Homological Algebra of Mirror Symmetry

by Maxim Kontsevich - in Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians , 1994
"... Mirror Symmetry was discovered several years ago in string theory as a duality between families of 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds (more precisely, complex algebraic manifolds possessing holomorphic volume elements without zeroes). The name comes from the symmetry among Hodge numbers. For dual Ca ..."

"... many conversations over the years, commented on one another's papers, worked together with Lee Shulman developing prototype teacher assessments, and eventually co-authored a paper. I have a thick file of notes he sent me over the years about one thing or another, and draft copies of manuscripts ..."

Gopal Das I see him in the dimly lit Neuroanatomy teaching lab on the second floor of Lily Hall at Purdue, standing behind an overhead projector, his face eerily illuminated by the light from the vents around the projector, describing the connections of brainstem, enwrapping each concept of connecti ..."

unique talent, and deprived many of us of a mentor we had suspected of being immortal. His work, of course, stands as an eternal memorial to his genius, insight, and his painstakingly systematic and straightforward approach to science. In his twenty years on the faculty of the Department of Biological

Processing fluency and aesthetic pleasure: Is beauty in the perceiver’s processing experience?

by Rolf Reber, Norbert Schwarz, Piotr Winkielman - PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY REVIEW , 2004
"... We propose that aesthetic pleasure is a funnction of the perceiver s processing dynam-ics: The more fluently perceivers can process an object, the more positive their aes-thetic response. We review variables known to influence aesthetic judgments, such as figural goodness, figure-ground contrast, st ..."

and has been given a wide variety of answers (Feagin, 1995; Tatarkiewicz, 1970). However, one can broadly distinguish three main positions. Many theorists, dating back at least to Plato, saw beauty as a property of an object that produces a plea-surable experience in any suitable perceiver (Tatar-

Wearable Computing and the Remembrance Agent

by I B Crabtree, B J Rhodes , 1998

An Algorithmic Proof Theory for Hypergeometric (ordinary and ``$q$'') Multisum/integral Identities

by Herbert S. Wilf, Doron Zeilberger , 1991
"... this paper we show that these fast algorithms can be extended to the much larger class of multisum terminating hypergeometric (or equivalently, binomial coefficient) identities, to constant term identities of Dyson-Macdonald type, to Mehta-Dyson type integrals, and more generally, to identities inv ..."

The technical aspects of our algorithms, as well as their implementation in Maple, will be described in a forthcoming paper. It is possible, and sometimes preferable, to enjoy a magic show without understanding how

In Remembrance of Richard R Brinker

by unknown authors , 1993
"... lung infection. He was 44 years of age. Rick's death has left his family and friends struggling to understand and accept this very personal loss. Losing a friend is never easy because such relation-ships have required time, effort, and genuine caring about the friend's well-being. When tha ..."

that friend is gone, a permanent void remains. For many of us, Rick's death has left such a void. Beyond the personal loss Rick's friends and colleagues are experiencing, the field of early intervention/early childhood special education has lost a major contributor. This remembrance is dedi

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,

by Wolfram Schultz - Annu. Rev. Psychol. , 2006
"... â–  Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

Humans use a wide range of nonvegetative rewards, such as money, challenge, acclaim, visual and acoustic beauty, power, security, and many others, but these are not considered as this review considers neural mechanisms in animals.

Designing Calm Technology

It communicates both light and heavy network traffic. Its output is so beautifully integrated with human information processing that one doe ..."
