Disagreeing Preemptive/Prophylaxis: From Philip K. Dick to Jacques Ranciere

Learning from Disagreeing Demonstrators

We study the problem of learning from disagreeing demonstrators. We present a model that suggests how it might be possible to design an incentive-compatible mechanism that combines demonstrations from human agents who disagree on the evaluation of the demonstrated task. Apart from comonotonicity of preferences over atomic outcomes, we make no assumptions over the preferences of our demonstrator...

Philip K. Bondy: an appreciation.

A tribute to Dick Heinegård

This issue of Matrix Biology commemorates the memory of Dick Heinegård and his exceptional contributions to identify extracellular matrix molecules and their interactions that form cartilage matrices. This tribute to him demonstrates the development of his cartilage matrix model and how this model relates to the articles in this Matrix Biology Cartilage issue.

The maturation of a pre-B cell to an immunoglobulin (Ig)-bearing B cell requires an effective recombination of a light chain variable (VL) 1 and joining (JL) gene segment (1-11). Man uses both light chain gene classes appreciably, expressing K light chain in -60% and ~ light chain in 40% of mature B cells. Despite their nearly equal usage, however, the rearrangement of human Ig light chain gene...

A tribute to Dick Askey
