Loeïz Lagadec, a second year MBA student who took Segel’s seminar, said that his seminar did not follow the business school’s typical method of teaching cases, allowing them to pursue an unusual topic of study...
...encapsulating” contaminated areas, essentially burying affected soil, Gray said. This option not only costs less but also preserves the site’s aesthetic appeal, as the removal of soil would lead to the uprooting of vegetation. Gray added that the “encapsulating” method is environmentally safe, as long as the land is held in perpetuity as green space...
...Harvard researchers applied an innovative Bayesian modeling method to gene sequences from both untreated HIV patients and those treated with drugs. Having ran a comprehensive computer search for over a month, the researchers looked for patterns of mutation that were more prevalent among the treated patients—the more common the mutation, the greater the probability of it being responsible for the drug resistance, according to Jun Liu, a professor of statistics at the Harvard School of Public Health and one of the authors of the paper...
Published online Thursday in the journal Science Express, the paper describes a new algorithm that can identify mutations with a much higher resolution. The method, called "Composite of Multiple Signals", assigns a score to every mutation in a region and then ranks the probability of each mutation influencing the selection of particular traits...
Currently, analysis with CMS has been limited to human genes, but judging from its potential usefulness, Harvard Biology Professor Daniel L. Hartl said he predicts the new method may soon be used to analyze other organisms’ genomes as well...
