The Informant Issue10v2
The Friedman Brain Institute is proud to present the 10th issue of the FBI Informant. The Informant is a triennial newsletter highlighting announcements and events for basic and clinical neuroscience at Mount Sinai. The purpose of riedman rain nstitute the Informant is to keep everyone abreast of all that is going on in and out of the F B I labs and clinics that comprise the Friedman Brain Institute, as well as acknowledge those individuals responsible for its success. In addition to sharing the information, our hope is that the Informant can be used as a tool to inspire, informant congratulate, and support one another. Announcements 5th Annual Neuroscience Retreat While exciting science and the exchange of information form the centerpiece of the Friedman Brain Institute’s Annual Neuroscience Retreat, it is the participation and social interactions of the various departments that make these retreats so effective and enjoyable. This year’s retreat took place on Friday, April 26th, 2013 at the New York Academy of Medicine. The morning session included a April 26, 2013 New York Academy of Medicine 1216 Fifth Avenue Dr. Daniela Schiller Geoffrey W.

Cocaine Use in Ireland: an Exploratory Study
Cocaine Use In Ireland: An Exploratory Study Chapter 3 Cocaine Use In Ireland: An Exploratory Study Paula Mayock 3.1 Introduction In Ireland the heroin epidemic of the 1980s, coupled with the public health crisis of HIV transmission through unsafe injecting practices, resulted in a concentration of attention on 'high-risk' drug use categories, most notably heroin and other intravenous drug use. The major focus in the domains of drug policy, treatment and research centred on the 'threats' posed by enduring patterns of drug use, unsafe methods of drug administration and associated risk behaviours. Heroin, being a dominant drug of misuse among individuals receiving treatment, certainly in the greater Dublin area (O'Brien, Moran, Kelleher & Cahill, 2000), has attracted by far the greatest level of interest and attention. This situation is by no means unique to Ireland. As Egginton & Parker (2000) have remarked, 'so distinctive is the impact of this drug that heroin has its own epidemiology' (Egginton & Parker, 2000: 7). In practice, prevalence studies and other empirical research focus on groups, such as opiate users or injectors, who are of concern at a particular time (Frischer & Taylor, 1999). Put differently, attention to particular forms of drug use is very much a function of the drug- political situation in any given jurisdiction (Cohen, 1996). Despite heroin's prominence, publicity and official concern, the past decade has witnessed increased recognition of the pervasiveness of drug use in society generally. Drug use, traditionally associated with social and economic disadvantage, is increasingly recognised as a widespread social phenomenon and is clearly no longer confined to marginalised communities. -

IDENTIFYING EXOPLANETS with DEEP LEARNING II: TWO NEW SUPER-EARTHS UNCOVERED by a NEURAL NETWORK in K2 DATA Anne Dattilo1,†, Andrew Vanderburg1,?, Christopher J
Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 12/16/11 IDENTIFYING EXOPLANETS WITH DEEP LEARNING II: TWO NEW SUPER-EARTHS UNCOVERED BY A NEURAL NETWORK IN K2 DATA Anne Dattilo1,y, Andrew Vanderburg1,?, Christopher J. Shallue2, Andrew W. Mayo3,z, Perry Berlind4, Allyson Bieryla4, Michael L. Calkins4, Gilbert A. Esquerdo4, Mark E. Everett5, Steve B. Howell6, David W. Latham4, Nicholas J. Scott6, Liang Yu7 ABSTRACT For years, scientists have used data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope to look for and discover thousands of transiting exoplanets. In its extended K2 mission, Kepler observed stars in various regions of sky all across the ecliptic plane, and therefore in different galactic environments. Astronomers want to learn how the population of exoplanets are different in these different environments. However, this requires an automatic and unbiased way to identify the exoplanets in these regions and rule out false positive signals that mimic transiting planet signals. We present a method for classifying these exoplanet signals using deep learning, a class of machine learning algorithms that have become popular in fields ranging from medical science to linguistics. We modified a neural network previously used to identify exoplanets in the Kepler field to be able to identify exoplanets in different K2 campaigns, which range in galactic environments. We train a convolutional neural network, called AstroNet-K2, to predict whether a given possible exoplanet signal is really caused by an exoplanet or a false positive. AstroNet-K2 is highly successful at classifying exoplanets and false positives, with accuracy of 98% on our test set. It is especially efficient at identifying and culling false positives, but for now, still needs human supervision to create a complete and reliable planet candidate sample. -
