To determine the extent of cell-autonomous effects of mhtt (mutant huntingtin) protein on vulnerability to excitotoxic insult in MSNs in vivo, we measured the number of degenerating neurons in response to intrastriatal injection of QA (quinolinic acid) in presymptomatic and symptomatic transgenic (D9-N171-98Q, asso known as DE5) mice that express mhtt in MSNs but not in cortex.
Sebastian Thrun, the former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory who now heads the Google self-driving car project, is evangelical about the extent to which a future of autonomous vehicles will prevent countless deaths and injuries from collisions caused by human error.
Take explainability (the extent to which the decisions of autonomous systems can be understood by relevant humans): if regulatory measures make this a requirement, more funding will go to developing transparent systems, while techniques that are powerful but opaque may be deprioritized.
We created a binary variable for female head of household to capture the extent of the respondent's autonomous decision-making.
The first is the extent of what I call the autonomous commons of the intelligence in the system.
As the illusory nature of autonomous selfhood becomes evident, and the full extent of the interdependence of selves becomes undeniable, our sense of selfhood will shift outward, from the limited identifications of the past to an amalgamation of these traditional facets of selfhood -- the superself.
However, to the extent that the ground of epistemic privilege lies in the self-knowledge of autonomous agents, only those who participate in that agency can have first-personal agent knowledge.
It robs a country of many tools of autonomous economic policy: monetary policy, of course, but to a great extent fiscal policy as well, since monetary policy is no longer available to cushion expansionary or contractionary fiscal shocks.
