Franklin William Stahl studied DNA replication, bacteriophages, and genetic recombination in the US during the mid-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. With his colleague Matthew Meselson, Stahl performed an experiment called the Meselson-Stahl experiment, which provided evidence for a process called semi-conservative DNA replication. Semi-conservative replication is a process in which e...

Since the first human electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in 1929 by Hans Berger, enormous advances have been made in EEG recording technology and data analysis [1, 2]. The recording period was extended and long-term EEG monitoring became technically feasible when computer applications were introduced in the 1970s and digital EEG recording systems established. However, the use of long-term ...

Already in his first report on the discovery of the human EEG in 1929, Berger showed great interest in further elucidating the functional roles of the alpha and beta waves for normal mental activities. Meanwhile, most cognitive processes have been linked to at least one of the traditional frequency bands in the delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma range. Although the existing wealth of high-qua...

AMBER force fields are among the most commonly used in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins. Unfortunately, they lack a specific set of lipid parameters, thus limiting its use in membrane protein simulations. In order to overcome this limitation we assessed whether the widely used united-atom lipid parameters described by Berger and co-workers could be used in conjunction with AMBER ...

Weisberg for guidance during this project. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Erin MacDonald and Joe Lyons for invaluable assistance in coding data. All data are available by request. 2 All duties on this paper were shared equally by the authors. Name order is presented alphabetically.

I am very grateful for the award you have bestowed on me. To understand your generosity I have to assume that you are honoring the leadership of three innovative groups that I headed in the last 47 years: at Cornell, IBM, and now at Johns Hopkins. You know my co-workers in the last two teams. The Cornell group was in Information Theory and included Toby Berger, Terrence Fine, and Neil J. A. Slo...

Implementation of checkers on the basis of threshold functions is problematic due to low stability of component threshold schemes. For increasing the implementability, the paper investigates two methods of improving stability of threshold based checkers. One of the methods is majorization of the threshold schemes. The second method is so-called calibration of the mentioned schemes. Both of the ...
