Mathematics & Molecular Medicine by Dr. Bob Palais
Mathematics is becoming increasingly useful in modern molecular medicine. We will present examples in which math was used to develop a rapid and economical test for organ transplant compatibility; to identify a broken genetic pathway that could be treated to suppress lymphoma tumor growth; and to detect, identify and quantify pathogens or genes associated with disease. These collaborations also lead to novel mathematical problems, and we will show that they can often be solved using methods from the undergraduate curriculum!

Medical Philology in the "Second Rome": Ancient Learning & Attack on "Traditional Chinese Medicine"
The 2011 Edwin O. Reischauer Lectures Undoing/Redoing Modern Sino-Japanese Cultural and Intellectual History, Benjamin A. Elman, Princeton University From Harvard University's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies watch Elman reintegrate the history of "traditional Chinese medicine" with other themes associated with the intellectual history of classical learning in East Asia from 1600 to 1800 mentioned in the second lecture. This was a time when classical learning enabled rising social statuses for the classically literate. Normally these fields are studied separately as "Confucianism" (儒學) or "medicine" (醫學), with little effort to integrate them thematically in light of the history of ideas or according to the cultural geography of classical learning in East Asia. Doctors, mathematicians, and philologists shared the same classical texts known in East Asia as the Confucian "classics," mathematical "classics," and medical "classics." Physicians and mathematicians throughout East Asia were as classically literate as Mandarin scholar-officials who passed civil examinations. In the late eighteenth century, in particular, Japanese scholars and physicians interested in Chinese classical studies adapted Chinese philological research techniques of paleography, etymology, and phonology. Why did newly emerging Japanese elites prioritize classical Chinese as a language of learning and focus on Chinese medical texts for medical studies? Why did "medical philology" in Japan produce <b>...</b>

Thesis 9 part 1
55theses.com 9. The forces of natural selection weaken with adult age in species that have distinguishable adults and no fissile reproduction. We now face the prospect of developing a 21st Century biology based on formal, mathematical, and computational tools. It is from this 21st Century biology that a new medicine for addressing our chronic health ailments will arise, those health ailments that are lumped together in medicine's wastebasket called aging. So, which formal, mathematical, and computational tools should we start with? Many of the key applications of 20th Century physics grow out of its key equations. Atomic power and atomic bombs both grew out of Einstein's result E = mc2 . Television arises from the mathematics of the photoelectric effect, the result for which Einstein received the Nobel Prize. And so on. Are there mathematical results of comparable significance for 21st Century biology and medicine? Yes, there are. The first 8 of the 55 derive both directly and indirectly from basic quantitative results from evolutionary genetics. With Thesis 9, however, we come to the most important equations of all for the new medicine, those of Hamilton's (1966) Forces of Natural Selection.

The Mathematics Of Medical Imaging: A Beginners Guide
xxsurl.com The Mathematics Of Medical Imaging: A Beginners Guide The Mathematics of Medical Imaging: A Beginners Guide This text explores medical imaging, one of the most significant areas of recent mathematical applications, in a concise manner accessible to undergraduate students. The author emphasizes the mathematical aspects of medical imaging, including not only the theoretical background, but also the role of approximation methods and the computer implementation of the inversion algorithms. In twenty-first century health care, CAT scans, ultrasounds, and MRIs are commonplace. Significant computational advances, along with the development, design, and improvement of the machines themselves, can only occur in conjunction with a proper understanding of the mathematics. Some topics covered include x-rays, the Radon Transform, back projection, the Fourier Transform, filters and convolution, and discrete image reconstruction. This book is inherently interdisciplinary in nature, and therefore is appropriate for students of engineering, physics, and computer science, in addition to mathematics. A working knowledge of multivariable calculus, as well some basic knowledge of differential equations and basic linear algebra and matrix methods, are mathematical prerequisites.

