BACKGROUND Medical pluralism has flourished throughout the Western world in spite of efforts to legitimize Western biomedical healthcare as "conventional medicine" and thereby relegate all non-physician-related forms of healthcare to an "other" category. These "other" practitioners have been referred to as "unconventional", "alternative" and "complementary", among other terms throughout the pas...

The reservoir computing scheme is a machine learning mechanism which utilizes the naturally occuring computational capabilities of dynamical systems. One important subset of systems that has proven powerful both in experiments and theory are delay-systems. In this work, we investigate the reservoir computing performance of hybrid network-delay systems systematically by evaluating the NARMA10 an...

1. Summary Alternative configurations for more efficient supersonic aircraft are suggested by consideration of the sources of drag at high speeds. Results of studies described in this paper indicate that supersonic aircraft with much higher efficiencies than previously achieved are possible with reduced Mach number. The paper focuses on two promising candidate solutions: oblique wings and confi...

T he inSpace project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Georgia Institute of Technology and Steelcase, bringing together expertise in humancomputer interaction, ubiquitous computing infrastructure, industrial design, furniture and interior design, and architecture. InSpace has two central goals. The first is to understand how guiding principles in the design of the physical world...
