Recreating an atmosphere

Recreating an environment for clinical discovery.

Introduction The purpose of the first annual Emil J Freireich symposium was to celebrate life, creativity, and stories of medical discovery. Many of the stories were about J Freireich’s own discoveries, and many were about the discoveries he inspired others to make. The importance of these narratives lies not only in the discoveries themselves, but also in what they reveal about the nonlinear m...

Recreating ancestral proteins.

Tracing the history of molecular changes using phylogenetic methods can provide powerful insights into how and why molecules work the way they do. It is now possible to recreate inferred ancestral proteins in the laboratory and study the function of these molecules. This provides a unique opportunity to study the paths and the mechanisms of functional change during molecular evolution. What ins...

Retrieving and Recreating Musical Form

This paper discusses musical form from a cognitive and a computational viewpoint. While several time-windows exist in the brain, we here put emphasis on the superchunks of up to more than 30 seconds lengths. We compare a strategy for auditive analysis based on human cognition with a strategy for automatic analysis based on feature extraction. The feature extraction is based on the musical featu...

Recreating the Posterior Chamber Lens

T he history of IOLs began in 1949 with Sir Harold Ridley’s insertion of an artificial lens into the posterior chamber. Although placing an IOL within the space from which the cataract had been removed seemed (and seems still) a natural, almost obvious choice, ophthalmologists abandoned posterior chamber lens implantation within a few years. I reawakened surgeons’ interest in posterior chamber ...
