2006 Merritt Putnam Symposium: Mapping Epileptic Circuitry

BiOS 2006 Biomedical Optics 2006 Symposium

Mapping insulin/GLUT4 circuitry.

One of the most important metabolic actions of insulin is catalysing glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. This is accomplished via activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt signalling pathway and subsequent translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular storage vesicles to the plasma membrane. As such, this represents an ideal system for studying the convergence of signa...

AAAI 2006 Spring Symposium Reports

Different notions of argument historically have played a central role in artificial intelligence to model the diagnostic reasoning and decision making of medical experts. However, it was beyond the scope of that research to address information needs of the layperson. It was assumed that a medical expert, trained to interpret explanations produced by a system, would mediate between system and la...

2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium

This paper studies the influence, estimation and digital compensation of IQ imbalance at both transmitter and receiver side of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM system. Hereto a preamble is designed, which enables simultaneous estimation of the channel and imbalance parameters. New estimation approaches for TX, RX and joint TX and RX IQ imbalance in MIMO OFDM systems are proposed and...

Position Paper for AAAI 2006 Fellows Symposium

Computational modeling using AI techniques has long been urged as a tool for empirically investigating issues of interest to non-AI domain experts in a variety of fields, such as biochemistry, medicine, law, ethics, and philosophy. AI, it was hoped, would add tools to domains already susceptible of scientific methods, or introduce scientific methodologies to domains that never had them. When th...
