A prime concern in the design of any general purpose programming language should be the ease and safety of working with natural numbers, particularly in conjunction with discrete data structures.

متن کاملWhat is the natural ligand of GPR55?
GPR55 is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor and was originally identified as a putative third cannabinoid receptor. Recently, lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) was reported to be a GPR55 ligand. Stimulation of GPR55 by LPI activates G(12/13) and G(q/11) proteins, induces phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and increases intracellular calcium concentration. Ly...
متن کاملWhat Does the Retina Know about Natural Scenes?
By examining the experimental data on the statistical properties of natural scenes together with (retinal) contrast sensitivity data, we arrive at a first principles, theoretical hypothesis for the purpose of retinal processing and its relationship to an animal's environment. We argue that the retinal' goal is to transform the visual input as much as possible into a statistically independent ba...
متن کاملBoosting natural capital
Two of the first volumes this year of the Proceedings B of the Royal Society have been dedicated to the issue of sustainable agriculture, signalling researchers’ concerns about the urgent need to address this issue. The editors, Chris Pollock, Jules Pretty, Ian Crute, Chris Leaver and Howard Dalton, highlight issues that continue to fail to impact more widely. And they are blunt in their assess...
متن کاملAnthropogenic- and natural sources of dust in peatland during the Anthropocene
As human impact have been increasing strongly over the last decades, it is crucial to distinguish human-induced dust sources from natural ones in order to define the boundary of a newly proposed epoch - the Anthropocene. Here, we track anthropogenic signatures and natural geochemical anomalies in the Mukhrino peatland, Western Siberia. Human activity was recorded there from cal AD 1958 (±6). An...
