The Genius of the 'Original Imitation Game' Test
(Springer, 2020-10-29)Twenty years ago in "Turing's Two Tests for Intelligence" I distinguished two distinct tests to be found in Alan Turing's 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence": one by then very well-known, the other neglected. ... -
Zeami’s Reply to Plato: Mastering the Art of Sarugaku
(Japan Studies Association, 2018-05-31)Mae Smethurst’s work has largely aimed to articulate nō theater in Western terms from their early roots, primarily through Aristotle’s On Tragedy. Her detailed examination of the shared structure of the content of these ... -
Structure-guided optimization of dipeptidyl inhibitors of Norovirus 3CL protease
(American Chemical Society, 2020-09-18)Acute gastroenteritis caused by noroviruses has a major impact on public health worldwide in terms of morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. The disease impacts most severely immunocompromised patients, the elderly, ... -
Comparison of night vision technology for close-quarters combat operations: how field of view impacts live-fire scenarios
(Springer, 2020-10-24)As early as the Vietnam War, the United States Military has employed various forms of night vision goggles (NVGs) to enhance warfighter capability under low light conditions. In recent years, the most common form of NVGs ... -
Supernova neutrino detection in NOvA
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-10-05)The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment uses a pair of large, segmented, liquid-scintillator calorimeters to study neutrino oscillations, using GeV-scale neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. These detectors are also ... -
Almost non-negatively curved 4-manifolds with torus symmetry
(American Mathematical Society, 2020-08-14)We prove that if a closed, smooth, simply-connected 4-manifold with a circle action admits an almost non-negatively curved sequence of invariant Riemannian metrics, then it also admits a non-negatively curved Riemannian ... -
Human rights attitude and civic engagement behavior among university students
(Springer, 2020-06-23)Although civic engagement and human rights are critical values in social work education, few empirical studies have explored the association between civic engagement and human rights exposure and attitudes. This study aims ... -
A council circle at etzanoa? Multi-sensor drone survey at an ancestral Wichita settlement in southeastern Kansas
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-10)This article presents results of a multi-sensor drone survey at an ancestral Wichita archaeological site in southeastern Kansas, originally recorded in the 1930s and believed by some scholars to be the location of historical ... -
Comparing motor competence of sex-and age-matched youth with intellectual disability from Brazil and the United States
(Human Kinetics Publishers Inc., 2020)Youth with intellectual disabilities (IDs) demonstrate below-criteria motor competence (MC) compared with typically developing (TD) youth. Whether differences in MC exist for youth with ID from different countries is ... -
Measurement of neutrino-induced neutral-current coherent $π^0$ production in the NOvA near detector
(American Physical Society, 2020-07-09)The cross section of neutrino-induced neutral-current coherent $\pi^0$ production on a carbon-dominated target is measured in the NOvA near detector. This measurement uses a narrow-band neutrino beam with an average neutrino ... -
Genetic analysis of the molecular regulation of electric fields-guided glia migration
(Nature Research, 2020-10-08)In a developing nervous system, endogenous electric field (EF) influence embryonic growth. We reported the EF-directed migration of both rat Schwann cells (SCs) and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and explored the ... -
Quantum machine learning: Preface
(De Gruyter, 2020-06-08)Imparting intelligence to the machines has always been a challenging thoroughfare. Over the years, several intelligent tools have been invented or proposed to deal with the uncertainties encountered by human beings with ... -
An adaptive multiresolution interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin Method for wave equations in second order form
(Springer, 2020-10-04)In this paper, we propose a class of adaptive multiresolution (also called adaptive sparse grid) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for simulating scalar wave equations in second order form in space. The two key ingredients ... -
More isn’t always better: when metacognitive prompts are misleading
(Springer, 2020-09-29)Accurate metacognitive monitoring improves performance in a variety of naturalistic contexts. However, the laboratory contexts used to study metacognition differ from naturalistic environments in important ways. Specifically, ... -
Quantum machine learning
(De Gruyter, 2020-06-08)Quantum-enhanced machine learning refers to quantum algorithms that solve tasks in machine learning, thereby improving a classical machine learning method. Such algorithms typically require one to encode the given classical ... -
Vagal suppression buffers against the negative effects of psychological inflexibility on parenting behaviors in combat deployed fathers
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-09-16)Objective: Vagal suppression is a parasympathetic physiological indicator of emotion regulation and social engagement behaviors, often measured via heart rate variability. Experiential avoidance reflects psychological ... -
Effect of BMP-2 adherent to resorbable sutures on cartilage repair: A rat model of xyphoid process
(MDPI AG, 2020-08-26)Meniscal tears are often seen in orthopedic practice. The current strategy for meniscal repair has only had limited success with a relatively high incidence of re-operative rate. This study evaluates the therapeutic effects ... -
A Kantian theory of the Sensory Processing Subtype of ASD
(Center for Cognition and Neuroethics, 2019-03)Immanuel Kant’s theory of imagination is a surprisingly fruitful nexus of explanation for the prima facie disparate characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially the sub-spectrum best characterized by the ... -
Adult family adversities and bullying among urban African American adolescents
(Routledge, 2020-09-15)The current study examined how adverse family events (i.e., adult family incarceration, adult family substance use, and adult family mental illness) were associated with adolescent bullying perpetration. More specifically, ... -
Review -- Two different multiple photosynthetic reaction centers using either zinc porphyrinic oligopeptide-fulleropyrrolidine or free-base porphyrinic polypeptide-Li+@C60supramolecular complexes
