Conservative Groupoids Recognize Only Regular Languages
The notion of recognition of a language by a finite semigroup can be generalized to recognition by finite groupoids, i.e. sets equipped with a binary operation ‘⋅’ which is not…

Comparative Analysis of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Requirements across a Range of Life Sciences Textbooks
(Previously) we showed that embedding the knowledge representation and question-answering abilities in an electronic textbook helped to engage student interest and improve learning. A natural question that arises from this…

Direct Measurement of Lower Thermospheric Neutral Density Using Multifrequency Incoherent Scattering
We demonstrate that multifrequency measurements to achieve diversity in k can allow for direct inference of the composition-weighted ion-neutral collision frequency in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

Effects of Nmda Receptor Antagonism on High Frequency Neuronal Oscillations and Working Memory Performance in Cynomolgus Macaques
Our results suggest that acute administration of a NMDA receptor antagonist disrupts neuronal oscillations and cognitive processing and this may contribute to impaired cognitive performance in macaques.
