Genetic Programming (GP) is a machine learning technique that writes computer programs, automatically. Although individual researchers used GP techniques in the 1960’s and 1970’s, GP emerged as a distinct discipline in 1992. Since that time, over one thousand academic studies have been published in the field and, in 1998, commercial GP software – Discipulus – reached the market. Discipulus is a...

This study is an application of neutrosophy to the dynamics of love, the most interesting social phenomena. The love dynamics were studied earlier by Strogatz (Strogatz, 1994), Radzicki (Radzicki, 1993), Rapport (Rapport, 1960), etc. Although Strogatz’s model (Strogatz, 1994) was originally intended only to motivate students, it makes several interesting and plausible predictions, and suggests ...

APL is a functional array programming language from the 1960’s. While APL no longer has widespread adoption as a general programming language, there still exist large codebases in APL in the industry. Accelerate is an array language embedded in Haskell for doing high-performance computation on GPU’s. In this report I present a compiler written in Haskell for compiling a typed intermediate array...

Note: This essay was written for the catalog that accompanied the exhibition: Eigenwelt der Apparatewelt: Pioneers of Electronic Art. The exhibition was presented as part of Ars Electronica 1992, in Linz, Austria and was curated by Woody and Steina Vasulka. It consisted of a comprehensive, interactive display of vintage electronic tools for video and audio generation/processing from the 1960's ...

Corticocortical interactions between the primary motor cortex, the ventral premotor cortex and posterior parietal motor areas, such as the anterior and caudal intraparietal sulcus, are relevant for skilled voluntary hand function. It remains unclear to what extent these brain regions and their interactions also contribute to basic motor functions after stroke. We hypothesized that white matter ...

This paper argues that glossing is an essential stage in the borrowing of writing systems. I use the term “glossing” in a somewhat extended sense to refer to a process where a text in one language is prepared (annotated, marked) to be read in another. I argue that this process of “vernacular reading” – reading a text written in the script, orthography, lexicon and grammar of a more prestigious ...

()ualitativc research is inquiry nimed at describing and clarifying human experience as it appears in people's lives. Researchers ming qualitative methods gather data that serve as evidence for their distilled descriptions. Qualitative data are gathered primarily in the form of spoken or written language rather than in the form of numbers. Possible data sources arc interviews with participants,...

OBJECTIVES To integrate an Internet-based medical chart (IMC) system into a pharmacotherapy course to facilitate evaluation and feedback processes, foster development of written documentation skills, and prepare pharmacy students for future changes in electronic medical documentation systems. DESIGN An IMC system was introduced into a pharmacotherapy course for third-professional year pharmac...

Emotion effects in event-related brain potentials (ERPs) have previously been reported for a range of visual stimuli, including emotional words, pictures, and facial expressions. Still, little is known about the actual comparability of emotion effects across these stimulus classes. The present study aimed to fill this gap by investigating emotion effects in response to words, pictures, and faci...
