Superfi cial scald of apples and pears, which manifests as brown or black patches on the fruit skin, results from necrosis of the hypodermal cortical tissue (Bain and Mercer, 1963) and is thought to be induced by oxidation products of the sesquiterpene (E,E)-α-farnesene (Anet, 1972a; Huelin and Coggiola, 1970a, 1970b; Huelin and Murray, 1966). Synthesis of sesquiterpenes in plant tissues occurs...

ASA Lessons Learned - 3 - Lester

Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a global optimization algorithm based on an associated proof that the parameter space can be sampled much more efficiently than by using other previous simulated annealing algorithms. The author’s ASA code has been publicly available for over two years. During this time the author has volunteered to help people via e-mail, and the feedback obtained has been...

Lester: A Study in Diagnostic Teaching

born with the uncanny ability of confounding psychologists by amounting to so much more than their test scores would indicate. In contrast to those elements of his personality which make the, above statement true, Lester has, I must admit, his defects. The business of weighing these and trying to determine how much they will mean to Lester when he is full grown and ready for the world is a deli...

Ideas by Statistical Mechanics ( ISM ) † Lester Ingber Lester Ingber Research ( LIR )

Ideas by Statistical Mechanics (ISM) is a generic program to model evolution and propagation of ideas/patterns throughout populations subjected to endogenous and exogenous interactions. The program is based on the author’s work in Statistical Mechanics of Neocortical Interactions (SMNI), and uses the author’s Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) code for optimizations of training sets, as well as...
