What can developmental disorders tell us about the neurocomputational constraints that shape development? the case of Williams syndrome
No full textThe uneven cognitive phenotype in the adult outcome of Williams syndrome has led some researchers to make strong claims about the modularity of the brain and the purported genetically determined, innate specification of cognitive modules. Such arguments have particularly been marshaled with respect to language. We challenge this direct generalization from adult phenotypic outcomes to genetic specification and consider instead how genetic disorders provide clues to the constraints on plasticity that shape the outcome of development. We specifically examine behavioral studies, brain imaging, and computational modeling of language in Williams syndrome but contend that our theoretical arguments apply equally to other cognitive domains and other developmental disorders. While acknowledging that selective deficits in normal adult patients might justify claims about cognitive modularity, we question whether similar, seemingly selective deficits found in genetic disorders can be used to argue that such cognitive modules are prespecified in infant brains. Cognitive modules are, in our view, the outcome of development, not its starting point. We note that most work on genetic disorders ignores one vital factor, the actual process of ontogenetic development, and argue that it is vital to view genetic disorders as proceeding under different neurocomputational constraints, not as demonstrations of static modularity
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent Couette-Poiseuille flow with zero skin friction
No full textThe near-wall scaling of mean velocity U(y) is addressed for the case of zero skin friction on one wall of a fully turbulent channel flow. The present DNS results can be added to the evidence in support of the conjecture that U is proportional to √yw in the region just above the wall at which the mean shear dU/dy = 0
Scaling and intermittency in ocean turbulence: analysis of coastal water optical properties and sea surface temperature (SST)
No full textWe consider here some scaling and intermittency properties of oceanic turbulence, with a general aim of considering the impact of turbulence on the bio-optical dynamics. For that purpose, we tried two different approaches, using in situ and satellite data. For the in situ study we adopted one dimensional and for the satellite two dimensional approaches. Different techniques such as Fourier power spectrum, Empirical mode of decomposition (EMD), Hilbert spectral analysis (HSA) have been used for analyzing the intermittency characteristics of the in situ data. For analyzing the multi-scale properties of the satellite images, we have considered Structure functions (SF) and Fourier power spectrum (1D and 2D). The general objective is to understand the multi-scale oceanic variability using scaling tools developed in the field of intermittent turbulence studies
P.R. Press Briefing and Luncheon, 1971
No full textRepository: Booth Family Center for Special Collections. For more information about this collection please email: [email protected] Barnaby C. Keeney, Executive Director of the Consortium of Universities. Held in Copley Lounge. Introductory remarks are made by Art [Ciervo,Public Relations Director]. The Presidents of four Washington universities (George H. Williams of American University, Clarence Walton of Catholic University, Robert J. Henle, S.J.,of Georgetown University, and Lloyd H. Elliott of George Washington University) then give brief presentations about the highlights of the coming year on their campuses and discuss general problems in higher education. This is followed by a question-and-answer session with the press
Genetic Programming and Traditional Statistics: Towards Interpretation of Ancient Landscape and Social Simulation
No full textThe data sets implemented on the basis of the archaeological investigations conducted at Aksum (Ethiopia) are processed by means of Genetic Programming and the results compared with the ones of the traditional statistics in the perspective of outlining rules to be used with social simulation softwares
The organization of industry in the P.R. China: A new start or resort to old concepts?
No full textThe Chinese have let it be known since the death of Mao Zedong and the purge of the “Gang of Four” that they would in future draw on credits from foreign governments as well as other sources to finance imports of technology. According to western conjectures China’s capital requirements may be between US $ 25 and 50 bn or even a good deal higher. Many observers have taken the view that the Chinese have thereby put all their former development principles behind them. The author of the following article was in the P.R. China about the middle of this year at the invitation of the National Planning Commission. His assessment is that the P.R. China is far from embarking on an entirely new course in its development policy
Experimental And Theoretical Study On The Reactivity Of The R-cn/h2o2 System In The Epoxidation Of Unfunctionalized Olefins
No full textA study on the reactivity of peroxycarboximidic acids in situ generated from acetonitrile, trichloroacetonitrile, benzonitrile, m-chlorobenzonitrile, 3-cyanopyridine, 1-naphthonitrile and 9-anthracenenitrile was performed by semiempirical AM1 method and experimentally in the epoxidation of cyclohexene and R-(+)-limonene. Experimental results showed that the reactivity of Cl3CCN/H2O2 was quite similar to MCPBA in the epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins when a biphasic mixture CH2Cl2/H2O was employed as solvent.1214246Wiberg, K.B., (1953) J.
