Driving a car involves considering it at diierent spatio-temporal scales, and somehow leads to behavior such as the parallel parking maneuver, the three-point turn, free Euclidean driving in a desert, following a road, and translationally passing other vehicles at high speed. In the study of autonomous systems, it is desirable to nd a representation in which such diierent behaviors of a single ...

A 43-year-old man with a 28-year history of type 1 diabetes presented to our foot clinic in February 2008 with a fractured left second proximal phalanx due to trauma. His diabetes control was poor, with an HbA1c of 79mmol/mol (9.4%) [reference range <42mmol/mol (<6.0%)] at presentation. He was known to have diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and had previously undergone bilateral pan retinal photo...

One of the most challenging but largely unaddressed problems in pervasive computing is that of efficiently creating interactive information summaries that are individually tailored to a wide variety of pervasive devices and contexts. We are developing a new software entity to address this problem that will dynamically generate appropriate interactive information summaries that can be communicat...

sented to an emergency department in Hamilton, Ontario, on Sept. 28 with a two-day history of dysphagia. On Sept. 3, the patient had undergone a dental procedure to remove a plate from her mouth. She had been well until Sept. 17, when she had fallen on her driveway and suffered an abrasion to her right forearm, which had been managed at home by her daughter with local wound care. She had then p...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the idea of tatami tilings, and to present some of the many interesting and fun questions that arise when studying them. Roughly speaking, we are considering are tilings of rectilinear regions with 1×2 dimer tiles and 1×1 monomer tiles, with the constraint that no four corners of the tiles meet. Typical problems are to minimize the number of monome...

Isolation within the medical profession is becoming so severe that an Ottawa psychiatrist has launched a “Neighbourhood Watch” program as an early-warning system to identify physicians who need help because of depression or stress. Ottawa psychiatrist Mamta Gautam, whose practice is limited to the treatment of physicians, said isolation is one of the major problems facing physicians because the...

“Listen, howwould you like to come on tourwithmynewband?” BennyWilson asked me in the summer of 1965 duringmy final year of graduate school. A few days later, I received a letter from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with the news that I had been awarded a three-year fellowship to do postdoctoral research at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge....

grows louder as it nears your home and you realize you’ve made a mistake. But it’s too late. In a moment of panic, you dialed those three digits — 911 — and triggered a system. Soon paramedics are rushing through the front door and into the bedroom where your grandfather lies beneath his favourite blanket, without breath, without pulse, finally at rest after a fight with cancer that lasted a ye...

We have developed a simple yet effective technique for planning the generation of natural language texts that describe photographs of natural scenes as processed by the UMass VISIONS system. The texts follow the ordering on the scene’ s objects that is imposed by their visual salience -an ordering which we believe is naturally computed as a by-product of visual processing, and thus is available...
