Detection of innocuous temperatures allows an organism to select an appropriate environmental climate, while the ability to recognize noxious temperature extremes warns of impending tissue damage. For temperatures considered cold, the menthol receptor TRPM8 is activated when temperatures drop below ~26°C, thus making it an intriguing candidate as the molecular mediator of cold perception. Howev...

Open Information Extraction (Open IE) is a promising approach for unrestricted Information Discovery (ID). While Open IE is a highly scalable approach, allowing unsupervised relation extraction from open domains, it currently has some limitations. First, it lacks the expressiveness needed to properly represent and extract complex assertions that are abundant in text. Second, it does not consoli...

Question 1 Proposition 1. A graph X is 2-colorable if and only if it is bipartite. Proof. If a graph X is 2-colorable, we can color it using colors a and b. Grouping vertices of color a in A and those of color b in B, we obtain two sets inside which no two vertices are adjacent. Conversly, if X is Bipartite, we can group the vertices in sets A and B. Simply color all vertices of A with color a ...

It has been only a little more than a decade since a professional consensus emerged concerning the need to formulate an alternative to industrial arts. Few question the importance of technology education, or the need for a new name to characterize the program area. Technology education, however, is at a critical juncture. What can be questioned is the ability of the profession to clearly articu...
