Narrative prose generation
No full textAbstractNarrative generation has historically suffered from poor writing quality, stemming from a narrow focus on story grammars and plot design. Moreover, to-date natural language generation systems have not been capable of faithfully reproducing either the variety or complexity of naturally occurring narratives. In this article we first propose a model of narrative derived from work in narratology and grounded in observed linguistic phenomena. Next we describe the Author architecture for narrative generation and an end-to-end implementation of the Author model in the StoryBook narrative prose generation system. Finally, we present a formal evaluation of the narratives that StoryBook produces

E-Textiles for Sports and Fitness Sensing: Current State, Challenges, and Future Opportunities
No full textE-textiles have emerged as a fast-growing area in wearable technology for sports and fitness due to the soft and comfortable nature of textile materials and the capability for smart functionality to be integrated into familiar sports clothing. This review paper presents the roles of wearable technologies in sport and fitness in monitoring movement and biosignals used to assess performance, reduce injury risk, and motivate training/exercise. The drivers of research in e-textiles are discussed after reviewing existing non-textile and textile-based commercial wearable products. Different sensing components/materials (e.g., inertial measurement units, electrodes for biosignals, piezoresistive sensors), manufacturing processes, and their applications in sports and fitness published in the literature were reviewed and discussed. Finally, the paper presents the current challenges of e-textiles to achieve practical applications at scale and future perspectives in e-textiles research and development
Review of \u3ci\u3eMontana\u27s Righteous Hangmen: The Vigilantes in Action\u3c/i\u3e By Lew L. Callaway
No full textThe image of a hastily gathered posse comitatus riding out of a fearfully paralyzed western town to administer swift and violent justice to a band of desperadoes is as firmly etched in the American mind as nearly any popular western scene. In one violent portrait, the remoteness of the frontier from civilization, the failure of established institutions, and the necessity of good men to protect their families and property are capsulized. The fascination with vigilantes is bred of the excitement of its violent solution and the inherent mystery behind it all. What drove men to take the law under their own jurisdiction, and how did they do it?
Lew L. Callaway, who immigrated to Montana at the age of two in 1871 and was later appointed Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court, became entranced with the subject of Montana\u27s famous vigilantes. Callaway, whose father was a business associate of one of the key vigilante leaders, talked with many participants and with others who knew the inner history of these historic extralegal activities in the period 1863 to 1865. First published as newspaper articles and later collected in the limited circulation publication Two True Tales of the Wild West (1973), Callaway\u27s story of Montana\u27s hangmen corrects errors contained in other accounts and introduces new material.
Of most importance to historians, Callaway\u27s treatment of the Montana vigilantes establishes that membership and participation in the movement was much larger and broader than previously portrayed. Part of this misconception was the result of an understandable uneasiness on the part of the vigilantes to have their distasteful deeds fully described and themselves clearly identified. But, as Callaway\u27s account explains, it was the general support the vigilantes received from the populace that genuinely makes the vigilante movement in Montana less conspiratorial than popular versions would have it.
Callaway\u27s father\u27s friendship with James Williams, the reticent but demonstrably key individual in the vigilante organization, provided the author with crucial new information. The result is the story of the vigilantes centered around the biographies of two prime actors in the drama: Captain James Williams, vigilante leader; and Joseph Alfred Slade, an outrageous character who defied the vigilantes and paid the ultimate price

Pathways and Cell Types Underlying Visual Perception in the Mouse
No full textThe primary challenge of systems neuroscience is identifying the circuits and cell types that underlie sensation and behavior. Faced with the daunting task of unraveling six layers of cortex, a hierarchy of visual areas, and a multitude of cell types, visual neuroscience relies on innovative technologies to achieve a circuit-level understanding of perceptual phenomena. This dissertation aims to be an extension of this effort by using advanced tools to address several longstanding questions regarding the structure and function of the visual system. In the past decade, mouse visual cortex has come to the forefront of systems neuroscience, serving as a common ground to study the role of cell types in behavior. Armed with a remarkable arsenal of genetic and molecular tools in transgenic mice, we are poised to observe and manipulate visual circuits in a cell-type specific manner. Yet doing so requires a comprehensive understanding of the system at hand. In the work presented here, I extend our knowledge of the mouse visual system so that we may exploit its experimental advantages to address circuit-level questions. Spanning multiple techniques and circuits, this dissertation investigates the mouse visual system from several angles. First, it refines our understanding of mouse visual cortex functional organization with bulk loaded calcium indicators and a well-studied higher-order stimulus, moving plaids (Chapter 1). Secondly, it characterizes the functional response properties of three different genetically defined layer 5 cell types, using in vivo two-photon imaging in the primary visual cortex (Chapter 2). Lastly, it delineates the topography of thalamocortical projections from the secondary visual thalamic nucleus (LP) to multiple visual cortical areas with classic tracing methods as well as novel viral combinations (Chapter 3). Together, these three studies advance our understanding of the connectivity and function of the mouse visual system, bringing us closer to bridging neurons and behavior

No full textBacteriophage CEV1 was isolated from sheep resistant to Escherichia coli O157:H7 colonization. In vitro, CEV1 efficiently infected E. coli O157:H7 grown both aerobically and anaerobically. In vivo, sheep receiving a single oral dose of CEV1 showed a 2-log-unit reduction in intestinal E. coli O157:H7 levels within 2 days compared to levels in the controls.
