Encyclopedia > James Watson
James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) is one of the discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule. Born in Chicago, Illinois, he earned a B.Sc. in Zoology at the University of Chicago in 1947 and a Ph.D. in Zoology at Indiana University in 1950 before heading to Copenhagen for postdoctoral work.
In 1952, he started at Cavendish Laboratory, where he met Francis Crick. Building on the X-ray diffraction research of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, they together developed the proposal of the structure of DNA, which they published in the journal Nature on April 25, 1953. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery in 1962.
In 1988, Watson's achievement and success led to his appointment as the Head of the Human Genome Project at the National Institutes of Health, a position he held until 1992.
Watson is an outspoken atheist, known for his frank opinions on politics, religion, and the role of science in society. Controversial views he has stated include:
That if a genetic test for homosexuality existed, a mother should be able to abort the fetus if she wanted.
Linking intelligence inextricably to genes, saying that it would be beneficial to try and improve the human race by selecting against those with low intelligence.
He has written numerous books, including The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA (1968), Genes, Girls, and Gamov (2002), and (with Andrew Berry) DNA: The Secret of Life (2003).
A frequent public speaker, Watson currently serves as president of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory[?] in New York.

Q: R loop quantiles unless I have a dataframe DF,
DF <- data.frame(Column1 = c(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
                             1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,3))

q1 <-quantile(na.omit(DF$Column1), 0.25 ,names = FALSE)
q3 <- quantile(na.omit(DF$Column1), 0.75 ,names = FALSE)

DF <- data.frame(Column1 = c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,3))

q1 <-quantile(na.omit(DF$Column1), 0.25 ,names = FALSE)
q3 <- quantile(na.omit(DF$Column1), 0.75 ,names = FALSE)

I want a function like that:
If Quantile1=Quantile3=0
then DF$Column1 = DF$Column1 != 0 else DF$Column1 (remove that 0)
then we removed 0 and there is another case again Quantile1=Quantile3=1
then DF$Column1 = DF$Column1 != 1 else DF$Column1 (remove that 1)

I want this loop to run unless there is no Quantile1=Quantile3 in the Column1 values.
How can I write that loop?
Thanks.

A: Consider a function like this
neq_quantile <- function(x, q = c(0.25, 0.75), na.rm = TRUE) {
  na_pos <- which(is.na(x))
  y <- x
  x_pos <- seq_along(x)
  if (length(na_pos) > 0L) {
    y <- y[-na_pos]
    x_pos <- x_pos[-na_pos]
  }
  while(length(y) > 0L && all(diff(rng <- quantile(y, q)) == 0)) {
    keep <- y != rng[[1L]]
    y <- y[keep]
    x_pos <- x_pos[keep]
  }
  out <- logical(length(x))
  out[x_pos] <- TRUE
  if (!na.rm) out[na_pos] <- NA
  out
}

Then you can just
DF <- data.frame(
  Column1 = c(NA, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,3),
  Column2 = 1:46
)
DF[neq_quantile(DF$Column1), ]

Output
   Column1 Column2
45       2      45
46       3      46

If na.rm = FALSE, NAs will be kept as-is. For example,
> neq_quantile(DF$Column1)
 [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[25] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE
> neq_quantile(DF$Column1, na.rm = FALSE)
 [1]    NA FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[25] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE

After all of the activity associated with my postings on web analytics in a recession and cookie-use on Federal web sites I realize I have been strangely quiet lately here in the blog. This last month I'm suffering a little from "too much writing"–working on multiple client projects simultaneously–and so the poor blog keeps failing to make the top of the list. Suffice to say business is great and I'm excited about some of the public-facing projects I'm working on for 2009!
Happy Holidays to all of you reading this blog. Regardless of what you celebrate, I hope your celebrations are safe and enjoyable!

