My Deeply-remembered Thesis

My Thesis Notes

We can now talk about algorithm efficiency. Typical computational resources of interest are time and space, which correspond to the number of instructions executed or the amount of memory used by the algorithm when it is implemented on some standard type of computer, e.g., a deterministic Turing machine (for detailed descriptions of the various kinds of Turing machines, see [2, 3, 4]). For some...

Making Sense of My Thesis: Master’s Level Thesis Writing as Constellation of Joint Activities

Vernon Remembered

Editor's Note: The world of neuroscience lost one of its pioneers when Vernon B. Mountcastle, M.D., died January 11 in Baltimore at age 96. Often referred to as " the father of neuroscience, " Mountcastle defied early skeptics by showing how cylinders of neurons, dedicated to specific tasks, work together. This month's Cerebrum features remembrances from two colleagues influenced by Mountcastle...

Coley’s Lessons Remembered

The following four observations point in the same direction, namely that there is an unleveraged potential for stimulating the innate immune system against cancer: (1) experimental treatments with bacterial extracts more than 100 years ago by Coley and contemporaries, (2) a positive correlation between spontaneous regressions and febrile infection, (3) epidemiological data suggesting an inverse...
