(In: Rosenblith, W.A. (Ed.), Sensory Communication, Wiley, New York, pp. 303–317). Based on simple behavioural experiments, Reichardt proposed an elegant computational account of motion processing by the visual system of the Chlorophanus beetle. His proposal has been simplified, elaborated and reinvented on at least one occasion but remains the most influential model of visual motion processing...

Tropical Geometry is a rapidly developing field at the interface of algebraic geometry and polyhedral combinatorics. In [14] and [42] tropical geometry was related to constructing compactifications of certain non-compact algebraic varieties. To a subvariety X of an algebraic torus there exist compactifications X with boundaries D = X\X with desirable properties, and such that the structure of D...

When we are honest with ourselves, usually in the early hours of the morning, we know that we haven't given enough time to colleagues, wives, children and other members of our families. Outside medicine we all meet friends who say as much, usually with exceptional politeness. A successful academic colleague, the son of a retired general medical practitio...
