the late 1970s and disclosed in the early 1980s, performs a stochastic gradient descent of a cost function that penalizes the dispersion of the...

Synthetic routes for the preparation of O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and two novel non-hydrolyzable analogs containing an N-acetyl are described and shown to interact with the macro domain of histone protein H2A1.1.
