We maximized mutual information between the sensor locations (treated as random variables) to find a near-optimal choice of k sensors. In the original paper, the authors used a gaussian process to model the random variables and they therefore had analytical expressions for the mutual informations. Given data X1, . . . , Xn ∈ R (we have p possible sensor locations and n samples), they fit a gaus...

The nervous system is composed of a vast number of neurons with strikingly different dendritic morphology. The control of dendrite morphogenesis is an important and unresolved problem. Recently we found that the multiple dendritic (MD) (also known as dendritic arborization (DA)) neurons of the Drosophila peripheral nervous system serve as an excellent model system for a genetic dissection of de...

Dissertation Jan Steckel DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ENERGY SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION This thesis addresses the role of developing countries in the context of climate change mitigation and energy system transformation. It starts from the hypothesis that mitigation of climate change might form a major dilemma for developing countries, as it potentially negati...

Jan Bureš, an exceptionally humane, creative, and gifted experimentalist who died on August 24, 2012 at the age of 86, is rightly viewed as one of the founding fathers of modern neuroscience. Jan was born June 13, 1926 in the Czech Republic, and soon after studying medicine, established with Olga Burešova, his wife and lifelong collaborator, the Laboratory of Neurophysiology of Memory in the In...

To evaluate the frequency and appropriateness of indwelling urinary catheters (IUC) use and the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CA-UTI), and explore the risk factors for CA-UTI in hospitals as a whole, we conducted a study. This study was divided into two parts; a point-prevalence study on Dec 12th 2012 and a prospective cohort study from Dec 13th 2012 to Jan 9th 2013...

We provide a unified directed search framework with general production and matching specifications that encompasses most of the existing literature. We prove the existence of subgame perfect Nash equilibria in pure firm strategies in a finite version of the model. We use this result to derive a more complete characterization of the equilibrium set for the finite economy and to extend convergenc...

In Chomsky’s Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1992), formal licensing operations are defined as feature matching operations. Elements are inserted in fully inflected form, carrying abstract morphological features associated with the inflection. These features have counterparts represented in functional heads. At some point in the derivation, the inflected elements raise to a position close to these ...

(Managuacontinued on Page 3) Parenting Support In Small Doses Improves Child Conduct And More S years ago, researchers began investigating whether they could, in only a few sessions, promote more effective and positive parenting among at-risk families and, in turn, help prevent young children from developing problem behaviors later in life. What they didn’t anticipate was that important school ...
