An eigenvector approach to paired companions Yujin Shen 1987 A fractional design in paired comparisons is developed based on the eigenvector of the comparison matrices. Mathematical proof of this fractional design is given in Theorems 1 and 2 of Chapter 2. A concrete example from the wealth of nations is chosen to compare the results of the fractional design with the results of the complete des...

E. B. Wilson medalist, 1987: Marilyn Gist Farquhar

Marilyn Gist Farquhar is honored today for her broad range of studies extending over three decades that reveal the dynamics of cellular function. Her contributions to basic cell biology can be classified into four major areas: delineation of structure and function of the renal glomerular basement membrane and related studies dealing with the nature of cellular contacts in epithelia; examination...

E . B . Wilson Lecture : The Cell as Molecular Machine Edwin

In 1955, I began graduate studies at the University of Chicago in the Committee on Biophysics. The program allowed considerable freedom in choosing a research project. When I had made up my mind, I went to see Dr. William Bloom, the distinguished histologist, and told him that I wanted to work on the mechanism of mitosis. He handed me his copy of Wilson’s (1925) book, The Cell in Development an...