Road Back to the Frozen Four (69 minutes)
History
[edit]Partridge and his academy
The university was founded in 1819 at Norwich by military educator and former superintendent of West Point, Captain Alden B. Partridge. Captain Partridge believed in the "American System of Education," a traditional liberal arts curriculum with instruction in civil engineering and military science. After leaving West Point because of congressional disapproval of his system, he returned to his native state of Vermont to create the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy. Captain Partridge, in founding his academy, rebelled against the reforms of Sylvanus Thayer to prevent the rise of what he saw as the greatest threat to the security of the young republic: a professional officer class. He believed that a well-trained militia was an urgent necessity and developed the American system around that idea. His academy became the inspiration for a number of military colleges throughout the nation, including both the Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel, and later the land grant colleges created through the Morrill Act of 1862.[4]
Partridge's educational beliefs were considered radical at the time, and this led to his conflicting views with the federal government while he was the superintendent of West Point. Upon creation of his own school, he immediately incorporated classes of agriculture and modern languages in addition to the sciences, liberal arts, and various military subjects. Field exercises, for which Partridge borrowed cannon and muskets from the federal and state governments, supplemented classroom instruction and added an element of realism to the college’s program of well-rounded military education.
Partridge founded six other military institutions during his quest to reform the fledgling United States military. They were the Virginia Literary, Scientific and Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia (1839–1846), Pennsylvania Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy at Bristol, Pennsylvania (1842–1845), Pennsylvania Military Institute at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (1845–1848), Wilmington Literary, Scientific and Military Academy at Wilmington, Delaware (1846–1848), the Scientific and Military Collegiate Institute at Reading, Pennsylvania (1850–1854), Gymnasium and Military Institute at Pembroke, New Hampshire (1850–1853) and the National Scientific and Military Academy at Brandywine Springs, Delaware (1853).[5]
[edit]Fire and hardship: Norwich in the 19th century
In 1825 the academy moved to Middletown, Connecticut, to provide better naval training to the school's growing corps of cadets. In 1829, the state of Connecticut declined to grant Captain Partridge a charter and he moved the school back to Norwich (the Middletown campus became Wesleyan University in 1831). Beginning in 1826, the college offered the first program of courses in civil engineering in the US. In 1834 Vermont granted a charter and recognized the institution as Norwich University. During the 1856 academic year, the first chapter of the Theta Chi Fraternity was founded by cadets Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase. With the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, Norwich cadets served as instructors of the state militias throughout the Northeast and the entire class of 1862 enlisted upon its graduation. Norwich turned out hundreds of officers and soldiers who served with the federal armies in the American Civil War, including four recipients of the Medal of Honor. One graduate led a corps, seven more headed divisions, 21 commanded brigades, 38 led regiments, and various alumni served in 131 different regimental organizations. In addition, these men were eyewitnesses to some of the war's most dramatic events, including the bloodiest day of the conflict at Antietam, the attack up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg, and the repulse of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. Seven hundred and fifty Norwich men served in the Civil War, of whom sixty fought for the Confederacy.[6] Because of the university's participation in the struggle, the number of students dwindled to seven in the class of 1864 alone.
The Confederate raid on St. Albans, Vermont precipitated fear that Newport, Vermont was an imminent target. The corps quickly boarded an express train for Newport, the same day, October 19, 1864, to the great relief of the inhabitants.
After a catastrophic fire in 1866 which devastated the entire campus, the town of Northfield welcomed the struggling school. The Civil War, the fire, and the uncertainty regarding the continuation of the University seriously lowered the attendance, and the school opened in the fall of 1866 with only 19 students. The 1870s and 1880s saw many financially turbulent times for the institution and the renaming of the school to Lewis College in 1880. In 1881 the student body was reduced to only a dozen men. Later, by 1884, the Vermont Legislature had the name of the school changed back to Norwich. In 1898 the university was designated as the Military

