Learning state prediction using a weightless neural explorer

A weightless neural state machine acting as an exploratory automaton changes its position in a simulated toy world by its own actions. A popular question is asked: how might the automaton ‘become conscious of’ the effect of its own actions? Here we develop previously defined iconic learning in such weightless machines so that this knowledge can be achieved. Weightlessness, iconic learning are e...

We particularly focus on exploring how different interaction techniques can be employed to efficiently create, erase, or edit the layouts of these walls, and envisioning how they could impact the overall office experience.

The Weightless Economy in Growth

When an academic, scientist, or research engineer harps on about the knowledge-based economy, it’s hard to take as anything other than shameless self-serving hyperbole. Knowledge is, after all, what these people are supposed to be producing, and now here they are, telling the rest of us that that’s what drives the economy. Combine those self-promoting tendencies with the superficial observation...

Method for determination of calcium in serum, parotid fluid and urine in the weightless state.

Since the Manned Orbiting Laboratory program includes onboard monitoring of calcium metabolism, a method suitable for this determination under conditions of weightlessness has been investigated. Most techniques for calcium assay that are used at the present time have certain disadvantages that would preclude their use under conditions of weightlessness; whereas the nuclear fast red (NFR) techni...
