The identification of T cell growth factors (TCGF) t (1-3) has brought major progress to the study of T lymphocytes, allowing long-term tissue culture of selected T cells. Such lines can be cloned in vitro and kept functionally active as killer (2, 4-7) or helper cells (7-10), or cells showing antigen-specific proliferation (1 I, 12). The major drawback of the use of long-term culture lines, ho...

In Europe, Jews formed a distinct community within a Gentile environment for a long time. This was to change as the importance of religion within society declined. Jews gained—at least formally—the opportunity to integrate into society at large. However, this did not mean that they lost their purported otherness. Instead of religion, somatic features came to serve as criteria of Jewish differen...

Reinforcement Learning is an essential ability for robots to learn new motor skills. Nevertheless, few methods scale into the domain of anthropomorphic robotics. In order to improve in terms of efficiency, the problem is reduced onto reward-weighted imitation. By doing so, we are able to generate a framework for policy learning which both unifies previous reinforcement learning approaches and a...

In this paper the ingredients of computing auditory perception are reviewed. On the basic level there is neurophysiology, which is abstracted to artificial neural nets (ANNs) and enhanced by statistics to machine learning. There are high-level cognitive models derived from psychoacoustics (especially Gestalt principles). The gap between neuroscience and psychoacoustics has to be filled by numer...
