Thinking Adaptive: Towards a Behaviours Virtual [PDF]
, 2000 In this paper we name some of the advantages of virtual laboratories; and propose that a Behaviours Virtual Laboratory should be useful for both biologists and AI researchers, offering a new perspective for understanding adaptive behaviour.

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.A novel hypothesis: The disease of sympathetic overdrive (DSO) as a unifying mechanism for comorbidity in the elderly. ABSTRACT The coexistence of multimorbidity and geriatric syndromes is a big character and role target to manage for the clinic works in older age, but related theories still require innovation and exploration.

SOVEREIGN: An Autonomous Neural System for Incrementally Learning Planned Action Sequences to Navigate Towards a Rewarded Goal [PDF]
, 2007 How do reactive and planned behaviors interact in real time? How are sequences of such behaviors released at appropriate times during autonomous navigation to realize valued goals? Controllers for both animals and mobile robots, or animats, need reactive

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Ending Poverty in Our Generation: Save the Children's Vision for a Post-2015 Framework [PDF]
, 2013 The Millennium development Goals -- one of the most resonant and unifying agreements in political history -- reach a turning point in 2015, the deadline for their realisation. We must do everything in our power to achieve them.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smallholder agriculture remains a cornerstone for economic development and poverty reduction in Latin America. Their transition to sustainable agricultural production is critical in the face of the environmental challenges posed by conventional farming practices and is a key pathway to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development ...

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Dopaminergic and Non-Dopaminergic Value Systems in Conditioning and Outcome-Specific Revaluation [PDF]
, 2007 Animals are motivated to choose environmental options that can best satisfy current needs. To explain such choices, this paper introduces the MOTIVATOR (Matching Objects To Internal Values Triggers Option Revaluations) neural model.

Cavity-enhanced optical detection of carbon nanotube Brownian motion [PDF]
, 2012 Optical cavities with small mode volume are well-suited to detect the vibration of sub-wavelength sized objects. Here we employ a fiber-based, high-finesse optical microcavity to detect the Brownian motion of a freely suspended carbon nanotube at room ...

Energy‐Efficient Knapsack Optimization Using Probabilistic Memristor Crossbars
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The knapsack problem, a nondeterministic polynomial‐time (NP)‐hard combinatorial optimization problem, is solved energy‐efficiently. This work presents an algorithm‐hardware co‐design and implementation for practical (non‐ideal) NP‐hard problems with destabilizing self‐feedback (non‐zero diagonal) and non‐binary Hamiltonian representations under analog
