A Brief History of ALS

In a particularly poignant scene in the movie The Theory of Everything, a 21-year-old Stephen Hawking, full of excitement toward unlocking the secrets of the universe, learns of his debilitating diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The year is 1963. He asks his doctor whether his brain will still be able to function in a landscape where the neurons controlling every aspect of his m...

Association of Candidate Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Related to Candidate Genes in Patients With Schizophrenia

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic heterogenic neurodevelopment disorder. Many genes interfere in the development of SCZ. All four genes, NrCAM, PRODH, ANK3, and ANKK1, which were evaluated in this study, were previously reported to be associated with Schizophrenia. The NrCAM contributes to creating cognitive deficiencies through the CAM’s signaling pathway. PRODH plays a vital role in cr...

Selection and Characterization of Interesting Grism Spectra

Observations with the ACS Wide Field Camera and G800L grism can produce thousands of spectra within a single WFC field producing a potentially rich treasure trove of information. However, the data are complicated to deal with. Here we describe algorithms to find and characterize spectra of emission line galaxies and supernovae using tools we have developed in conjunction with off the shelf soft...
