The brain-machine disanalogy revisited.
Michael Conrad was a pioneer in investigating biological information processing. He believed that there are fundamental lessons to be learned from the structure and behavior of biological brains that we are far from understanding or have implemented in our computers. Accumulation of advances in several fields have confirmed his views in broad outline but not necessarily in some of the strong fo...
متن کاملNanotech in motion.
IMAGE: YUJI SAKAI / DIGITALVISION / GETTY IMAGES Environmental, political and public health concerns are pushing the automotive industry to develop profitable green technologies. In this Insight, we look at how nanotechnology is contributing to the cause. Three pieces focus on battery nanomaterials, scalable production of hydrogen and a possible alternative for platinum-group-free membranes for...
متن کاملThe psychology of GMO
To label or not? That was on the California ballot during last year's US elections, owing to a push from food safety advocates to have genetically modified food advertised as such, as has been standard in Europe for years. Those lined up in favor of the food labeling initiative argued that the consumer has a right to know what they're eating. But in a counterattack , a coalition of agribusiness...
متن کاملEmerging Nanotech Applications in the Oil Industry
With the introduction of nanotechnology, energy industries envisage a potential revolutionary change in the field of exploration, development and production. Research by universities into such areas as nanosensors, nanomarkers and nanobots to provide valuable data regarding the reservoir are of great focus due to their large potential return on investment, but have yet to yield substantive prod...
متن کاملisovector GMO
How precisely can we determine the πNN coupling constant from the isovector GMO sum rule? Abstract The isovector GMO sum rule for zero energy forward πN scattering is critically studied to obtain the charged πNN coupling constant using the precise π − p and π − d scattering lengths deduced recently from pionic atom experiments. This direct determination leads to g
