We still need to get better at redirecting our desires away from t...
Dave Kotz, Provost and the Pat and John Rosenwald Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Dartmouth College: "Dartmouth, where 'artificial intelligence' was first envisioned in 1956, is excited to be part of this a...
The problem of reusing BTs in situations where the available actions of an agent increase over time was studied in [50]. An approach where actions are categorized is proposed, in which the leaves of the BT make high level queries to find the action suitable for the situation at hand. This...
In July 2001, an FBI agent in the Phoenix field office sent a memo warning of a coordinated effort by bin Laden to send students to US flight schools and recommended that specific actions be taken to further investigate this lead. The author of the memo stated that its subject was not rel...

As envisioned, c-RGD peptide firstly carried the nanoprobe near the brain tumor neovasculatures, which was beneficial to reduce the unspecific distribution of the nanoprobe in the normal brain tissue. Thereafter, the BBB-permeable peptide ANG facilitated the nanoprobe penetrating BBB via receptor-...
