Lawrence Katz (1956–2005)

Lawrence C. Katz died of melanoma on November 26, 2005, at the age of 48. He was amongst the most creative and influential neuroscientists of his time. His contributions were both scientific and personal, providing as much to the development of people as to scientific discovery. These affections were always inextricably intertwined, his love of scientific beauty and discovery, and his caring fo...

In Appreciation of Lawrence C. Katz, 1956–2005

Larry Katz, the James B. Duke Professor of Neurobiology at Duke University and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, died on November 25, 2005 from melanoma. He was a pioneer in the analysis of visual system development and a new leader in functional analysis of the olfactory system. Larry’s trademark was the brilliant technological innovation that suddenly made impossible exp...

Paul Katz

Paul S. Katz is a neurophysiologist known for his studies of neuromodulatory synapses in invertebrate neural circuits. Katz’s interest in neurobiology began as an undergraduate at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois. He did his graduate work at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he identified and studied serotonergic neurons in the stomatogastric ganglion of crabs. He was ...

Claim 1 ZPP = RP ∩ coRP and hence ZPP ⊆ BPP. Claim 2 ZPP consists of languages L for which there exists a machine M running in expected polynomial time and for which: Pr[M(x) = χL(x)] = 1. (A machine runs in expected polynomial time if there exists a polynomial p such that for all x, the expected running time of M(x) is at most p(|x|).) Summarizing what we have so far: P ⊆ ZPP ⊆ RP ⊆ BPP. Howev...
