Morphomechanics: goals, basic experiments and models.

Morphomechanics is a branch of developmental biology, studying the generation, space-time patterns and morphogenetic role of mechanical stresses (MS) which reside in embryonic tissues. All the morphogenetically active embryonic tissues studied in this respect have been shown to bear substantial mechanical stresses of tension or pressure. MS are indispensable for organized cell movements, expres...

Research Goals

My research goal is to continue to advance the state of the art in multi-agent reinforcement learning. There exist many real world examples of multi-agent domains that I plan to work with in the future, such as fire and emergency response in an wide scale emergency situation (such as an earthquake), vehicle routing and product delivery, passenger pickup, dropoff, and scheduling for taxis, and g...

Goals and rationale for pharmacotherapeutic approach in treating cocaine dependence: insights from basic and clinical research.

The early research conducted in the author’s laboratory from 1975 onward stemmed from the even earlier work, beginning in 1964 when the author was a member of the laboratory of Professor Vincent P. Dole at the Rockefeller Institute for Biomedical Research (now the Rockefeller University) (Dole et al. 1966; Kreek 1972, 1973a; Kreek et al. 1972). At that time, scientists were challenged to develo...

Research Interests, Accomplishments, and Goals

In text mining, a collection of documents is often pre-processed to form a sparse termdocument matrix. In Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), this is followed by a computation of a low-rank approximation to the data matrix, in order to filter out noise and redundancy due to word usage. The computation of these low-rank approximation by factorization algorithms can be time-consuming when the data se...
