Autonomous navigation of distributed spacecraft using intersatellite laser communications
… such as horizon and star sensors (Hicks and Wiesel, 1992) or magnetometers and sun sensors (Psiaki, 1999), however these methods are typically limited to low Earth orbit (LEO) altitudes or other specific orbit cases. Another autonomous navigation method uses intersatellite data, or direct …

Acuity, Luminance and Monocular Deprivation in the Cat.
Hubel and Wiesel (1970) described a "critical period" in the developing visual system of the cat extending from birth through the first three to four months of life based upon the ocular dominance condition of cortical neurons in monocularly deprived (MD) cats. Monocular deprivation during this …

Learning a dictionary of shape-components in visual cortex : comparison with neurons, humans and machines
… extends the hierarchical model of [Hubel and Wiesel, 1959] from primary to extrastriate visual areas. It attempts to explain the first few hundred milliseconds of visual processing and "immediate recognition". One of the key elements in the approach is the learning of a generic dictionary of …

Survivor’s Guilt and the Ethics of Remembering in Isaac Bashevis Singer's The Slave and Cynthia Ozick’s “The Shawl”
… Informed especially by Theodor Adorno and Elie Wiesel, I examine the ethics of fictionalizing the Holocaust. Furthermore, this thesis considers both trauma theory and the psychology of grief to investigate the ways in which the Jewish-American community at large responded to the cultural …

Multi-CubeSat mission planning enabled through parallel computing
… tested against analytical methods developed by Wiesel for in-plane, and Edelbaum and Kechichian for out of plane, and is shown to match or surpass their results. This work further contributes to the field by developing an extended framework that allows the simultaneous integration of multiple …

An invariance-based account of feedforward categorization in a realistic model of the ventral visual pathway
… In essence, they apply the model of Hubel and Wiesel recursively, alternating layers of 'simple' cells, which are tuned to certain local features, and 'complex' cells, which pool the outputs of simple cells within a local region. With recent advances in deep learning, for many tasks in vision …
