Wnt — looking outside in

On the outside Looking in

North, discusses and illustrates stress and frustration among rural adolescents. The article is based on tapes of classroom discussion and written work produced while the author was a teacher. We live in the fourth most densely populated country in the world. For the most part we are town dwellers, thinking urban thoughts, experiencing urban feelings, constructing urban plans for the future. We...

Outside looking in: nanotube transistor intracellular sensors.

Nanowire-based field-effect transistors, including devices with planar and three-dimensional configurations, are being actively explored as detectors for extra- and intracellular recording due to their small size and high sensitivities. Here we report the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of a new needle-shaped nanoprobe based on an active silicon nanotube transistor, ANTT, that enab...

Topological Black Holes – Outside Looking In

I describe the general mathematical construction and physical picture of topological black holes, which are black holes whose event horizons are surfaces of non-trivial topology. The construction is carried out in an arbitrary number of dimensions, and includes all known special cases which have appeared before in the literature. I describe the basic features of massive charged topological blac...

Outside Looking In: Landmark Generalization in the Human Navigational System.

UNLABELLED The use of landmarks is central to many navigational strategies. Here we use multivoxel pattern analysis of fMRI data to understand how landmarks are coded in the human brain. Subjects were scanned while viewing the interiors and exteriors of campus buildings. Despite their visual dissimilarity, interiors and exteriors corresponding to the same building elicited similar activity patt...
