Forty five years after its publication, Ernest Gutmann’s book, “The Denervated Muscle,” still stands as a landmark publication. It summarized the state of knowledge of the time and introduced much new research that was ongoing at the Institute of Physiology in Prague. At the time, the response of a muscle to denervation was viewed primarily through the lens of the neurotrophic theory. Advances ...

The ACM/SIGGRAPH Symposia on Solid Modeling and Applications provide an international forum for the exchange of recent research and practical results in all areas and applications of solid modeling. These symposia bring together prominent researchers, practitioners, and numerous students in the field. The sixth ACM Symposium on Solid Modeling and Applications was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on ...

We consider a rank-based technique for estimating GARCH model parameters, some of which are scale transformations of conventional GARCH parameters. The estimators are obtained by minimizing a rank-based residual dispersion function similar to the one given in Jaeckel (1972). They are useful for GARCH order selection and preliminary estimation. We give a limiting distribution for the rank estima...

Subspace identification methods (SIM) have enjoyed tremenous development in the last 15 years in both theory and practice. IMs offer an attractive alternative to input-output methods due o simple and general parametrization for MIMO systems (there s no linear input-output parametrization that is general enough or all linear MIMO systems, see (Katayama, 2005)). Most SIMs all into the unifying th...

In this paper a new interactionistic model of mental causation is developed. By analysing the results of physics and neuroscience it is shown that the macroscopic cerebral activity and the resulting behavioural output is not strictly determined. This opens up the possibility that a non-physical mind can influence which of the physically allowed brain states is realised. Most models of mental ca...

Peter Bannister was born in England, completed a B.Sc. in botany at Nottingham University and a Ph.D. at the University of Aberdeen, on the water relations of heath plants. This combination of ecology and physiology was somewhat novel at the time, and taught him to tread carefully along the narrow line between supervisors in opposing camps. Research on the water relations, resistance to drought...