Canada Sees Benefits from Delaying Second COVID Vaccine Dose
Recent studies indicate Canada's decision to extend the interval between the first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines can actually lead to increased resistance to the virus. It also finds mixing the brand and type of doses gives better protection.
The decision by Canadian authorities to immunize as many people as possible with any available dose of COVID-19 vaccine, then extending the time until administering the second dose, appears to be paying off.
Recent data compiled by the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and the Quebec National Institute of Public Health also show the strategy of using the first available vaccine for a second dose, even if not the same brand as the first, actually increased effectiveness and saved lives.
Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca all recommend 21-28 days between the two shots. Canada's experience suggests protection is even stronger after a six-week interval.
For the Pfizer vaccine, this effectiveness went from 82% after a three- to four-week interval, to 93% when the booster, or secondary dose was given after four months.
The study also finds two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine gave less protection than the mRNA vaccines of Pfizer and Moderna. However, those who received an mRNA as a booster dose have the same protection as if they had two of the same, even if their first dose was AstraZeneca.
All three vaccines were found to be more than 90% effective in keeping recipients out of the hospital for COVID-19.
Throughout the pandemic, Dr. Bonnie Henry, the provincial health officer for the Canadian province of British Columbia, has encouraged first doses to be administered as quickly as possible — and not to worry whether the second dose is from a different vaccine.
Overall, she said, Canada's experience could provide insights for the rest of the world.
"We don't want countries to have to hold doses back or wait for manufacturers to be able to give people the full protection they need when they're seeing outbreaks in other countries — and we saw this in India, for example," she said. So it is really important globally that we're able to use whatever vaccines are available to support people to have good protection."
Joan Robinson, a pediatric infectious disease doctor and professor at the University of Alberta and Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, said increasing the time between the doses can be good for the long term in areas with stable or low coronavirus levels.
However, Robinson said, there is one downside for the short term, especially in areas where there are high concentrations of COVID-19 cases.
"So the delay between the doses during the time between your first and second dose, you're much more likely to get COVID than if you had got this second dose earlier," she said. "Certainly with the delta variant, one gets the impression that one dose may be less effective."
The findings of researchers in British Columbia and Quebec, which are thousands of kilometers apart, are almost identical.
This most recent Canadian data have not been widely published or peer reviewed, but researchers released the information early to make it available globally as soon as possible.

"Hawaii--Finding solitude on the Big Island"
.. By Joe Hilbers
After touring Hilo and environs with a rather large group of other writers it was time to do some exploring alone. So equipped with a Budget Rental car that still smelled new, this writer was on his way over Highway 19 to Waimea/Kohala junction and Highway 190 to Kailua Kona on the west coast of the Big Island.
It was late Fall and the summer tourists were gone and the winter snow birds still a few months away. Once nicely situated and headquartered at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Resort we s
A few destinations were already on the agenda. After seeing the PBS series on Captain Cook's explorations we wanted to visit Napoopoo on Kealakekua Bay where he was killed and where a Monument now stands. Also from Hilo we had made a short excursion into the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park but time was short and we had little more than a quick orientation from a Ranger. On my own I wanted to do more.
Hawaii, The Big Island, is just that. It has more land mass than all the other Islands put together. By the time my trip of exploration was finished I put over 700 miles on the rental car.
One afternoon I wandered around Kailua Kona looking over the small boat harbor and Kailua pier where I watched a Marlin fisherman pose for the traditional photo with his huge catch. With just as much interest a group of tourists, each couple in matching Muu Muu's and Hawaiian shirts.
However the next morning I got an early start on Hawaii highway 11 which took me south to where the Captain Cook Monument stands. I could only see it from a distance and was told that access to the exact spot should be made by boat.
Further along the highway I stopped at Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park. For the original Hawaiians this was a sacred sanctuary that provided protection to defeated warriors and other wrong doers. Once inside they would be forgiven by the Priests and given a second chance.
After that it was a long lonesome drive on Highway 11 also called the Mamalahoa Highway. At one point a secondary road, called the South Point Road, takes you to Ka Lae, which is the most southerly piece of ground in the U.S.
It is a spectacular place, visited most often by local fishermen since the lava cliffs there drop straight into the Pacific Ocean. Also a place to walk gingerly since there are lava fissures where one can look down to the ocean below. Here I spent some time talking to local fishermen about what they catch and what bait, etc.; fishermen always have something to talk about.
Once back on Highway 11 it was time for some refreshment and a look at the black sand beach at Punaluu and its Beach Park. All of this area is on the slopes of Mauna Loa, the largest single mountain mass in the world.
Then continuing on Highway 11 to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The Park will be the subject of a separate story as part of Vittles series on National Parks.
