Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA)
Published 1995Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) is a catalogue/compendium of inherited disorders, other (single-locus) traits, and associated genes and variants in more than 400 animal species (other than human and mouse ...Dataset -
Invariant integration on classical and quantum Lie supergroups
Published 2001-01-01Invariant integrals on Hopf superalgebras, in particular, the classical and quantum Lie supergroups, are studied. The uniqueness ~up to scalar multiples! of a left integral is proved, and a Z2-graded version of Maschke’s ...Open AccessArticle -
Constructivism for Philosophers (Be it a Remark on Realism)
Published 2003-01-01Bereft of the illusion of an epistemic vantage point external to science, what should be our commitment towards the categories, concepts and terms of that very science? Should we, despaired of the possibility to found these ...Open AccessArticle -
Spherical functions on homogeneous superspaces
Published 2005-01-01Homogeneous superspaces arising from the general linear supergroup are studied within a Hopf algebraic framework. Spherical functions on homogeneous superspaces are introduced, and the structures of the superalgebras of ...Open AccessArticle -
Elemental Representations of Stimuli in Associative Learning
Published 2006-01-01This paper reviews evidence and theories concerning the nature of stimulus representations in Pavlovian conditioning. It focuses on the elemental approach developed in Stimulus Sampling Theory (Atkinson & Estes, 1963; Bush ...Open AccessArticle -
Noncommutative fields and actions of twisted Poincare algebra
Published 2008-01-01Within the context of the twisted Poincaré algebra, there exists no noncommutative analog of the Minkowski space interpreted as the homogeneous space of the Poincaré group quotiented by the Lorentz group. The usual definition ...Open AccessArticle -
Riemannian geometry of noncommutative surfaces
Published 2008-01-01A Riemannian geometry of noncommutative n-dimensional surfaces is developed as a first step toward the construction of a consistent noncommutative gravitational theory. Historically, as well, Riemannian geometry was ...Open AccessArticle -
Equivariant vector bundles on quantum homogeneous spaces
Published 2008-01-01The notion of quantum group equivariant homogeneous vector bundles on quantum homogeneous spaces is introduced. The category of such quantum vector bundles is shown to be exact, and its Grothendieck group is determined. ...Open AccessArticle -
Seeing slow and seeing fast: Two limits on perception
Published 2009-01-01Video cameras have a single temporal limit set by the frame rate. The human visual system has multiple temporal limits set by its various constituent mechanisms. These limits appear to form two groups. A fast group comprises ...Open AccessArticle -
Attentional Changes During Implicit Learning: Signal Validity Protects a Target Stimulus from the Attentional Blink
Published 2009-01-01Participants in two experiments performed two simultaneous tasks: one, a dual-target detection task within a rapid sequence of target and distractor letters; the other, a cued reaction time task requiring participants to ...Open AccessArticle -
Exact solutions of noncommutative vacuum Einstein field equations and plane-fronted gravitational waves
Published 2009-01-01We construct a class of exact solutions of the noncommutative Einstein field equations in the vacuum, which are noncommutative analogues of the plane-fronted gravitational waves in classical gravity.Open AccessArticle -
Power and Responsibility: The Mekong River Commission and Lower Mekong mainstream dams
Published 2009-10-01The revival of plans to build up to 11 hydropower dams on the Lower Mekong mainstream focuses attention on the Mekong River Commission (MRC), an international river basin organisation assigned with the task of ensuring the ...Open AccessOther -
An attention modulated associative network.
Published 2010-01-01We present an elemental model of associative learning that describes interactions between stimulus elements as a process of competitive normalization. Building on the assumptions laid out in Harris (2006), stimuli are ...Open AccessArticle -
The Body as Object and Instrument of Knowledge:Embodied Empiricism in Early Modern Science
Published 2010-01-01It was in 1660s England, according to the received view, in the Royal Society of London, that science acquired the form of empirical enquiry we recognize as our own: an open, collaborative experimental practice, mediated ...Open AccessBook -
The arguments of associations
Published 2010-01-01This chapter considers associative solutions to “non‐linear” discrimination problems, such as negative patterning (A+ and B+ vs AB‐) and the biconditional discrimination (AB+ and CD+ vs AC‐ and BD‐). It is commonly assumed ...Open AccessBook chapter -
Empiricism Without the Senses: How the Instrument Replaced the Eye
Published 2010-01-01On receiving news of Galileo’s observations of the four satellites of Jupiter and the rugged face of the moon through his newly invented perspicillum, Kepler in great excitement exclaimed: Therefore let Galileo take his ...Open AccessBook chapter -
Gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric stars in noncommutative general relativity
Published 2010-01-01Gravitational collapse of a class of spherically symmetric stars is investigated. We quantise the geometries describing the gravitational collapse by a deformation quantisation procedure. This gives rise to oncommutative ...Open AccessArticle -
Baroque Optics and the Disappearance of the Observer: From Kepler’s Optics to Descartes’ Doubt
Published 2010-04-01In the seventeenth century the human observer gradually disappeared from optical treatises. It was a paradoxical process: the naturalization of the eye estranged the mind from its objects. Turned into a material optical ...Open AccessArticle -
The 'absolute existence' of phlogiston: the losing party's point of view.
Published 2011-01-01Long after its alleged demise, phlogiston was still presented, discussed and defended by leading chemists. Even some of the leading proponents of the new chemistry admitted its ‘absolute existence’. We demonstrate that ...Open AccessArticle
