Michael Young was born in Miami, Florida. As an undergraduate at The University of Texas at Austin, he joined Burke Judd’s group for a summer of research. This was his introduction to Drosophila and genetics, and it stretched into a doctorate. His postdoctoral work was in the Department of Biochemistry at the Stanford School of Medicine where he began to study transposable elements. He was appo...

The author presents a framework that considers public health and social issue behaviors and is based on self-interest, exchange, competition, free choice, and externalities. Targets that are prone, resistant, or unable to respond to the manager's goal behave on the basis of their motivation, opportunity, and ability and on a manager's use of the strategies and tactics inherent in education, mar...

Looking back over my career, I ... am hopeful, based on the progress achieved so far, that molecular sieve films will become a widespread energy-efficient separation technology. I am waiting for the day when someone will discover ... the “aeik nhton” (perpetual motion machine). The biggest challenge facing scientists is ... to ensure the peaceful use of their discoveries. My first experiment wa...

beating against the vessel walls. Lancisi includes dilatation and hypertrophy of the heart in his work, and here some of his comments have the same sophistication that one might expect of a modern pathologist describing the detailed post-mortem findings of a case of heart failure. The history of medicine is a complex discipline, but one of its most fascinating aspects is discovering for oneself...

Forgive me, but your publication list looks a bit chaotic. Your lab has worked on sensory physiology, muscle biomechanics, aerodynamics and behavior. Is this a lack of focus or a grand plan? Perhaps a little of both. In graduate school, I was trained as a sensory physiologist, studying the response properties of tiny mechanoreceptors on fly wings. At the time, there was much excitement about th...

The fibrinolytic enzyme from southern copperhead snake venom, fibrolase, contains 1 mole of zinc per mole of protein, belongs to the major family of metalloproteinases known as the metzincins, and has been shown to degrade fibrin clots in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this study was to develop a 3-dimensional model of fibrolase to investigate the geometry of conserved and variable sequences...

Book comes with the new information and lesson every time you read it. By reading the content of this book, even few, you can gain what makes you feel satisfied. Yeah, the presentation of the knowledge by reading it may be so small, but the impact will be so great. You can take it more times to know more about this book. When you have completed content of michael balint, you can really realize ...

The first topic I would like to explore is probabilistic reasoning with Bayesian nets. I see that reasoning under situations of uncertainty is a very important area of AI, and it is apparent that these techniques are the standard approach for effectively modeling this uncertainty. I am particularly interested in learning how to model complex relationships between variables in spite of redundant...

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Michael Nitabach spent his childhood growing up in northern New Jersey and attending the Pingry School. Nitabach has lived in New York City since 1990, when he entered the PhD program in the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. He received his scientific training at the University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ma...
