Abstract Human music and language are two systems of communication expression that, while historically considered to overlap, have become increasingly divergent in their approach study. Music almost certainly co-evolved emerged from the same semiotic field, this relationship as well co-origin actively researched debated. For sake evaluating content zoomusicology, we investigate a ‘bottom-up’ bi...

Heme oxygenase overexpression or exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) protects against hepatocyte apoptosis and fulminant hepatitis. The prevention of hepatocyte apoptosis by CO has been shown to require activation of NF-kappaB. The purpose of these investigations was to determine the mechanism of CO-induced hepatocyte NF-kappaB activation and protection against apoptosis. Primary rat or mouse hepato...

This paper describes methods to allow spreading activation to be used on web-scale information resources. Existing work has shown that spreading activation can be used to model context over small personal ontologies, which can be used to assist in various user activities, for example, in auto-completing web forms. This previous work is extended and methods are developed by which large external ...

We analyze the relation between induction, co-induction and the presence of encryption cycles in the context of computationally sound symbolic equivalence of cryptographic expressions. Our main finding is that the use of co-induction in the symbolic definition of the adversarial knowledge allows to prove unconditional soundness results, that do not require syntactic restrictions, like the absen...

A robot running a hybrid control system (its architecture comprising a deliberative and a reactive part) must permanently update its symbolic situation model to allow its ongoing deliberation to operate. Previous work has shown that this update can be improved by using, possibly among other sources, the robot’s sensor information as filtered through recent activation value histories of robot be...

Understanding an old dog’s tricks: The coupling of selective C–H activation with O2 by Co(salen).

the effect of mechanical activation on structural changes and kinetics of carbothermic reduction of hematite with graphite was studied in this research. hematite powder mixture with graphite (with stoichiometry ratio c/o=1) was milled for the time periods of zero to 50 hours, and the structural changes were studied using x ray diffraction (xrd). the effect of mechanical activation on the kineti...

We introduce an estimation of distribution algorithm that co-evolves fitness predictors in order to reduce the computational cost of evolution. Fitness predictors are light objects which, given an evolving individual, heuristically approximate its true fitness. The predictors are trained by their ability to correctly differentiate between good and bad solutions using reduced computation. We app...
