On the Persistence of Oocyte Nuclei from Fetus to Maturity in the Laboratory Mouse

Tritiated thymidine injected intraperitoneally into female mice midway through the gestation period was demonstrated by autoradiographic methods to be incorporated into the nuclei of oocytes of female embryos, observed at the pachytene stage of meiosis 2 to 4 days after the injection. The tritium label was also demonstrated in the oocyte nuclei of the daughters of similarly treated females at m...

Shakey: From Conception to History

At AAAI-15 (25–29 January 2015) in Austin, Texas, we met to celebrate the impact of the Shakey project, which took place from 1966 to 1972 at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in Menlo Park. We researchers in artificial intelligence during this time in history have the privilege of working on some of the most fundamental and exciting scientific and engineering problems of ...

Pathways to Language: From Fetus to Adolescent

Any five-year-old can tell the difference between “It rains, but it does not snow” and “It rains, but it does not matter”, instantly spotting the elusive words to which the impersonal pronouns refer.
