Warren Weaver (July 17, 1894 – November 24, 1978) [1] was an American scientist, mathematician, and science administrator. [2] He is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of machine translation and as an important figure in creating support for science in the United States.
In its modern sense, molecular biology attempts to explain the phenomena of life starting from the macromolecular properties that generate them. Two categories of macromolecules in particular are the focus of the molecular biologist: 1) nucleic acids , among which the most famous is deoxyribonucleic acid (or DNA), the constituent of genes , and ...
In Weaver's view, disorganized complexity results from the particular system having a very large number of parts, say millions of parts, or many more. Though the interactions of the parts in a "disorganized complexity" situation can be seen as largely random, the properties of the system as a whole can be understood by using probability and ...
The idea of using digital computers for translation of natural languages was proposed as early as 1947 by England's A. D. Booth [5] and Warren Weaver at Rockefeller Foundation in the same year. "The memorandum written by Warren Weaver in 1949 is perhaps the single most influential publication in the earliest days of machine translation."
[1] Regulation of biological processes occurs when any process is modulated in its frequency, rate or extent. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression , protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule .
In Lifetime’s Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story, Luke Macfarlane portrays a philandering husband ready to risk it all for his side piece. In the above sneak peek at the upcoming film, premiering ...
Molecular biology – study of biology and biological functions at the molecular level, with some cross over from biochemistry. Structural biology – a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules. Health sciences and human biology – biology of humans.
The history of biology traces the study of the living world from ancient to modern times. Although the concept of biology as a single coherent field arose in the 19th century, the biological sciences emerged from traditions of medicine and natural history reaching back to Ayurveda, ancient Egyptian medicine and the works of Aristotle, Theophrastus and Galen in the ancient Greco-Roman world.
