Blowflies (scientific name Calliphora erythrocephala) possess multiple classes of visually responsive neurons. Of particular interest to this study is the H1 neuron, which responds to large-field horizontal motion by integrating responses from multiple horizontally selective (HS) cells near the retina [1] and generating action potentials at larger frequencies for movement in the preferred direc...

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to observe one fact about Mars: it has a lot of rocks. While each is typically given a name based on protocols of scientific classification, many are known by informal, often humorous names like "Grandma" and "Space Ghost." And now on Mars, there’s a rock for fans of Civil War history—"Chamberlain," named of course for Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the her...

We describe the development of the KandISTI family of model checkers from its origins nearly two decades ago until its very recent latest addition. Most progress was made, however, during two integrated European projects, AGILE and SENSORIA, in which our FM&&T lab participated under the scientific coordination of Martin Wirsing. Moreover, the very name of the family of model checkers is partly ...

We present heterogeneous networks as a way to unify lexical networks with relational data. We build a unified ACL Anthology network, tying together the citation, author collaboration, and termcooccurence networks with affiliation and venue relations. This representation proves to be convenient and allows problems such as name disambiguation, topic modeling, and the measurement of scientific imp...

We present two related tasks of the BioNLP Shared Tasks 2011: Bacteria Gene Renaming (Rename) and Bacteria Gene Interactions (GI). We detail the objectives, the corpus specification, the evaluation metrics, and we summarize the participants’ results. Both issued from PubMed scientific literature abstracts, the Rename task aims at extracting gene name synonyms, and the GI task aims at extracting...

“Intelligent Design” (ID) is the name given to a new school of thought regarding the origin and evolution of life on earth. While it claims no specific spiritual allegiance, it argues that living things are “irreducibly complex” and, therefore, clearly the product of intentional design. As a scientific theory, ID is little more than a rhetorical device; no independent research or evidence are p...
