Learning and development in neural networks: The importance of starting small
- Cognition
, 1993
"... It is a striking fact that in humans the greatest learnmg occurs precisely at that point in time- childhood- when the most dramatic maturational changes also occur. This report describes possible synergistic interactions between maturational change and the ability to learn a complex domain (language ..."

Changes in the Demand for Skilled Labor within U.S. Manufacturing Industries: Evidence from the Annual Survey of Manufacturing
- JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 1994
"... This paper investigates the shift in demand away from unskilled and toward skilled labor in U. S. manufacturing over the 1980s. Production labor-saving technological change is the chief explanation for this shift. That conclusion is based on three facts: (1) the shift is due mostly to increased use ..."

On the Private Provision of Public Goods
- Journal of Public Economics
, 1986
"... We consider a general model of the non-cooperative provision of a public good. Under very weak assumptions there will always exist a unique Nash equilibrium in our model. A small redistribution of wealth among the contributing consumers will not change the equilibrium amount of the public good. Howe ..."

The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks
- JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC THEORY 106, 265–295
, 2002
"... We examine the dynamic formation and stochastic evolution of networks connecting individuals. The payoff to an individual from an economic or social activity depends on the network of connections among individuals. Over time individuals form and sever links connecting themselves to other individuals ..."

individuals based on the improvement that the resulting network offers them relative to the current network. In addition to intended changes in the network there is a small probability of unintended changes or errors. Predictions can be made regarding the likelihood that the stochastic process will lead
Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems
- Proceedings of the IEEE
, 2007
"... Summary. This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An ove ..."

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: A developmental taxonomy
- PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW
, 1993
"... A dual taxonomy is presented to reconcile 2 incongruous facts about antisocial behavior: (a) It shows impressive continuity over age, but (b) its prevalence changes dramatically over age, increasing almost 10-fold temporarily during adolescence. This article suggests that delinquency conceals 2 dist ..."

Fine-grained Mobility in the Emerald System
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1988
"... Emerald is an object-based language and system designed for the construction of distributed programs. An explicit goal of Emerald is support for object mobility; objects in Emerald can freely move within the system to take advantage of distribution and dynamically changing environments. We say that ..."

Usability Analysis of Visual Programming Environments: a `cognitive dimensions' framework
- JOURNAL OF VISUAL LANGUAGES AND COMPUTING
, 1996
"... The cognitive dimensions framework is a broad-brush evaluation technique for interactive devices and for non-interactive notations. It sets out a small vocabulary of terms designed to capture the cognitively-relevant aspects of structure, and shows how they can be traded off against each other. T ..."

Brain magnetic resonance imaging with contrast dependent on blood oxygenation.
- Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA
, 1990
"... ABSTRACT Paramagnetic deoxyhemoglobin in venous blood is a naturally occurring contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By accentuating the effects of this agent through the use of gradient-echo techniques in high fields, we demonstrate in vivo images of brain microvasculature with imag ..."

This blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast follows blood oxygen changes induced by anesthetics, by insulininduced hypoglycemia, and by inhaled gas mixtures that alter metabolic demand or blood flow. The results suggest that BOLD contrast can
The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm: a critique of the adaptationist programme.
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B, Biological Sciences
, 1979
"... An adaptationist programme has dominated evolutionary thought in England and the United States during the past 40 years. It is based on faith in the power of natural selection as an optimizing agent. It proceeds by breaking an organism into unitary 'traits' and proposing an adaptive story ..."