Moses Atwood
Moses Atwood is a performer.
He sits in the chair with his lap steel and bounces from after-the-snow-falls quiet to middle-of-the-blizzard roars. He chats and rambles on stage. He's gregarious, open. He plays a soft guitar and contrasts that with a powerful tenor.
But he's not Moses Atwood.
Moses Atwood is dead and buried in Georgetown, Massachusetts. He was, in the 1880s, a household name as a maker of patent medicines. You could buy "Moses Atwood's Jaundice Bitters" all over the eastern seaboard.
If a patent medicine (like Simpson & Son's Revitalizing Tonic) was pushed as "bitters," that usually meant it was little more than cheap hooch mixed with bitters to avoid the alcohol tax.
Atwood's bitters were taken to the Supreme Court over trademark infringement. Atwood released his recipe (booze and bitters) to a number of different firms. "Nathan Wood's Jaundice Bitters" was sold in Portland, Maine and is mentioned in the Supreme Court case. In the end, the plaintiff lost as the recipe had been legitimately sold, or something.
Check out the Supreme Court Case in original, olde timey print or read about Moses Atwood's Jaundice Bitters for free on Google Books.
Atwood was also among the nation's first photographers, documenting his hometown of Georgetown, MA on daguerrotype.
Who, then, is our Moses Atwood? I've been listening to him for years and was shocked when I heard his real name. I'm not sure why, exactly. I'd always assumed that Moses was a stage name, but I'd never guessed Atwood would've been.
So when I heard his voicemail say, "You've reached Matthew Chase, leave me a message. And if you're looking for Moses Atwood leave me a message. And if you're confused... don't be," I was a little surprised.
And then he told me about the patent medicines and whatnot and it all made sense, I suppose. His music is temporally dissonant. His simple, direct lyrics and fine plucking and strumming harken to some Antebellum plantation. It's a good backdrop for a man in a white suit with a straw hat and red suspenders hawking panaceas for whatever it may be that ails you.
Also, please raise your hand if you think Moses' next album should be called "Jaundice Bitters."
So it makes sense, I suppose, that Mr. Chase took that name. And it makes sense that he keeps flocking South - painful though it may be.
Moses just spent our short winter here in Maine. He is heading back down South, Asheville way, to study... of all things... the psychology of performance. Which also makes sense. He has taken on a whole new persona. In some places it has replaced his actual personality. Many do not know he is Matthew Chase. For years, I knew of him only as Moses Atwood. I was introduced to him that way, in fact. He answers to it.
So it fits, then, that he's going back to school to look at performance and psychology and to see where those fit together.
Shooting Moses was an interesting experience all around. He is the first artist we've shot who didn't have a specific location to shoot. We invited him over to the lofty Dog and Pony Studios on Marshall Street and set him up by the window in our attic.
Also worthy of note: I think we spent more time chatting before the shoot with Moses than with any other artist. By an order of magnitude. Generally, our shoots involve a little chit-chat while we set up. Moses showed up, though, and we all had coffee and water and talked about the downfall of Detroit reflecting the downfall of America.
It goes like this: Moses, or Matthew, I'm not really sure which, had seen a program on PBS called "Blueprints of a Nation." In which, they profile the rise and fall of Detroit. How abundant resources near a large source of water led to a quick build up. How Detroit was a magnet for rails which led to an advanced rail system in the city. How the rail system led to a more business friendly environment, allowed for the building of a highway to cut through the thick inner city. How the highway allowed people to pass through Detroit and how Detroit bled out through the highway and the cars it built with all its resources.
And how America is modeled after Detroit.
That led to, of course, a conversation about zombies and what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse.
Then we got to shooting. He talked about listening to a lot of Randy Newman lately. Moses is intrigued by how easily and readily Newman writes songs about places. Moses wants to do a song about Detroit.
He borrowed a guitar he never used, favoring the infinite tones of his steely dobro. He apologized for his nasal cold but it adds a certain roughness to his voice. It's a roughness that suits his music. A roughness of campfires and fighting. He sings about a place here, about California, Manifest Destiny. About going West - Moses always sings about somewhere else and Matthew is always drawn South.
Chase talks about living various places around the country. Phoenix and Asheville, mostly. Phoenix is miserable, apparently. Hard packed heat sta

Genome complexity and medicine: illness prediction gets complicated
Conference by Fyodor Kondrashov, ICREA Research Professor, leader of the laboratory Evolutionary Genomics, within the Bioinformatics & Genomics research programme, at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, in Barcelona, Spain. In this talk he discusses the work that his lab does and the role of bioinformatics in the study of disease-causing mutations in humans. The study of the genome through sequencing produces an enormous quantity of data. This data is analysed by bioinformatics researchers dedicated to the management and analysis of all of the information obtained when a genome is sequenced via, for example, mathematical, biological, computer and statistical tools. Personalised medicine is based on the premise that if a disease is caused by a mutation of a patient's genome, this mutation will always produce the same effect in another person: the effect is stable and constant, independently of whom the individual might be. However, recent research suggests that this effect may depend on the combination with other mutations. In some cases, it can be demonstrated that two "bad" mutations could combine to produce a perfectly healthy person, meaning that in the world of genetics, two "negatives" sometimes make a "positive". It is also likely that some mutations which cause disease may be benign if combined with other genetic changes, although this phenomenon has not yet been observed in humans. This is discouraging for personalised medicine, as the study of mutation interaction <b>...</b>
