Using a new dataset, this paper presents new evidence on inequality in Latin America for the 19th century and studies the effects of factor endowments and trade on inequality. Recent research has highlighted the link between the colonial origins of inequality and its persistence in Latin America. We find that inequality varied substantially throughout the century a...

Comment on: Clinical utility of ANA measured by ELISA compared with ANA measured by immunofluorescence.

ANA*: Anytime Nonparametric A*

Anytime variants of Dijkstra’s and A* shortest path algorithms quickly produce a suboptimal solution and then improve it over time. For example, ARA* introduces a weighting value (ε) to rapidly find an initial suboptimal path and then reduces ε to improve path quality over time. In ARA*, ε is based on a linear trajectory with ad-hoc parameters chosen by each user. We propose a new Anytime A* al...

Adaptive Neuromorphic Architecture (ANA)

We designed Adaptive Neuromorphic Architecture (ANA) that self-adjusts its inherent parameters (for instance, the resonant frequency) naturally following the stimuli frequency. Such an architecture is required for brain-like engineered systems because some parameters of the stimuli (for instance, the stimuli frequency) are not known in advance. Such adaptivity comes from a circuit element with ...

raditional radiation therapy (RT) typically delivers radiation to a wide target field within the body resulting in the treatment of both the tumor and a significant volume of surrounding healthy tissue. This technology is ideal for tumors that invade the surrounding tissue and when tumor margins are not well defined. In an effort to protect the healthy tissue, traditional RT is delivered in sma...
