BDE+Seminar+Presentation+3-27-12

I will talk about two topics in this presentation: the immunosignature entropy topic as well as probing my tumor cDNA library if there is time. Here are some presentations I will use as a reference for this presentation:

"C:\kurt\storage\CIM Research Folder\DR\2013\1-26-13\data_download\1920\Immunosignature Entropy Summary 3 3-2-12.ppt"

"C:\kurt\storage\CIM Research Folder\kwhittem\Presentations\2012\BDE Seminar Presentation 3-27-12\Spring 2012 General Meeting 4-4-12.ppt"

Here is the scan from my notebook that I gave the presentation from.

Comments or insights from audience during presentation (I can't remember them all but here are a few) > and > Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do > > Here's an e-mail I sent to Cosmo about varying stimulation > Here's a followup e-mail to Johnny about the optimal entropy for life
 * what are the number of affinity and specificity (I should really find a reference for the decrease in these traits)
 * what is a child, adolescent, and adult for a mouse
 * make sure to write natural log rather than log for the calculations that I calculated that way
 * People commented that I could get the entropy over a time course to see how it changes with time
 * Justin mentioned that I could purify antibodies against a specific target and then see how that changes
 * I could also see the difference in entropy in a time course after immunization for old and young
 * Tom brought up the issue that more jagged peaks seen on the higher entropy old sera could indicate more specificity. . .hmmmm. . something to think about
 * one thought is that some of the old sharp peaks could be due to left over antibodies that developed at a younger age perhaps? Not sure..
 * Afterward Cosmo told me about a book that looks quite interesting, and he said it had a major impact on his life. He said the book is called Linked and was written by Albert Lazlo Barbasi. The book also talks about Alfred Rangy and Ero^s. He mentioned that Jieping Ye here at ASU does work with brain type scans and is giving a talk in a few days. This may relate to the increase in the distribution of neuron connections.
