Interview with Burton L. Shapiro
No full textBurton Shapiro was born in New York City on March 29, 1934 and grew up in Manhattan. He completed his undergraduate work at Tufts University and then attended New York University (NYU) Dental School from which he graduated in 1958. After completing two years of naval service in San Diego, California, Shapiro pursued a master's degree in oral pathology from the University of Minnesota, studying under Dr. Robert Gorlin. Shapiro then completed a Ph.D. in genetics in 1966. At the time, he was one of only two dentists in the world trained in genetics. He became an associate professor in the University's Dental School in 1966 and conducted research on a number of topics, including Down syndrome, exfoliative cytology, programmed cell death, and cystic fibrosis. Dr. Shapiro also served the University on several committees, including the Faculty Consultative Committee, and on the Faculty Senate. He retired in 2005.Burton Shapiro begins his interview with a survey of his education and choices to pursue dental specialization and genetics research. He discusses his position as a genetics researcher in the Dental School, his dental education at New York University (NYU), and his responsibilities as a professor at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Shapiro then provides a chronology and review of his research, including his work on Down syndrome, exfoliative cytology, programmed cell death, and cystic fibrosis. He discusses his sources of funding, including money that came directly from the Minnesota Legislature and money from the American Cancer Society. Dr. Shapiro then reflects on the Dental School and the University more broadly, including the following topics: the deanships of William Crawford and Erwin Schaffer, student activism in the Dental School, the work of Carl Witkop, changing configurations of the School, the increasing number of women in the School, the creation of the Division of Health Ecology, the relationships between University Hospitals and Clinics and the Dental School, water fluoridation in Minnesota, the move from Owre Hall to Moos Tower, his experiences with Lyle French and the State Legislature, his work on the Health Sciences Policy and Review Committee and other committee work, Richard Oliver's deanship, retrenchment, minority admissions, Richard Elzay's deanship, the threat of closure of the Dental School, Neal Vanselow as vice president of the AHC, William Brody as provost of the AHC, and Frank Cerra as vice president of the AHC.Klaffke, Lauren E.; Shaprio, Burton L..

Functional imaging reveals working memory and attention interact to produce the attentional blink
No full textCopyright @ 2012 Massachusetts Institute of Technology PressIf two centrally presented visual stimuli occur within approximately half a second of each other, the second target often fails to be reported correctly. This effect, called the attentional blink (AB; Raymond, J. E., Shapiro, K. L., & Arnell, K. M. Temporary suppression of visual processing in an RSVP task: An attentional blink? Journal of Experimental Psychology, Human Perception and Performance, 18, 849-860, 1992], has been attributed to a resource "bottleneck," likely arising as a failure of attention during encoding into or retrieval from visual working memory (WM). Here we present participants with a hybrid WM-AB study while they undergo fMRI to provide insight into the neural underpinnings of this bottleneck. Consistent with a WM-based bottleneck account, fronto-parietal brain areas exhibited a WM load-dependent modulation of neural responses during the AB task. These results are consistent with the view that WM and attention share a capacity-limited resource and provide insight into the neural structures that underlie resource allocation in tasks requiring joint use of WM and attention.This research was supported by a project grant (071944) from the Wellcome Trust to Kimron Shapiro
Spectrum of a Rudin-Shapiro-like sequence
No full textWe show that a recently proposed Rudin-Shapiro-like sequence, with balanced weights, has purely singular continuous diffraction spectrum, in contrast to the well-known Rudin-Shapiro sequence whose diffraction is absolutely continuous. This answers a question that had been raised about this new sequence
Transforming Power Relationships: Leadership, Risk, and Hope. IHS Political Science Series No. 135, May 2013
No full textChronic communal conflicts resemble the prisoner’s dilemma. Both communities prefer peace to war. But neither trusts the other, viewing the other’s gain as its own loss, so
potentially shared interests often go unrealized.
Achieving positive-sum outcomes from apparently zero-sum struggles requires a kind of riskembracing leadership. To succeed leaders must: a) see power relations as potentially
positive-sum; b) strengthen negotiating adversaries instead of weakening them; and c) demonstrate hope for a positive future and take great personal risks to achieve it.
Such leadership is exemplified by Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk in the South African democratic transition. To illuminate the strategic dilemmas Mandela and de Klerk faced, we examine the work of Robert Axelrod, Thomas Schelling, and Josep Colomer, who highlight important dimensions of the problem but underplay the role of risk-embracing leadership. Finally we discuss leadership successes and failures in the Northern Ireland settlement and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
