Lose control, gain influence - Concepts for Metacontrol

The ideas explored here are based on questioning some common assumptions in the usual conceptual models of hybrid (NIME-style) instrument design, and thinking and playing through the implications of these alternate strategies in theory and implementation. They include: varying the mappings between controller input and changing them on the fly in performance, e.g. by gradually entangling or dise...

Heads you gain, tails you lose.

THE FIELD OF TRANSPORT PHYSIOLOGY was fundamentally changed by the discovery of transport proteins that are specific for small neutral molecules such as urea, water, ammonia, and CO2. The identification of first urea transporters (12), then aquaporins or water channels (1), and most recently ammonia transporters (8) (that may also facilitate the movement of CO2), challenged the long-held view t...

Systematic data in biodiversity studies: use it or lose it.

Systematic data in the form of collections data are useful in biodiversity studies in many ways, most importantly because they serve as the only direct evidence of species distributions. However, collecting bias has been demonstrated for most areas of the world and has led some to propose methods that circumvent the need for collections data. New methods that model collections data in combinati...
