Eleventh-Month Reflections

Eleventh Bowditch Lecture

A prime objective of neurophysiology is to learn how cells in the nervous system function during the everyday and moment-to-moment activities of an organism. This amounts to learning how the brain is constructed and how the parts function when the organism perceives, thinks or acts. An equally important though perhaps less obvious objective is to understand how the structure and function of the...

Eleventh Quarterly Progress Report

Developmental Biology. Eleventh Edition

With high-throughput sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics no longer in their “infancy” as described in the preface by author T.A. Brown, Genomes 4 offers an expansive review on a broad spectrum of topics in genetics ranging from the central dogma of genes coding for proteins, to the fine technical details of genome mapping. This edition retains the four-part organization from the previou...

Substance Profiles Report on Carcinogens, Eleventh Edition

Wood dust is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans. An association between wood dust exposure and cancer of the nasal cavity has been observed in many case reports, cohort studies, and case-control studies that specifically addressed nasal cancer. Strong and consistent associations with cancer of the nasal cavities and paranasal si...

Discrete Math , Eleventh Problem Set ( July 14 )

Recall that the “coefficient reduction” process reduces each μij to |μij | ≤ 1/2 without affecting the orthogonalized sequence and therefore without affecting the potential function. Once “coefficient reduction” has been performed, we check the second property. If there is some i with ‖bi+1‖ < 1 2‖b ∗ i ‖, we simply swap these two elements. This will change the orthogonalized vectors bi and b ∗...
