...complex was born in controversy. In 1976, when the community objected to the construction of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library in Harvard Square, the state divided the property between the John F. Kennedy School, a memorial park, and a commercial development...
These short term grants limit medical researchers, Amos said. "When an investigator has established a record, why tie them up writing complex grant requests all the time?" he said...
Friends fondly describe Modigliani, who emigrated from Italy in 1938 to escape anti-Jewish persecution, as a man filled with energy and enthusiasm. An indifferent dresser who fits the mold of the absentminded professor, Modigliani is known for grasping complex issues with amazing speed. For relaxation he turns to sailing, skiing and tennis, but his mind is never far from economics. He once developed an idea for a paper during a fierce tennis match against Samuelson...
...attacks as early as age two. By comparing skin cells from victims with those of healthy people, the two scientists traced the problem to an absence or deficiency of LDL receptors, proteins that stud the outer membranes of most cells, particularly those of the liver. Then they decoded the complex minuet that takes place between the receptor and its LDL particle. Says Baltimore: "That was important for understanding how cells communicate with their environment...
...film. The resulting diffraction pattern looks something like strings of beads. Although each type of crystal creates a distinctive design, the patterns are extremely intricate and were once very difficult to interpret. To get beyond the primitive and tedious practice of scrutinizing the film, Karle and Hauptman contrived a complex statistical formula that takes the position and brightness of the separate spots and "reconstructs" them into a three- dimensional picture of the crystal. Straightforward as this sounds, the equations were so daunting that they were ignored by the scientific community for ten years. Says Hauptman: "Crystallographers didn't have...
