A fundamental goal in vision science is to determine how many neurons in how many areas are required to compute a coherent interpretation of the visual scene. Here I propose six principles of cortical dynamics of visual processing in the first 150 ms following the appearance of a visual stimulus. Fast synaptic communication between neurons depends on the driving neurons and the biophysical hist...

By their nature, data warehouses store large volumes of data. For analytical purposes, the final dataset is frequently aggregated and the transactional detail is lost. When users look at the analytical reports generated out of the BW system, the results they see can not be easily verified. As a result, creating user confidence in data quality becomes difficult and user trust is eroded, which ca...

James Graves Wilson's six principles of teratology [4], published in 1959, guide research on teratogenic agents and their effects on developing organisms. Wilson's six principles were inspired by Gabriel Madeleine Camille Dareste's five principles of experimental teratology [4] published in 1877. Teratology is the study of birth defects [5], and a teratogen is something that either induces or a...

Mobile platforms enable third-parties to extend and enhance functionalities of products and services by mediating these to consumers. A tremendously successful example is Apple’s App Store where third-party developers contribute applications that add to the usefulness of the mobile device. However, research and practice still struggle with understanding why and when such mobile platforms prospe...

to present the basic principles and standards of ethics in medical research and publishing, as well as the need for continuing education in the principles and ethics in science and publication in biomedicine. an analysis of relevant materials and documents, sources from the published literature. investing in education of researches and potential researches, already in the level of medical schoo...

Moving beyond the six-atomic benchmark systems, we discuss new age and future of first-principles reaction dynamics, which investigates complex, multichannel chemical reactions. We describe methodology starting from ab initio characterization stationary points, followed by full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) developments dynamics computations. highlight our composite approach provid...

This article studies how six key aid effectiveness principles for “Hitting the bull’s eye” can bring about the scale up of maternal and newborn health (MNH) interventions. These key principles are based on accepted international agreements such as the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. The results indicate that the six principles should be a guide for recipient countries to take ownership ...
