Updating Homeostasis
10 years ago, a group of us put on an international meeting at the NIH entitled “The Energetic and Dynamic Basis of Health and Aging” [3]. The centerpiece of our conference was the reification of the term homeodynamics [4]. This word was proposed and elaborated by Dr. Gene Yates of UCLA who was a leader of our conference. Homeodynamics extends homeostasis into a more inclusive term. It is evide...
متن کاملUpdating Probabilities
The Method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) has been designed for updating from a prior distribution to a posterior distribution when the information being processed is in the form of a constraint on the family of allowed posteriors. This is in contrast with the usual MaxEnt which was designed as a method to assign, and not to update, probabilities. The objective of this paper is to strengthe...
متن کاملUpdating <=, <-chains
We address the problem of very efficient reasoning and update in ≤, <-chains, where a ≤, <-chain is a directed acyclic graph such that there is a directed path between every pair of vertices, and edges are consistently labelled by ≤ or <. It is easy to show that, subsequent to an O(n) labelling scheme, queries concerning implied ≤ and < relations can be answered in O(1) time. However this schem...
متن کاملANTICONVULSANT THERAPY-INDUCED ALTERATIONS IN CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS
35 epileptic patients, aged 10 to 58 years (mean 23), who were taking anticonvulsant drugs were studied. The patients exhibited a 34% reduction in serum calcium levels, a 41 % increase in serum alkaline phosphatase activity and a slight but insignificant decrease in serum phosphate, compared to untreated controls. These changes appear to be related to the anticonvulsant drug taken, in the ...
متن کاملAbout Updating
Survey of several forms of updating, with a practical illustrative example. We study several updating (conditioning) schemes that emerge naturally from a common scenario to provide some insights into their meaning. Updating is a subtle operation and there is no single method, no single 'good' rule. The choice of the appropriate rule must always be given due consideration. Planchet (1989) presen...
