NeuroTribes : The legacy of autism and how to think smarter about people who think differently / by Silberman, Steve, author 656044, Allen & Unwin (Online service) 656043

“…The perpetrators in Silberman’s telling are scientists, political leaders, and clinicians whose fixation on their interpretation of “normal” led to acts of deep cruelty and inhumanity against autistic people, deeds that span the spectrum from superficial to sadistic. The narrative arc is roughly chronological, stretching across time and highlighting some of the Big Non-autistic Names in autism’s long, strange and often terrible trip: Hans Asperger, Leo Kanner, Bruno Bettelheim, Bernard Rimland, Ole Ivar Lovaas, Lorna Wing. …”

Towards a Prime Factorization of Proteins by Radev, Simeon

“…This is particularly the case in the richly complex field of protein analysis, whereby unique and novel insights into the structural organization of proteins can help illuminate their functional space, and in particular lead toward a factorization of the structural space into a set of motif building blocks, which completely span this universe. This thesis creates a new inference interface for performing such analysis, by leveraging the sequential learning process of a neural autoencoder to construct a decomposition of proteins as a hierarchical sequence of embedded representation vectors. …”

Survival of mammoths (Mammuthus sp.) into the Late Pleistocene in Southwestern British Columbia (Vancouver Island), Canada by Termes, L, Keddie, G, Hebda, R, Trask, P, Arbour, V, Speller, C, Paskulin, L, Ramsey, C, Richards, MR

“…We undertook radiocarbon dating on all specimens and were able to obtain dates (due to preservation) on 16 of these remains, including re-dating a previously dated mammoth using newer radiocarbon extraction methods. The mammoth dates span a wide range, from >47,500 to 18,000 radiocarbon years BP (uncalibrated). …”

The Viking Great Army north of the Tyne: A Viking camp in Northumberland? by Kershaw, J, Jarman, C, Weber, H, Horton, M

“…We argue that the site was strategically situated and long-lived, with evidence for occupation spanning the Roman to later medieval periods. We note, in particular, indications of high-status early medieval activity, which stand out in a Northumbrian context. …”

On the higher-order edge toughness of a graph by Chen, C.C., Koh, K.M., Peng, Y.H.

“…Besides giving the of the cth-order edge toughness τc(G) of a graph G, we prove that 'τc(G)≥k if and only if G has k edge-disjoint spanning forests with exactly c components'. We also study the 'balancity' of a graph G of order p and size q, which is defined as the smallest positive integer c such that τc(G) = p/(p-c). © 1993.…”
