In his hydroplate model, Walt Brown makes a number of statements and claims concerning astronomical issues. Many of these statements and claims are incorrect and/or misleading. This study presents an analysis of these problems. It is left to others to judge the merits of the geological arguments of the hydroplate theory. * Danny R.

A new model for associative memories is proposed in this paper. The mathematical tools used in this new model, include two binary operators designed specifically for the memories developed here. These operators were arbitrarí/y named as the .first two letters from the Greek alphabet: a and fJ. The new associative memories (afJ)are oftwo kinds and are able to operate in two different modes. The ...

GENESIS is the new version of the GENESIS software environment for musical creation by means of massinteraction physics network modelling. It was re-designed from scratch in hindsight of more than 10 years working on and using the previous version. We take the opportunity of this release to provide in this article an analysis of the specificities of GENESIS and an update on the features of the ...

Implementation in GENESIS of a Model of the Striatal Medium Spiny Projection Neuron The Medium Spiny Projection (MSP) neuron is the main cell type (> 90%) of the striatum, the input stage of basal ganglia. Basal ganglia receive input from the cortex and is the structure in the brain, thought to be involved in selection and initiation of motor and possibly cognitive actions as well. To understan...

We survey the genesis and development of higher algebraic K-theory by Daniel Quillen.

The European Commission Code of Conduct for Responsible Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies Research (EC CoC) is a case of soft regulation of an emerging technological field. It can be deemed an instrument of meta-regulation aimed at fostering self-regulatory behaviours, and as an example of the distribution of responsibilities among stakeholders within the Responsible Research and Innovation (RR...
