Johann Heinrich Lambert: An Admirable Applied Statistician

Johann Heinrich Lambert is best known for his work in physics. The law of Bouguer-Lambert-Beer on the absorbtion of light may be his most famous achievement. He is also well known in mathematics, for example for his proof of π and e being irrational numbers, for his work on non-additive probabilities and for his contribution to non-Euclidean geometry. He worked on numerous problems of natural s...

In vivo delivery of antisense MORF oligomer by MORF/carrier streptavidin nanoparticles.

Tumor targeting by oligomers is largely limited by the pharmacokinetics and cell-membrane transport obstacles. In this article, we describe the use of a delivery nanoparticle, in which streptavidin served as a convenient bridge between a biotinylated oligomer and a biotinylated cell-membrane-penetrating peptide, to improve the delivery of an antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino (MORF) oligom...

his eighties. In 1835, he married and settled in Paris as a teacher at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, while conducting agricultural experiments with his brother-in-law on an estate in the Alsace, which was sustained economically by revenues from oil-bearing sands. Although McCosh's account of the collaboration with Dumas and the fat controversy with Liebig does not replace that given by...
