Freud, Luria and the Clinical Method

This paper begins with a review of the scientific and technical problems that led Freud to abandonneuroscience and to establish the new discipline of psychoanalysis. That review is followed by aconsideration of some developments that took place in the neurosciences after Freud's death, due to theefforts of the Soviet neurologist, A.R. Luria. These developments seem to reverse the hi...

Escherichia coli physiology in Luria-Bertani broth.

Luria-Bertani broth supports Escherichia coli growth to an optical density at 600 nm (OD(600)) of 7. Surprisingly, however, steady-state growth ceases at an OD(600) of 0.3, when the growth rate slows down and cell mass decreases. Growth stops for lack of a utilizable carbon source. The carbon sources for E. coli in Luria-Bertani broth are catabolizable amino acids, not sugars.

Statistics for the Luria-Delbrück distribution

The Luria-Delbrück distribution is a classical model of mutations in cell kinetics. It is obtained as a limit when the probability of mutation tends to zero and the number of divisions to infinity. It can be interpreted as a compound Poisson distribution (for the number of mutations) of exponential mixtures (for the developing time of mutant clones) of geometric distributions (for the number of...
