In his article A Wake-Up Call for the Logic Programming Community, published in the December 2007 issue of the ALP Newsletter, the first author raised concerns about the viability of the Prolog programming language in the near future. The article had a pessimistic undertone, but expressed the hope that the current evolution can be reversed by uniting the Prolog community. Now, almost a year lat...

Uniting Haptic Exploration and Display

This work develops a methodology for building haptic reality-based modeling systems by exploiting the complementary goals of haptic exploration and display. While the generally unstructured nature of haptic exploration makes it diÆcult to develop and control autonomous robotic ngers, simultaneous consideration of exploration and display provides a way to characterize the required sensing, contr...

Uniting to save cancer cells

that normally crowd the AIS’s plasma membrane dispersed. When ankyrinG was absent the erstwhile axons began to resemble dendrites, sprouting spines and developing excitatory synapses. Characteristic molecules from the cell body and dendrites, such as the microtubule polymerizing protein MAP2, also infi ltrated the axons. The AIS appears to serve as a fi lter that screens out dendritic proteins,...
